That was a lot of fun! The experience was honestly pretty exhilarating for the simple gameplay. It was very fun to get an understanding of what kind of combinations you could make and what kind of stuff would come out of them. The sprites do a good job of being eerily frightening too! The fact that most of them are smiling but dangerously red put me on edge, and when I finally decided to try putting 4 reds together, I was terrified. Great space management crafting experience haha.
Wow I loved the strangely cute protagonist and the whimsical vibe. I think you did a great job on the aesthetic.
The hitboxes of the dreams were very unwieldy. In particular, there was an instance in which I tried to pick up a dream orb stuck in a dream. Holding onto the dream orb, I too became stuck and had to release it. It'd be nice if this awkward interaction wasn't possible.
As a small note, the noisy white text border/chat bubble effect wasn't great to look at.
Like the art, good gameplay to, great job
Very good game, it feels very cozy. It was pretty fun creating nightmares only to dodge them
Cool take on the theme.
Congratulations on a good entry :thumbsup_tone1:
:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:
Had a really good time playing it. I especially loved how the music changes based on the dreams/nightmares you create. See me playing here: https://youtu.be/eOq1wb0j7d0

Really love the trippy visuals, somehow both cute/wholesome and creepy at the same time.
It's really cute, well done ^^
Really strong mood here. I love the dream visuals popping up, and it's cute how they get in the way and build up an obstacle course for dodging nightmares.
Super nice :) Relaxing at first, and then a bit more tense as several nightmares start chasing you ^^'
The art is great, especially the nightmares, sound is cool too!
I like both the music and the graphics. I found the gameplay idea a bit confusing, but it was fun to make dreams and nightmares. Overall a good combo game.
It's great hearing the feedback so far, and gives me so many ideas of things I could do to improve this project, and future ones, in how I present the game and the mechanics.
@rialgar Thank you so much for sharing that video. Seeing the process of checking out the game and testing how it worked meant a ton!
Nice game, the music creates a nice atmosphere. I found that sometimes, the orbs didn't combine as I was expecting. But well done on your entry.
realy nice game. i would say this got some potential. gj :dog: :dog: i like the design on the player character. the only thing i would see more of is when a nightmare is born. a nightmare should be dangerious in my mind, so solving a bad dream it would be a fun addition,
Wasn't aware that I had to put the orbs together to create dreams and nightmares the first time I played and 'Esc' automatically goes to end screen, maybe it would be nice to have that as an option is 'Esc' was clicked. Visuals were great and the game other all was very aesthetically pleasing, great job! Gives me a less creepy Binding of Issac vibe.
one of the most charismatic characters in this ld jam, the choice of colors is nice too and the aesthetic has a lot of the halloween vibe to it, just a bit more fun
This has some great vibes and mood too it! In general this is a really strong submission! I love the character and art style and I love the central mechanic of combining the orbs to make dreams.
I would love if there was a way to decrease the meters though? Maybe there was but it wasn't obvious if so.
Really clever theme. I like the idea of combining the dreams and nightmares together.
Great music and art combo that turned the game into a mystical little experience. I loved how each nightmare creation gave me a healthy dose of involuntary creeps. Well done!
Just curious, are you a fellow lucid dreamer?
Very cute game :) Nice idea!
First impressions: I didn't find there much of a game here to be honest other than messing around with the different combinations of dreams and nightmares, but the art is very nice, and the music helps to establish a mood that's both peaceful and unsettling at the same time. I may have totally missed out on something re: the game play, but interested to know if there'll be features added later because it's definitely memorable and unique.
This is really cozy. Not much gameplay but I enjoyed seeing the different kinds of dreams that you could create.
Милая игра с хорошей атмосферой :з
Very relaxing and fun! Sometimes the character is facing towards a different direction from where he's moving thou.
Nice!
Cool game and idea. Only thing i wish that you could rotate while holding orbs
