How does the game fit the theme?
It is a game about trying to find a fake among some silly little creatures, so you can't trust any of them at first.
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
The music and all sound effects except for the chomp one
How many people worked on the game?1

Yayyyyy! Very cute puzzle and you introduce the different mechanics as characters which I think is both smart and well-paced. Your art is real cute too, puzzle games are usually stressful for me but this one was so cozy and onboarded me gently so I was chilled out, nice work!
I cannot tell if I understood the mechanic or just got lucky, but still, good work!
I feel like a got lucky a lot, but still had a good time with these little guys.
Really cute deduction game. Having the game not fullscreen actually was a good choice to encourage people to read the description. Take some time to understand what to do but once you get it, it's relatively clear how you should play each level. Good job!
Nice little game. Good work.
This can be turned into a full idle pet raising game. The characters/creatures have their charm.
I don't know if each puzzle is truly solvable based solely on the creatures' characteristics. I sometimes blamed a creature based on a sense of randomness. In any case, bravo. Feeding a Bolp is really satisfying :) I had fun testing your game. The system is very cleverly designed. I imagine that you definitely can keep working on this project which has a clear potential.
All the puzzles should be solvable with what the game gives you, but if you get the right answer by getting lucky I think that's in the game's chill and silly spirit anyway. It does make it less satisfying considering there aren't that many puzzles but I'm glad you had fun anyway! (Also yeah the level where you feed the Bolp in a circle is one of my favorites even though it's really really easy haha)
This is a really fun little puzzle game! I actually quite enjoyed it with its silly music and sound effects. The creature sprites and names are quite fun and silly too. Some bugs/suggestions I have is that if you overlap 2 creatures and right click them, it shows both messages and plays both sound effects, and also some sort of short tutorial at the start would be nice since you don't need to read the description to understand the game. But overall, really fun and silly little game and I REALLY enjoyed this!
Thanks for the feedback! I did run into that bug too but then forgot to patch it on the final version, oops... I also was planning on there being a short tutorial and an in-game way to check all the characteristics of a given Friend, but I ran out of time. As I said in another comment, I may polish the game a bit more and add more Friend types and puzzles after the jam is done because I do think this game has more potential than I could deliver in the jam time. Glad you enjoyed it though, thanks again!
That's great to hear! I'll check out the game when you release the full version!
Coming back to play the game, I'm realizing it's actually kinda addictive with its simplicity and silliness! Rating updated :>
Fun little game! I really enjoyed the music. It slaps!
love the visuals and audio! a little how to play in the engine itself would be a nice little improvement :)
Yeah I had that planned but then had less time than I thought sadly. Thanks for playing!
Good job, i like the rules and the roles of each type, very nice game idea.
OMG.. Such a cute little brain twister! Not too hard no too easy.
It feels so good when you find the Faker. The puzzels were really fun to solve. I like the goofy art style too. Good job.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it! Maybe I'll add some more puzzles after the jam is done because I do feel like it's a bit too short, but I'm really glad you enjoyed what's there!
