Awww, such a cute short game! Graphic is super duper cute, especially those skelly. Hope the witch can have a nice deep slumber

Pretty fun game! The art and music are nice and compliment the gameplay really well. One thing that felt a bit off was the lack of anticipation frames on enemies damaging you as it didn't feel like it had enough weight to the action. The way the map was set up though was great with the winding rooms that make you feel like you can get lost. Was easy to learn how to play and was a nice short experience.

Really fun game. Loved exploring a bit and the art/music is really neat!

This game has a really cute aesthetic, I love the art you've made for this! I felt the movement was pretty floaty and the enemies were pushovers.

It was a lovely game to play. For some reason at first I was expecting there to be some kind of a spell attack action (given you are a witch and all), but was pleasantly surprised that it's a non violent game and you just harvest all those glowy things without hurting any skeletons in the process. It's quite an interesting idea - just running and dodging the opponents, feels almost like speedrunning where you normally don't want to be slowed down by combat and just run around and away from everything. I also really appreciate the invincibility frames/opponents pushing you away when you just enter the room so that you can't immediately fail with no time to react. Pretty visuals, fitting audio, nice little game. Although I wish you could pick up multiple glowy items at the same time and have a trail of them behind you, and also finish everything in one go in a true speedrunning fashion.

A nice little timesink, I absolutely love the artstyle and the simple colour palette.

Though I didn't have much trouble with the enemies, I found their random placements upon entering a room a tiny bit frustrating, as they could appear right next to the door I entered, leaving me with little time to react to them. But aside from that, it was a pleasant little game to play :)

awesome looking game. The gameplay gets a bit repetitive after a while but the controls are smooth and the music is great

What a cute little adventure! The art style is very cute, and I love the feeling of the controls as you dodge around enemies. A very nice QOL feature was the dreams staying in the room you died in, which really helped as I learned my way around the mansion. Awesome work!

What an adorable little game! The music was soothing and fit the ambience perfectly, and the pixel art was pretty and charming.

The mood was perfect. Art, sound, everything. I liked the narrative of having to collect the dreams. It was hard but not losing progress when I lost really helped. Nice well rounded game!

A very cool game, I love the graphics and the music. Good job!

It's a good game mechanism, but it's too short for me. I'm excited to continue adding content.

I love the idea of harvesting the dreams and think the art is very cute. I’m new to games so I died a lot but liked that wherever I died the dream character stayed there.

I love the atmosphere of your game. The graphics and music are very nice and adorable. I really like the sound of dreams.

I would be curious to discover the adventures of this cute little witch after her night's sleep! :)

The visuals were fantastic! Not too much of a challenge, but still fun regardless. Great job!

I really liked the graphics and atmosphere in this one! The pixel art was fantastic and was surprised how big the map was -made it a challenge to try to remember how to get back to where I was last. The music really carried the mood too -fun short and simple and really enjoy it! Excellent work! :D
