Sticky is such a memorable character, the lone spotlight and red curtains give it a lovely eerie theatre feel. Building every pose and the live camera reactions as edits of one approved poster is exactly the right way to use DreamLayer. Great atmosphere!

How did you use DreamLayer?
DreamLayer made every visual on stage. I started with one approved poster of Sticky, then used DreamLayer edits of that same image for the full-body player (idle, run, jump, slow walk, zap), the live-camera portraits (idle, worried, shocked, bow), three act backdrops, spectators, crates, sandbag/weight, curtain, brick walls, spikes, and planks. The game keeps a tight code hitbox so jumps stay exact while the DreamLayer cutouts draw the body. Sound is separate (a meme yell on shock); gameplay code is HTML canvas.
