nice art ! simple and efficient
The things appearing on the screen moving left to right are a great idea, they are very distracting and make the game more difficult, I really love it. Would like to see a city or something in the background drawn like the stickmen in the introduction screen with some animations. Overall a fun game to play, great job!
The creepy noises actually add a whole other layer of creepiness. The particles are pretty well done too. Most importantly the balancing feels very very nice.
Quick question: is there an ending somewhere? I feel like there is some narrative behind this, but I cannot understand if there is a way to unlock any ending, aside from moving up and down the wire for enough time. Anyway, I loved the creepy, unsettling music and the minimalistic tone. Theme fulfilled to a T.
Thanks a lot everyone!
@der-mondhase Thanks! I'm afraid the stick guy cannot wake up.
Nicely put together! I liked the audio, especially the drone in the background helped sell the dreaming aspect. I wish though that the game was either an endless runner (meaning the birds/distractions are in random order giving a lot of replayability) or had an ending.
Looks pretty good, and the atmosphere is really nice! However, it feels like there should be something at the end, not just a rinse and repeat. Or if there were a couple different levels, but it looked like it was all the same level. It would make a really good game with a bit of story and some variation.
very interesting and original game. The graphics are simple but they look perfect, you don't need much more. I liked it.
Very nice game, did not figure out how to wake up, but I've had fun playing ♥

very interesting concept and I definitely felt sleepy yet scared (?) while playing it so I think you emulated the having-a-bad-dream feeling well. The circus and phone noises are super effective in adding creepiness and distraction.
Couldn't wake up but got to experience the eerie mood. I count that as a win
the music is great for the type of game, giving it a creepy vibe. I also liked the "story" of the game, the fact that it's a weird, and apparently a not very nice one. It gets a bit repetitive though, I would suggest adding maybe more animations, or things that distract you, as well as a bit more color.
Strange game! I tried everything I could think of to wake up. Is it even possible?
This was a really cool and interesting game. The graphics and music really created that slightly creepy atmosphere that I was not expecting! I enjoyed when the new animations came in and new music that gave it variation but I think I would have liked to see more of it as some people have said already. However, it is very well put together and polished so I guess you may have needed to sacrifice some of that polish to add in more content with the time constraint so still really impressive! Especially if it was a one person job! Congrats on a really cool game with an great atmosphere!
Great atmosphere and intriguing concept! I didn't find any way to wake up though. :(
Nicely Done!
I felt the dreaming experience! I would love to see the character wake up when falling down :)
Walking by the voltage lines, hey, that's an intriguing dreaming! I really liked the concept, the physics and the sound design. With more narrative, quite promising.
