That's the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. 🥺

Nice little gameplay loop, cool you got a shop up, clicking away was satisfying. Giving the player control to rotate the camera would alleviate some issues there. Good graphical fidelity achieved. Love the intro dancing.

I tried to play but my pc hates me. I watched the video and rated based on that. Can't give any feedback yet but will on Monday, getting an upgrade so will come back and update this.
It looks awesome and I can't wait. :P

I really like your game. She looks like a finished MVP. You can increase the content and release the game. Congratulations!

Thank you! And you are right, I got most of what I wanted done, but there were a few more ideas I'm considering implementing if I dive back in in to it.

Great game, I liked different mechanics between world. Graphics were well polished as well.

Well done! :)

Quest Of The Lost Hound

Thanks bro, I appreciate you playing it! Loved your game as well! I think I need to make a game myself, where a guy has to go and rescue his dog :)

Very well polished! Everything from the trace effect in the dancing menu to the very detailed dream landscape, everything is insanely well made. Plus I like that you made the game more fun by keeping us in the dream longer than the day, cuz many developers make it equal (like making night as long as day) and it makes the less fun part a chore to wait through. Pretty fun and extremely well made overall!

Thanks homie! I appreciate you taking the time to play it. Your game was a ton of fun as well!

And I'm glad you noticed that I made the nights longer :) When I was developing it, my original idea was for them to be equal (thinking we normally spend about 8 hours sleeping and working each day) but I also enjoyed mining the crystals more, and while debugging I lengthened the dream time once, and realized I liked it more so it stayed like that. I appreciate the kind words!
