Short description of the game
The game is based on a dream I had as a kid, involving a fairy who stole heads instead of teeth.

Theme
The theme missing, is mainly shown through the missing heads, but also in some other small ways.

Development Process
I went solo for this jam, everything was done by me. My only issue was I gave myself too much work for one person. I worked crazy hours on this. Didn't consider the stress it would put me under. Unfortunately this lead to the game being pretty far from how I envisioned it. However as a first year in game design, it was good experience for me.

Love the art and music in this game! The design of all the characters looks amazing, but I especially like the first person you meet as they kind of look like a toothbrush. Using inspiration from a dream you had as a child is such a great idea. Though a dream about head stealing fairies sounds terrifying.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

(And yes the dream was terrifying. That's how I still remember it like 15 years later haha. It was much more gruesome in the dream too)
