i love the idea of being stuck in a dream loop. if only it was longer. reminds me of One Chance. PLEASE PLEASE make this into a full game i would love to see where this could go

Developer

tysmmm, I wasn't thinking of making it into a full game but now I kinda wanna see where this could go too

Very short and simple "spot the difference" game. Got through it pretty quickly. Doesn't overstay its welcome, and is put together well enough. Not sure why you were able to look down if it never really came up, though.

Developer(+1)

tbh, I dont even know why you can look down, I just put it cause you can look up. But ty for the feekbackk

We did a similar concept! Ours is also a dream loop except its a nightmare and its horror themed haha. Nice job with your submission! :) 

Nice game! The art is cool! If you have a moment, we'd love for you to check out our team's project too. It's called "round-and-wound" ,  hope you enjoy it! -->  /jam/gmtk-2025/rate/3780863

Very interesting game idea. Was playing it with my friends on discord and one of us jokingly said at the beginning "Hey, can you jump off the balcony", which, to out surprire, we could do so we died before going to sleep XD

Overral, great game. Had me question everything I saw. Keep up the good work!

Developer(+2)

Nice concept! The art of the character is really cool

Submitted(+2)

I do like the concept, but I think the character moves quite slow. This makes it that you see very little at a time, and you just scan at a constant pace while you walk right, to then walk left again. The art is nicely stylized

Loved the vibes in this! Was a good amount of unsettling and overall had me pretty hooked. Well done!

tysmmm!! Glad you liked it

very cool idea !! fits the theme perfectly and i adore the pixel art main character. the only thing i'd change a bit is the players speed as he moves a bit to slowly for my liking but it does help achieve the dream like state. 

Developer(+2)

tysmmm :) !! (You are right about the speed, I'll make sure to add a sprint button after the jam cause the player does in fact move quite slowly)

Submitted(+2)

I have dreams within dreams within dreams all the time and it's terrifying, so this is like simulating my hell. I actually managed to escape first time without dying so I'm happy about that. Very creative idea and fits the theme in a unique way!

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Yeah, waking up in your dream is actually terrifying , thats what gave me and my friend the idea for the game. Also, tysm for the positive feedbackk!

(+2)

I really liked this one: short, simple and an overall good idea 😄.

I few annoyances:

  • The sound was a little loud when u woke up
  • I would increase the player's speed, its a little slow

Tysm for the feedbackk! (You're right, Ill try to fix those issues after the jamm)

Very cool game, if not a little bit dark. Overall a very good use of the theme and great execution.
