Hello illusionists! Today I'm launching another update for Fake Illusions. This update adds controller support, and it will have two new illusions for you to play!
The Cornsweet illusion is a neat trick to create illusory contrast between colors. Except for one of the colors, of course! The monochrome rainbow falls apart once the black & white lines separating them disappear!
Secondly, we have the flash lag illusion! If an object is constantly moving, and an object flashes in and out next of it, you'll see that flash in an entirely different spot from where it actually turned up! Various variations of this effect are explored in the game.
Controller support builds on the keyboard support that was added in the last update. On Windows, joypads using either DirectInput or Xinput can be connected, which should cover most common controllers. You'll still need the mouse in rare cases, but this should make playing the game more comfortable if you have a joypad lying around!
For Steam players, aside from adding achievements for just the two new illusions, there are some completely fresh achievements toobut they don't have any descriptions, so you'll need to guess what exactly you'll need to do! Good luck figuring these out.
Additionally, Fake Illusions will be 20% off during the grand winter sale! That makes this update 20% more stuff for 20% less cash.
I'm planning to release at least one more update, so stay posted and I'll see you next time!

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).
