How does the game fit the theme?
You fool government officials into thinking you have a bigger, more vibrant city than you actually do. Just don't get caught!

I ended up reversing the theme as I developed the game more.

Really fun ! I really like it ! It's such a creative concept !

Really cool, unique idea! The UI visuals and feel are top-tier, and the game offers a nice puzzle challenge. Adding an undo button would be a great QoL fix, but overall it’s an awesome, super polished entry!

A fake city builder is such a unique concept! Great idea. I got stuck after my buildings couldn't be moved around D: but the parody is hilarious. Rated!

Awesome.  I couldn't find anything about it that I wouldn't call well polished.  Even the pacing and balancing scales well throughout the levels.  I'd play this like crazy if it were full game.  30/30 stars.

Feel like real life, make up a façade to gather more funding, Great game, had fun!

Gameplay visually looks sick, wow. The tutorial section was solidly explained to me in a concise, and simple way. This game appears to be a strategy type of game. That's really neat, it almost reminds me of The Sims games when I start building mansions, buildings, rooms, etc. I failed on the 3rd day and I failed again.

The game feels really good. I had to start over, as there was no way to complete the later levels with where I placed houses. I think the ability to choose which streets they go down would prevent people from starting over. Overall good job

A very unique idea. The game has a lot of polish and I  really liked the feel and visual of UI in the game, great job on it.  The game does require the player to think. Only one quality of life change would be an undo  button . Overall the game is very well made!

I played it for more than 20 minutes and genuinely had a great time. Great job!
