Maybe I'm being daft here, but I don't see the download link!

zamando 2012-04-24 13:37

That is true, no download link :<

joecool17 2012-04-24 19:41

Whoops... lol, that might be helpful...
I hope you guys don't mind, I fixed a show-stopping bug after the compo ended- the collision wasn't updating when the level changed.

joecool17 2012-04-24 19:55

There we go, DL link added.

Neat idea, you could really do something with switching between worlds to reach different areas. It's too bad it's not very complete. I have to admit, I'm not crazy about the controls....

Nice idea, and mechanics.

Well done.

Couldn't get the game to work, launching from command line failed as well. Failed with "IOError: [Errno2] No such file or directory: 'levels\\home.tmx'"

I like the concept and some of the artwork. It's a pity that it's in a bit of an unfinished state.

Same issue as Mach60KAS. Windows 7. Stack traces is:

For those who can't run it, try simply running the main.py from the root dir. Seems to be working that way for me...

r3ason 2012-04-28 18:10

Well, intrigued enough to install Python in order to play it! Interesting concept, and I really like the idea of going into dreams to "fix" the world. I'd say develop it further! Of note, if you don't hit "W" from where you initially spawn, it appears that you just fall into nothingness in the next level. Thanks!

The game looks nice graphically, but it seems not to work properly.
If pressing w, the level switches to some cloud area where I just fall to nothingness. Otherwise I got stuck in the first level.

joecool17 2012-04-29 16:32

jwolf: Thanks for reporting the error, I'll look into it.

tcstyle: Do you mean you're falling *though* the clouds? Or just falling?

R3ason: That's the plan. :D

Running pure python file didn't work at first (have python installed), was too lazy to investigate. Can I ask for an exe?..

pjarosak 2012-04-30 23:27

Had problems getting it to work. Once I did, it seems like whenever you press up, you fall off the screen. Couldn't figure it out.

xeeko 2012-05-02 10:21

Couldn't get the game to play.

jiddo 2012-05-04 21:51

I like the idea of switching between two worlds like that. The graphics also look nice and the game runs fine on Linux. Kind of an odd (but interesting) resolution/screen size tho. It's a shame that it isn't more complete.

jomomomo 2012-05-07 13:45

No windows, can't play. :-(

robcozzens 2012-05-10 07:27

I would try it if you had a Web or OSX version.

davidwparker 2012-05-10 19:41

Sorry, I don't have Windows.

menderslan 2012-05-10 22:56

The exe file you provided didn't work from the directory it was in. Moving the contents of the dist folder into the root folder (/Dreamworld) allowed me to run the exe.

I liked your graphics and the music (I played it in the background while running your game :P ), but everything else was just incomplete. The controls were strange, collision detection with the walls was definitely off (you could cling to them by holding A/D) and I'm not sure if that was intentional or not. Once I had gotten into the dream world (and was standing in a place that didn't immediately make me fall), holding 'E' did nothing against the slimes, it just ended the game. It's an interesting idea though!

demonpants 2012-05-10 23:27

Looks interesting. Any chance for a Mac version?

tomhunt 2012-05-11 03:51

i got the same error as jwolf when i tried running dist\main.exe from the dist folder, which is how i assume the game is supposed to be run..

drabiter 2012-05-11 05:12

Sorry I don't have python installed :(

jellyfame 2012-05-12 23:13

Cannot play, don't have access to windows.
