I think the Dreamer like Super Mario Bros, at least SMB2 and SMW. =)
I defeated the Eye. I love the traffic cones in the WIP area.
I have one nitpick: My personal preference is never tell the player not to do something and expect them to do so anyway. Having the option "No" made me believe I might be missing something, but no, it's just a gag.
...and one minor suggestion: Have the dialogue change when 1) you get all 8 orbs and 2) you defeat the Eye.
An enjoyable game. I did start to get a little lost though, so I suppose a map would come in handy too.
