Great game, I love the tone and art style.
The only problem is that sometimes the bubbles would appear outside of the screen so I wish there was a way too move the camera, other than that the game is great.
Great idea, it's really developed well from the early demo you showed me. The being woken up with the messages is great! Music and art fit very well.
I do think vertical movement could be made easier, it's definitely quite hard to go up when the bubbles are off screen! Also when I run the game the debug/console window appears.
Yeah, vertical movement is definitely something I would tweak going forward.
Thanks so much for the feedback in our swap! It helped bring the chaos down and really allowed the game to shine.
I'm glad that you commented on music and art. I was struggling to write composition for this, so instead I made procedural music. It was definitely a stretch for me, but I think it paid off. I wasn't able to do all the things around art and sound I wanted to, but it's room for improvement if I go back later.
Connecting through dreams was such a lovely idea, and although I definitely enjoyed playing a fair few levels, there are some things that stood out to me that could have been slightly better.
My main issue was that since the dream/thought bubbles appear above people, it is much harder to get to your destination if you start off in the bottom right corner as opposed to when you start off in the top left. You could consider having the camera be slightly off center if you have to move from the bottom to the top to make up for this.
Yes! I realized that as I was doing final checks to make sure the downloads worked well. I kept struggling going up, while going down was a breeze. If I were to fix that, I think I'd have the camera moved to the thought bubble rather than the person would work. I think I would also lead the camera toward the target person.

I liked the game, but the camera was a little frustrating sometimes.

Great job and keep it up!
Yeah, I think cameras are one of those things that are easy to have a basic implementation, but really hard to do very well. Thanks for the feedback!
