Hello illusionists! I've prepared an update for you, just in time for Halloween. The full changelog is at the bottom of this post, but here are the highlights:

Two New Illusions!

Enjoy the new Poggendorff illusion, in which you'll need to spot secretly disconnected lines, and the Pinna et al. (or "Watercolor") illusion, where a tricky effect will make objects seem discolored, but only one actually is fully chromatic. You can unlock these after unlocking all main illusions.

Keyboard support

QWERTY, AZERTY, and DVORAK users rejoice! You can now use the keyboard controls to jump from object to object and fully play the game this way, as an alternative to the original mouse controls.

Dark Theme

Were some illusions a tad too bright for your eyes? With the newly added Dark Mode, you can now play most of the illusions with more eye-friendly colors. And it looks kinda stylish, too! That's all for this version. I am planning to make a few more updates, so I'll keep you posted! Until then, take care & enjoy!

Fake Illusions, version 1.1.0

NEW: Poggendorff illusion added. NEW: Watercolor (Pinna et al.) illusion added. NEW: Dark mode added for a majority of illusions. NEW: Keyboard support added. Supports QWERTY, AZERTY and DVORAK keybindings by default. NEW: (Steam) Achievements added for the two new illusions. NEW: Two new songs added to the rotation (for a total of 11.) FIX: Some invisible buttons from the settings menu could be clicked, causing incorrect sound effects to play or settings to be toggled. FIX: Under rare conditions, you could start a new difficulty of an illusion with some % already obtained. TWEAK: Many small graphical tweaks and gameplay fixes to make the game easier to understand & more consistent between the different illusions.

Fake Illusions is a collection of optical illusions—but some of them are not playing fair! Where some lines only look diagonal, one line actually is, and circles look like they differ in size, but secretly, one of them is bigger or smaller, camouflaged by the illusion. It's your job to point them out! But beware—the fakers will do everything to stay unnoticed... It's the ultimate test of your focus!

Featuring ten different versions of famous illusions like the Hermann Grid or Müller-Lyer arrows, each with a number of variants and distractions, for a total of 50 levels! If that's not enough, try the relaxing Zen mode or the hectic Shuffle mode! You can play it together too: as long as everyone can see your screen, you can use the number each illusion is tagged with to discuss and accuse fakers. You can even export your favorite puzzles as a GIF after solving!

Fake Illusions was made by solo developer Auroriax (best known for Mobility! The accessible precision platformer).
