How does you game fit the theme?
You play multiple minigames and each fits the theme in there own way. For example there's one word minigame were you get a word that's not real and you have to use some letters you get to make it real.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
A friend made the music and the main menu music was free but other than that I made just about everything.

Funny game, thanks for the submission!
I liked the different mini-games, even some of them were really hard (but never frustrating). The music fits good, and the style -even with some inconsistencies- works great! :)
Congrats, really good work!

The Fake PostI like ideas in those puzzles and various messages when player fails. I found style inconsistency a little bit disturbing. In the UI some elements use nice smooth texts, some pixel art style elements. Once there is view from first person, then you have top down view. Finally it appears as many separate ideas pieced together, but there is a bit missing between the dots. At the end I had fun playing the game, so great work! :)

Coin you see it?I past the first part but I'm not good at reading instructions and don't know what I did lol. I like the idea of jumping between minigames but you should work to have a more uniform style and feel. A fun aesthetic to tie things together maybe? Think of how warioware is instantly recognizable regardless of the game. Big brain academy does this well too, having a unifying direction and theme for all activities. A goal to build towards. Good job submitting on time o7.

The Bird EffectCool game, I thought the mini-games concept was a really fun idea. I couldn’t get past the first level with the mouse bug, but nice job on the game! This game has potential, good luck in the future!

Reality DealerUnfortunately, I got the mouse bug and couldn't even pass the first part :') But I do like these kind of minigames! I think it has potential! Great work ^^

RedDot.HunterThe purpose of this cute little game,
is to uncover what is fake.
In order to decode these puzzles,
do you have what it takes?
I love the graphics I love the sound,
the levels make me smile.
The clear instructions and the main menu,
show you went the extra mile.
I had to restart the game every time I died,
as pointed out by others.
It is still an amazing game you've made,
and I hope you make another :D

The AfterLife PartyCool game! Fortunately I didn't encounter the bug with the mouse not working on the first level, which is nice! I do have to say though, that the second one was a bit too much trial and error, one thing you could do to change it is to make smaller grids (multiple levels) and limiting how many times the player can go through it ^^ That way it's not just a matter of trying without thinking, but an actual challenge where the player has to think to do it!
Other than that, not much to say, the art style and music were really nice ^^ Good job :D
Cool game, I like the minigames and it has a cool interpretation of the theme. But on the first level, when you die and restart it does not let you move your mouse so I have to restart it. But good game anyway.

Real Zombie?This fits the theme well! Keep it up, I liked the sense of humor and how all the minigames really did fit the theme :)

Puzzle PurgatoryI'm sorry, it's not your fault, but I can't download any type of itch.io game. It's a problem with my computer.
I apologise, but good luck in the jam!

SnailSweeperI really like the goofy sense of humor that this game has - a lot of the failure messages made me laugh out loud. I also like the idea of making a game pack for a jam, because it lets you try a lot of different ideas.
I only played the first two games, I had to give up on the second one, but my criticism is the same for both: don't make your games completely based in trial-and-error! You said there's a trick for the first game, so maybe I missed it, but I just beat it by memorizing the solution and getting a little lucky. Is there another way to beat it? It seems like there's no distinction between the real and fakes, because the characters didn't change at all visually after getting a hit in. I also had the issue where my input was disabled after losing once, so I had to reset the entire game to try again.
I have the same issue for the second maze game, you're just trying over and over until you win. I think it could be improved if you give the player opportunities to use their skill to avoid dying instead of leaving it up to luck and memory.
Overall, I did have fun playing this. In the future you should put a little more thought into the gameplay though. You have a good sense of humor and good ideas, so make full use of them by making the gameplay skill based instead of luck based.

Kero RomanticThank you so much for the feedback! I'm glad you thought it was funny!
Okay i'll start with the mouse input. I do not what causes that bug I tried to fix it multiple times but could not figure it out, it is like the script just does not work the second time threw. But a quick way to fix it is to click escape and then resume and it works again.
I'm very sad you did not get to play the third and last game because funnily enough that was the only game that had zero luck in it!
The second game was definitely too trial and error based and I have some ideas on how to fix it! But the first game, I have no clue how to make less trial and error based because at the moment the only way to beat is just memorize the pattern that the switching follows. If you have any ideas or suggestions on some way I could make it less based on trial and error I would really appreciate it!
Once again thank so much for the feedback and now ill go play your game!
Nice cool game with the concept of minigames in it ! Difficulty also increases ! Fun to play !
I have rated your game ! Also can you rate my game ^_^
