How does you game fit the theme?
You're Daydreaming, while driving you're car inside of the real world. The Daydream you're in is the thing that IS NOT REAL
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Code = All by myself
Assets = NOT by myself

I like the idea but this was super hard. The attack was so slow in the daydream that it made it really hard to check if you could walk forward more. I kept dying from the daydream going too fast.
your game features in my video
Yoo, thanks really appreciate it :)))
Great Video btw, really entertaining!!
thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Great game. Rated it. The graphics are good and it relates to the theme. Pls check out my game as well if you dont mind - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418152
Thanks, for playing I have now played and rated yours :)
Really enjoyed this, the driving with the mouse was perfect, like I had to remind myself to move, and the platformer was the right amount of stressful!
Nice idea and game, I would have appreciated a tutorial, because it's hard to understand what to do
Cool concept, should totally be used to teach people not to text and drive!
I feel like the attack should be a bit faster to be fun. Not sure if I totally suck at 28 points but those 1k-2k achievements are crazy!
Good job!
Fun multitasking game, I like how the driving mechanic feels
Thanks for playing :))
pretty interesting idea, it is really fun to play too, my only nitpick is that the restart takes too long, for a hard game like this a fast restart really helps you to learn it quickly.
What a fantastic concept! Really loved this idea although my dumdum brain is super bad at the multitasking! As requested, here's the vid where I play the game, hope you enjoy!
Thanks!!
Don't worry it's a hard concept to get into and I didn't exactly do the best job at slowly exposing players to the challenges they'd face
Also really appreciate that you played my game in a video, I'm looking forward to your first reactions while playing :))
Oh this is really hard. It is not easy for me to play two games at same time lol. Really a good job you made. I enjoyed playing very much.
This game is very nice, where you play 2 different games but it takes much more practice before you get used to it, but anyway good job!
Thanks for playing!!
unique idea my friend, that was new for me! good job and well done!!
Thanks for playing my game :)
I've already tested and rated your game, quite interesting the fact that you have to play 2 different games, it needs to be polished a bit but I really liked it a lot, I think you should find a way amm I don't know how to say it but after each game I felt super dizzy, but very well congratulations, these days I will be uploading a video to my new channel playing your game and other jam games, I invite you to subscribe, I leave you the link, I will also upload tutorials in case you want to learn to program games at once easily, quickly and professionally and for free, and if you have not tested or rated my game, I will, I invite you to do so!

Thanks for playing and making a Video, I'm keen to See your first reactions. I'll Look at your Game very soon :)
I think the enemies are a little bit indistinguishable. Their color doesn't pop out. That isn't normally a problem, but this is a multi-tasking game so it really helps to have elements you can recognize purely with color. For example, the car colors in this game stand out really well.
The concept is super cool, and I'd love to see the game polished up after the jam is over!
Awesome idea and really well implemented. Personally I was holding right in the dream a lot and was not being punished. An idea for this game would be to make the dream more based on quick time events, that would demand me to pay attention to the dream but not absorb my entire focus or ignore it completely. Overall, great work.
Yeah, the dream is basically just 80% pressing right and thats not the best game mechanic I heard :))
As soon as the lock for this jam is gone, I#ll probably add collision to the enemies, so you have to attack them, and something like a second attack so you have to use specific buttons and can't spam one.
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!!
The concept of this game is really cool, it's also really hard though. It is fun trying to split your focus on both games. I did somehow manage to glitch the dream guy out of his level (grey background), so I could just keep walking to the right with him and drive the car. But even that somehow still fit with the theme :).
Well, you're the first one to find a bug in the game. You probably fell thorugh the floor and just were midair the whole time, which obviously shouldn't happen :).
I'm guessing you were playing the web version, did it happen right at the start or did it happen somewhere midgame?
You probably don't remember now, but thanks for alerting me of this bug and thanks for playing!!
I did play the web version, and I think it happend around the time you came across the first enemy.
Thanks for the quick answer, I'll definitely Look into it :)
This is a really cool idea, at first I had no idea what I was doing but once into it it's really fun. I could really see it with a scoreboard and trying to beat friends scores etc. I'm not sure about the art style though, I think with the music (which creates a nice atmosphere) something more futuristic/sci-fi would mesh better.
Thanks!!
Scoreboard would definetely not be a bad idea, since scores are basically the whole purpose of the game.
The problems with the graphics are that I cannot create any good looking assets myself, so for jams I'm restricted to basically anything thats free somewhere, but maybe in the future I could find something more fitting :)
This was a great idea! It took me a bit to understand I had to keep both games going. After I figured that out, really fun and a pretty nifty concept!
Thanks for the comment!!
Glad you sticked to it even though it is somewhat hard to get into :))
Interesting idea. At the same time, I like the mechanics while also hating them because I didn't get the controls straight away and kept sliding off the road... :D
There seems to be a sound stutter when reloading the game.
Introducing daydream later would let the player get used to car controls first, imo.
Well done!
Thanks for the feedback!!!
The game has a step curve to get into I give that.
The sound stutter is exclusive to the html version and seems to be an with the export settings I chose so I hope i'll be easy to fix.
Lastly, someone else also came up with the ideo of easing the player into these mechanics by introducing it slowly so it's definitely something I'll take a look at. :)
I think this is a really good test of multitasking abilities! You did a nice job bringing it all together. I think it would be nice if you started daydreaming after a little bit of time. This way the player has some time to learn the controls of the car first. Anyways, Nice job!
Easing the player into the sdaydream is something I heard from a few people, so maybe I should think about it.
Thanks for the comment!!
