How does you game fit the theme?
When you are dreaming, is it real, or is it Just a dream? Does the action you do in your dreams have repercussions on what is real? What is real?
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, we made everything expect the sfx that I found on freesound.org

Huge props to this very well put together. Like that it has a sense of urgency to press the button before the "Bug Demon" gets you. Super fun overall.
Hey
Spot on game. Loved the audio. Loved the concept. Great job overall. I enjoyed it :D
Please can you play my game. I'm looking to gain more feedback on what to improve on.
Thank you
Really cool game. i like the mechanic that your abilities change depending on if you are in the dream or not. I also like how you used the flies to stop us from staying in the dream too long. All in all a nice little game, well done!
Very dystopian lol. The dreaming mechanic was interesting. The pixel art went well together. Good job!
Thanks a lot 😁!
I really liked your game! It felt like it was well worked trough and polished, though a bit short. Still good and short is better in a game jam!! I was a bit confused by the rats in the beginning - they felt like enemies. All in all one of the more enjoyable games I have tried this jam! Good work!!
Thank you 👍, glad you enjoyed it 😁!
It lacked some variation in the level/puzzle design but the core mechanic is interesting to explore. It just needs some more supporting mechanics like things your dream version is too weak to do or a barrier it cannot pass to prevent you from solving the level in your dream and then just walking through it afterwards.
That's some really good ideas, I didn't have time to add more levels/mechanics, but this would have been a good way of improving, thanks for the feedback 👍
Yeah I totally get that, we too had bigger plans that what was possible during the jam time. I hope the feedback didn’t sound rude or anything, it was a nice game for a jam :D
I was sad when it ended, I was hoping it'd be longer! It's amazing how much the different zoom levels impacted the atmosphere. Seeing the art from different perspectives gave each level a slightly different feeling that I really liked. I think if you add in another mechanic or two you could come up with many more levels to explore.
Good job, I love the red fly !
The level design could have been better in my opinion, but the concept and the way everything works is very well done! The sound track is very nice as well!
Good job!
Thanks for the comment 👍, I didn't have a lot of inspiration for the levels and I only managed to make 4, I should have taken more time planing on the levels 😆
Really great job! It reminds me of all the times I see myself flying in my dreams. I like the universe and the mechanics, nice work on music, I appreciate!
PS: I guess I geted softlocked dying during the sleeping mode at the bottom of the map on level 4.
Je vois que tu es français donc je ne vais pas m'embêter 😂,
Merci beaucoup pour le commentaire, désolé que tu te sois retrouvé bloqué je me demande comment c'est arrivé 🤔 tu aurais dû pouvoir retourner au vrai corps en cliquant sur S ou en sautant dans le trou. J'aurais surement du rajouter la possibilité de redémarrer le niveau en appuyant sur r, je m'en souviendrais pour mon prochain jeu 👍
Et encore une fois bravo ton jeu est super 😁
Merci!
Désolé j'avais pas beaucoup de temps pour répondre, si ça se trouve c'est pas un softlock. Ces prochains jours j'essaie de retrouver l'endroit ;)
Nice simple idea and I really liked the pixel art and choice of music. I think it would have been better if you'd kept the same resolution throughout as I found the larger pixels quite jarring going into the second level, but I appreciate that might have made some of the puzzles too easy. Nice work though!
Thanks, I was torn by the idea of zooming in like this to hide the rest of the level or whether to show more making the level easier, I should probably have kept the same zoom level and thought of a level with more spaced elements
Nice game, good job!
Thanks! 👍
I enjoyed this game a lot! I had some difficulties at the beginning to understand the game but after that I really liked it! (I got jumpscared, the first time I saw the red fly! :D ! )
Glad to hear that 😆
nice game
thanks 😀
Quite good, really like the color palette. I think one minor thing might be to make the dream character look more like it was flying rather than walking in air, could even just take the climbing pose and rotate based on movement. Great job overall!
You're right I should have made another animation, but i didn't had time to do it 😂
Rotating th climbing animation would have been a good quick idea👍
Nice little game. like the visual and the spooky ambiance.
Good job :)
thanks 😀
great game. I love the duality of sleeping and being awake and solving puzzles. I managed to play to the end and I enjoyed it. Might play some more because there are definitely spaces that I haven't explored. This is a great piece of work for this theme and I am very impressed! good job.
Thank you really much 👍 that's exactly the feeling i wanted to create, the game could definitely be expanded to include secrets and/or a more open world style.
Very good game, very interesting concept, definitely one of my favorites in all the games i've tried ^^ good job !
Thank you very much 😄 glad to hear that 👍
Interesting Concept and good music. I agree with Lysil, the character awake feels a bit slow
I wanted to give a sad feeling of the real life, the feeling that the character is able to break from its chains only when sleeping where he can fly go anywhere as fast as he wants, as opposed to the real life where he walks slowly and everything is sad. Maybe the effect was too strong and i should have made him a bit faster 🤷♂️
Thanks for the feedback 👍
interesting and fun idea exeuted really well, maybe make the player a little faster.
