Didn't beat it, hard platformers is hard for me. But the game looks good and limitation is done well. I like it

Loving the sound and visual. The really simple gameplay really hooks you

Super Dream Hero GuyReally frustrating but ultimately very competent. Check out my review at https://www.twitch.tv/scalphamission

Dream DungeonsI love the music and the art! The character's animation is adorable. I also think the idea of having the physics randomized is a super creative use of the limitation and really makes the runs interesting. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, but the levels switch between 'grass' and 'ice' depending on the amount of friction right? If so, wonderful touch that makes the randomized physics a little less annoying, such as to not make the player unexpectedly go careening off a cliff (which I did anyways :P)
All around great entry!

ObboHi Fox! Super fun gameplay, really tight controls. The platforming itself is really solid and very responsive which makes this a joy to play. Got a little hand cramp due to fighting for space on the keyboard between A and S/F :D but it was worth it. I loved all the crazy little levels and the idea of having to collect them in the correct order to progress collecting ALL of the shards/crystals, super neat idea. Sounds were perfect, not too much and felt very arcadey (I could of played for a lot long) I managed to get the birdy which was really nice too.. would of really enjoyed seeing what other controllable characters you came up with and how they interact with the level!
Super solid little game ( Oh and ps. I loved and hated the slippery snow level... >_< )

DreamLoopI became a bird.... 10/10 would bird again. I really liked this entry. It would be nice to have a running counter of how many gems I have left to collect while I am playing.

Don't Get Catfished!The sound design is great! This game is frustrating but in a totally good way, because of the way it subverts your expectations (it seems that the jump height/gravity/friction are all random, right?). That makes it so fun to play.
Having the time shown at the end makes me want to try again to get a better score, and this is the catch: by trying to go fast you usually fail because you assume the same levels are going to play the same. Really cool entry, great job!

Platformia Dreamin'thanks so much!
it seems that the jump height/gravity/friction are all random, right?
absolutely, yes! i expected most people would go for procedural generation, and wanted to see what would happen if i went for procedural mechanics instead. getting the best time requires getting good luck in the physics rather than good luck in the worldgen :3
Waouh ! Really nice one !! :D I love the go back effect when you change the direction :p

Meadows of DreamlandSmall yet refined. Enjoyed the challenge and got suitably angry when sliding off of higher platforms. Becoming the bird was the best thing to happen to me all morning haha.

Beam DreamerI love the artstyle! For me it was S and F to move and A to jump instead of ZXCV not too sure if that's intentional!

Dream Dungeonsah! that just means you pressed to begin on the player 2 controller. PICO-8 has keys assigned for two controllers by default, and i read only from whichever was used to start the game. with gamepads attached, it makes for a turn-based multiplayer setup. Will add a note to the description indicating that, thanks!
