What a weird game, I didn't look at the screenshots and was so surprised seeing the beginning LOL. Its been said already but a retry would go a long way. It also seemed there is no proper invulnerability timer for the player? When you get hit, you can easily lose all your health in a second. Besides that, really neat game, I loved the platforming!

Developer

Yeah, there is no invulnerability on the player as you mentioned, we never noticed the fact (even when we put invulnerability on the boss :0 ). The hazards were designed so that you lose all the health at once, enemies and the boss deal single damage; thank you for your feedback and I am glad you liked the platforming :)

Submitted

The game was nothing like the cover suggested haha

I just wish the attack felt a bit more powerful and had a bigger hitbox

Cool game!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Pretty good job, the fact that I have to reload the page everytime is annoying, as someone already pointed out, but the game itself is fine and I really liked the starting screen :)

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

It really suprised me that there is no retry option and its pretty annoying because if I want to retry I have to refresh the page.

Developer

I see, a lot of other people have commented the same; we will be careful next time. Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Really wish there was a retry option, dashes feel great but I kept dashing into a corner, launching me upwards into the spikes lol

Had to restart the page to get another try,  decent game though

Developer(+1)

We thought about ending the dream with a death rather than restarting which seemed weird to us, but a few people have pointed this out already; we will be more careful next time. Thank you for playing!

Submitted

Really like the idea of a game happening inside someone's dream, and enjoyed the smooth glide-y feel of the dashes and jumps. :) 

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

I like the contrast between the real world and the dream! The dreaming guy looks real while the dream is in a cartoon style.

However, I'm a little bit confused about the font. Since the main gameplay is not horror-themed, using a horror font might feel out of tone. If you want to keep it, perhaps make the art style in the dream more creepy?

Developer

Thank you for playing! We completely overlooked the contrast between the art style and font, thanks for pointing it out. We had planned on a regular dream turning into a nightmare so we thought the font works but as you mentioned it is not a horror game, we will be more careful next time!

Developer

Thanks for playing! We thought the font might highlight the nightmare scene ?! Thanks for the feedback, we will improve it in the next game jam XD!

Submitted

It's just a small suggestion based on my personal experience. Other than that, you guys did a fantastic job!

Submitted

pretty cool! I liked the combat, but I think the double jump was a bit buggy, It would inconstantly boost me up

Developer

Thanks for playing! We implemented double jump by adding to the velocity. Maybe that caused some issues? Anyway, thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

Like the idea of the art completely changing from real life to dreams

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Nice blend of 3D and 2D platforming, it captures the dreamlike atmosphere nicely. The art style and ambient audio are both charming and effective. A few additional UI cues or a retry button might help smooth out the experience. Overall, it's an engaging and innovative platformer!

Nice game. Good job.

Developer

Thanks!

Good work! This was a nice little platformer :) I liked the dash mechanic, though it was a little awkward to press while trying to move with WASD. It took me a few tries to get to the end because of this, and then having to restart from the beginning was a little annoying. But I got there! 

I think the combat worked well, though sometimes it felt the ghosts had different levels of health to other ghosts which meant I would expect it to be defeated, but then it would still exist and damage me. 

Losing all the hearts at once when jumping up into them was also something which I think can be improved, as this also resulted in a complete restart.

Good work, and also great take on the theme! :D 

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the detailed feedback!

Submitted

good job on the theme! fun little game 

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

That was a very fun game with a unique concept! I was pleasantly surprised when the game transitioned into a 2D platformer!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Good concept! I liked it! Although the <span class="EzKURWReUAB5oZgtQNkl" data-src-align="9:2" <the<="" span="">visuals</span> are simple, the gameplay was fun and the controls were responsive. Great job!

Thanks!

Nightmare vibe, I liked the style and music. Too sad the game is so short, I would have liked to play longer.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Submitted

Fun game, Good job

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Fit the theme so much, and it's fun to play!

Developer

Thanks!

Submitted

Very cool! The 3D part and the 2D part feel like 2 different games, Got me by surprise. The platforming is fun, Suggesting making the colliders for the traps smaller and giving the players 3 hearts of something because I died fast and it's an immediate game over which is a shame because I lost all progress and I need to do everything again (You also only let me exit the game instead of going to main menu when I die)

Keep it up!

Developer

Thanks for playing and for the detailed feedback! A lot of people suggested adding a retry button too! We will keep this in mind for the next jam!
