How does your game fit the theme?
With Dream Catcher we embraced the theme of "diving deeper" by immersing players into an intense experience where they dive further into the heart of fear. As Meek, a dream-walking spirit, you're immediately drawn into a surreal world that captures the essence of venturing into the unknown depths. This theme resonates as you navigate through the haunting landscape of the Abyss, each step emboldening your resolve. Adding an extra layer of challenge, we've interwoven a second theme 'travel and terror' making sure your journey isn't just a run but a nerve-wracking expedition.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
All of the code and Graphics were created during the jam by Josh and Rayner.
The sound FX and music were purchased from splice.

Died 3 times in a row after 5m... then I managed almost 500m. Still got thrilled, when I got eaten. :D
Great game!
Thanks! yeah it takes a minute to get the hang of the controls for sure! great score :) appreciate the feedback!
instantly died after launching the game 10/10
jokes aside, really fun and thrilling gameplay, and i like the artstyle!
haha its definately the dark souls of game jams lol! thanks for the feedback charm really appreicate it!
Great and simple game, very cool
Thankyou for playing!! :)
Really have nothing bad to say about this one! I would love to see this game on mobile! Rated! Would you mind rating mine? https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-10/rate/2236551
Wow thanks so much, we designed the game with porting it to mobile in mind for the near future so we can let you know when that happens if you like :) I will definately play and rate your game friend!
Wow! Really cool game! I like scary music and tense atmosphere in this game. The mechanics are simple but fun. At first it was not very clear how to survive in this game. I don't know if this is a feature or a bug, but I think the easiest way to last as long as possible in this game is to keep the light at such a level that you can see the teeth of the top monster. It was very interesting to play!
Thanks for the lovely feedback! Yes, coasting on the top monster is probably the easiest way to survive but he will get you sometimes if your not quick enough haha! All the best and hope you had fun!
Good style and exciting gameplay, but it would be nice to be able to enable fullscreen mode
Thanks thats great feedback and I agree that would be cool :)
Overall, love the graphics! It is an amazing style, gameplay was partially unclear, but still enjoyed my time playing the game. Great work!
Thanks for leaving your feedback Landon appreciate the constructive notes and glad you had fun :)
Audio level and graphics nothing to say, it's perfect and it plunges us into the atmosphere. Quite hard to understand the goal and I do not know if I play it correctly (as I stay alive I think so, on the other hand I do not know if 423 is a good score or not?). The game, however, becomes far too dark to be played at any time.
Hey Onilaf, thanks for your kind words. I put in some developer tips in below the game if you scroll down the page, 400 is a pretty good score though you did well considering you didnt fully understand the mechanics. Thanks for playing and leaving some great feedback its really appreciated.
I have seen and read the tips but my English is poor (all my comments are translated on google translation...). But it's really a very good innovative game because I haven't seen anything similar yet (unlike all scuba diving games...)
Thanks! I think your english is great! I feel if we had some more time and feedback we could have balanced the controls to be more forgiving and perhaps added a tutorial, If we pursue the game futher we will add these things and ill let you know! :)
He ate Meek. I remember the times I had with Meek. I used to look at him, and he would move. I do not remember any other memories.
Yea this was scary and had really great art style liked it and send me a picture of Meek thank you 👍
Haha Thanks for the fun feedback :)
A game with easy controls! That, i can get behind. Good art theme as well
Thanks so much, hope you had some fun with our game :)
This is a very interesting game! It's like an endless runner that I have never seen before. Creative concept
Thanks so much fam! We really wanted to come up with an original mechanic for the game so im glad we hit that for you :) loved your game too <3
The atmosphere is amazing! The graphics and sounds are perfect!
I just find the game a bit hard to pick up.
Thanks for your feedback, I hope you could still have some fun!
The graphics and the sound design are really great. To be honest the gameplay was hard to get, especially because you are able to die after being 1 second in the game, which makes it at some points impossible to understand what is going on. Other than that the game is a really great and polished experience. You should keep working on it!
Hey thanks for the awesome feedback I appreciate the time you took to play and comment on the game! We will definitely work on fixing that if we decide to pursue further development, going to take a breather though!
Great game . cool atmosphere and sound effect . Hard to understand .
Thankyou for your feedback, needed some clearer instructions yeah thanks for playing :)
Nice game! Love the art and music, but its pretty hard for me to really understand what to do at first.
Hey thanks for the feedback! Will work on a better tutorial if we do a future update thankyou :)
Really well done! Love the vibe, and the gameplay is really interesting. Overall style is top notch.
Thanks for such kind feedback :) Appreciate you!
Very well made, I loved the art style and audio. However, the gameplay was hard to understand at first. Overall great submission!
Thanks so much for letting us know we will definitely take that feedback on board in the future :) Thanks for stopping by and commenting legend!
Really cool art style and great sound. Gets fun once you figure it out.Took me a bit, clearer instructions would help. Light fading as you look around is a cool mechanic. Awesome game– even got scared hahah.
Haha thanks so much for your awesome feedback Daniel! We both got jumpscared by it too hahaha :)
Good game- especially in the audio and graphics departments! Had a little trouble with understanding the gameplay at first, however.
Thanks so much for letting us know! The gameplay is tricky to grasp but glad you figured it out and hopefully had some fun!
graphics & audio were definitely astonishing!
gameplay was a bit hard to get the hang of, but in general it was a damn cool experience!
amazing job!
Thanks so much for dropping a comment Leradomi, glad you had a fun experience, that was the goal! Will check out your game too :)
