Great job! A few things that I didn't like were the initial movement and how I didn't have any brakes. I love how the movement felt when it was only the cardinal directions. I also thought that it would've been better if the challenges appeared after a certain time instead of every 10 newspapers delivered. Overall though, amazing work!

How does you game fit the theme?
Fake news are not real... Or are they?
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, we made everything from scratch except for the game engine and the fonts.

Thank you so much, KMamuyac! :D
The movement was kinda an experiment: we wanted to give the feeling of riding a bike (no brakes, smooth turning). However not all the experiences fit well in a videogame, so maybe we needed a bit more of playtesting ^^
Thanks again for your feedback! (And congrats for your game :D)
Really cool game, love the character design, I think the cycling animation is really good. Throwing the newspapers felt satisfying as well. Overall, I enjoyed playing it, great work!

It's a great concept, though the news could pop up more often to add more challenge to it. The art style and music work really well. Overall good job :)

GhostkeeperThis is great! I think it was very creative to use fake news like this! My only suggestion would be to decrease the amount of newspapers you have to deliver before a new one appears. It just gets too repetitive after some time :') But I had a great time! Love the art style and the music too ^^

RedDot.HunterThanks Solanum Team!
Yep, we agree: it's hard to reach the first fake-news, maybe starting with lower requirements would have helped! We were so focused on fixing bugs that we forgot to tune the user experience ^-^'
Next time, we definitely won't forget to playtest a lot! :D
Thanks again for taking time to play our game :)
Very nice character design. And fake news is a good take on the theme. Controlling is a bit hard after the first newspaper. Nevertheless a solid entry.Well Done!

The Catch (Brackeys Game Jam 2022.1)Thank you for playing and liking it! ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶
Next time we'll strive to have quicker progression in our games. This time, we were afraid that the player would've run out of content too quickly if we lowered the amount of required newspapers per selection. Furthermore, the displayed news are selected with plain random numbers without any particular strategy behind them, so it wasn't as polished as I would've liked. :°c
Cool concept! I liked the idea but it was a little hard to deliver mail. Maybe make it so you only need like 5 mail to get the fake news. Also it would be nice if the downloaded version had fullscreen. But overall with a little polish it could be a great game!
Could you please review my game as well I need some ratings.

I lost my ballarinaThank you!! (✧ω✧)
You can select a piece of fake news every 10 delivered newspapers, and you can monitor the total number of delivered newspapers on the top right corner of the screen, near the newspaper icon. We're aware that it is easy to click on a piece of news too quickly before reading it, so my advice is to be careful not to spam-click on the screen when the counter is close to a multiple of 10.
By the way, your game has a nice soundtrack.
