Like the grafics and the easy mechanic. Its a bit hard to hit some of the nightmares, but that are just minor details ;)

How does you game fit the theme?
Loosely, I had the idea of an adventure within dreams. Fighting nightmares and such.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I did.

I really enjoyed this game! It had a real nice feel to it and the art style of it was really cute! One thing, and maybe this is just Elden Ring clouding my judgment, the game is a bit easy and a little monotonous. Once you get into a groove it does become pretty easy to make it through. Other than that though this is a real nice game that you have hear! Great work!
Great job on this submission! I thought your art and gameplay were mechanics were very well done. The only feedback I would like to give is to provide a score meter or some way for the player to see progress. Overall this is very well done!
Nice little game ! The graphics are gorgeous, the sound design is simple but efficient, and I really enjoyed the diversity of enemies, that really brings some gameplay changes instead of being just cosmetic.
I would have enjoyed a bit of music during gameplay, and aiming was a bit hard: the projectiles are quite slow and it's not obvious where the character will shoot from.
But despite these two little things, that's still a nice and enjoyable game, congratulations =) !
The pixel art is absolutely fantastic, well done! I do like how there was a sense of progression as I did notice some enemy variety and some increase in enemy presence as I went along but it did feel like the rate they were happening was a bit slow. I do think there needed to be some sort of clarity to what the goal was as there was no score system or progress meter to determine what I should be doing. I get the sense this was more of an endless runner so I do believe some sort of scoring system would work out for the game. With that said I do think you created a solid foundation that only needs some slight adjustments, great job!
Thanks for playing and the feedback! The game is not an endless runner, but there is no indication of the end goal (a boss fight) and what to expect either. Initially I envisioned the environment and music would change over time and you would enter a storm cloud. Scoring system could also be a thing and others have suggested that as well.
Hi! Definitely art & animations are really nice! Maybe more different enemies & weapons could help to bring some more variety in my opinion. Also some goal to achieve.
Love the graphics! Good base to build upon.
Wished the game was faster, more action. Took way too long to get to the boss at that pace. I was getting bored and actually wondering if there was a boss or if it was just infinite.
Good effort nonetheless! Cheers!
The graphics are nice, wish the game was a little faster and harder though.
Fun game! I really like the aesthetic of the game. It would be even better with some music to match the look of the game.
Nice game, rated it. Pls check out my game if you don't mind - https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-7/rate/1418152
very cool and cute graphics, gives me some neverending story vibes, would have liked a score counter!
