List of April Fools pranks

Within Bug Fables' development and post-launch, there has been an annual April Fools prank by the developers. Although most are merely "mockup" images/videos, others (especially in more recent years) are games that can be played.
==Actual Bugs==
Actual Bugs was posted as 2017's April Fools joke which was proposed to change each character "from 2D sprites to extremely photorealistic, biologically accurate 3D Models". The "game" was set to be delayed to 2027 due to this.

It is a visual novel that follows Vi (then named "Bee" at the time) as she struggles with her school life at Golden Hills University. The game notably has a more "anime" artstyle and each character turned human, with art drawn by character designer Futes.
==Nintendo 64 port==
The Nintendo 64 port was posted in 2019. Due to needing to "get used to the new framework", the game would've had to be delayed by 2020.

Bug Fables: The Everlasting Fighters was an April Fool's "game" by Moonsprout Games for April Fool's Day 2020. A "trailer" was posted on Twitter and the game's official YouTube channel on that day. It was proposed for a 2420 release date.
The game was at one point meant to be playable, though due to the amount of effort within the project, as well as the COVID-19 Pandemic, the game was canceled.Twitter ThreadDiscord Messages

Bug Fables - Aphid Festival was released in 2021 on itch.io. It is notable for being the first playable April Fools game since the Version 0.4.1 demo. The game, set in the Golden Settlement, serves as a farming simulator where the player can train, feed, and care for their pet Aphid. 
==Vi Simulator==
Vi Simulator was released in 2022 on itch.io. The game allows the player to launch Vi around a cityscape with a bar that must be clicked at the right time. The game has four endings depending on where Vi lands.
==Pay to Vin==
Pay to Vin, also referred to as "Version 1.1.3", is a 2023 video posted as that year's April Fools prank. The video showcases a new feature in this update, "Vinning". Described as "Winning. But Cooler", the player is forced to use up all their Termacade tokens in order to "Vin". When the player "Vins", a chest appears, opening up what appears to be the reward, before cutting to the credits.
