This was a really interesting concept, I'd love to see it taken further! I love the idea of having to fight through a group of random monsters, particularly with all the variety there could be e.g. with different strengths or weaknesses, attack patterns etc. - there's a lot of potential with that, so well done for coming up with the initial idea! The levelling system was a good addition as well, it made progression feel a lot more satisfying and it was always fun to unlock a new attack. The art was also well made, particularly using the pink colour palette, and I loved the spritework for each of the dream creatures. The ending artwork was great to see as well! Well done on this, keep up the good work!

Use of the limitation
Every run the player receives a different dream creature. This dream creature also receives a different set of unlockable abilities every run. I wanted to give the player the possibility to beat the game with different characters and abilities. I really like this feeling of discovering new content every time.

Jump! Don't fall asleepCool idea! I think the attack buttons needed a bit more feedback, but the idea of getting a new creature each time is interesting. There seems to be a lot of variance between the dream creatures, and the art is nice. Also, attacks could have a little description as well, because it was a little difficult to understand what each of them did.
This concept could certainly be expanded, though, good job!

Platformia Dreamin'Very nice art and challenging gameplay! The lack of music and sound effects is a shame, but it's still very fun

Escape the Nightmareclearly this is lacking some things but it was a good start nonetheless. Check out my review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission

Dream DungeonsReally nice art and good idea, I think that the randomness is really good on the characters, this could be expanded on in the future with different levels etc but I think for the time in the jam this is really good

Dream DungeonsManaged to clear after about 5 triess :)
Interesting concept~ but I kinda wished there was a way to heal (unless I'm missing something XD)
Maybe enemies could have a chance to drop random loots such as potions & items that grant lifesteal :o
I like the art too (especially the one for the Cat Witch) :)

Holy SheepI like the concept and art but the gameplay seemed lacking, just clicking the new attacks. Maybe I missed a tutorial?
