How does your game meet GBJam's theme?
It is a game about somebody finding a haunted handheld game console and getting nightmares after ignoring it instead of playing on it. Nightmares are spooky!

I enjoyed playing your entry.  Every attempt at sleep was a surprise.  It's impressive how many little mini games you were able to add.  The music and writing gave the game a dark intensity and suspense.  I wasn't always sure what I was doing (especially with the giant scary head?), but I had fun and I feel hydrated :)

Thanks! Also, don't worry, you probably got through the scary head sequence exactly as intended. Confusion on what to do is actually part of the intended reaction from the player there. (On an unrelated note, I need to actually sit down and play other people's games in the Jam when I get a chance.. a lot of them seem neat and I wanna try to play as many as possible starting as soon as possible!)
