Use of the limitation
We created a set of dungeon themes (Dreamy, Forest, Ocean, Rainbow and Sweet) which all start off as nightmare rooms, you have to clear out the rooms to restore the theme of the dream to them. The dungeons are randomly generated as well as the enemies within the dungeons, in the final boss room the child is randomly generated from a set of features to represent the child having the nightmare.

A nice concept! Took a bit long to long (downloadable version), but i think that my slow PC's problem... But a very fun game :)

Developer

Yeah there is an issue on the downloadable version for some reason that makes levels take ages :( Thanks for playing!

Cool concept, turning enemies to friends with heart beams.  I also didn't expect there to be an upgrade shop!  I liked it!

I loved the variety in this game, it was awesome to see different levels and music for each playthrough, so that was a great use of the limitation! The main gameplay was also great, I loved the fact each dungeon was different, and the different hats really added to the replayability too, so that was a good feature to have added! The only bug I encountered was that if you clicked fast enough (i.e. fast enough to make your finger hurt) then you could shoot the boss out of bounds, softlocking you since it couldn't be killed - though that's less of a problem of the game than it is of my desire to shoot lots of bullets! Besides, I loved the graphics, particularly how the colour palette changed from nightmare to normal, and the menu art was very well done too - it gave the game personality - so nice work on that! It was a fun game overall, so good job on making it!

Thanks so much for so much feedback! I wanna take this game further so it really helps out, thanks for playing!!

That's a lot of work in visuals and music, it's nice

but I couldn't get any coins and after killing the boss and clearing everything - there was no end and no way to die.

also doors lead to the wrong places sometimes. Confusing

But with this fixes, I think it will be a great game!

Developer

Sounds like you've maybe ran into one of the bugs! Will be fixed soon! Thanks for playing :)

Aww, so cute, everyone just wants a bit of love :D Although it was a bit hard for me in some dungeons. Also didn't get to the bosses as well.

visuals and audio are great, the game design isnt quite there. Spawns are a serious problem, shop mechanic is great idea though i never got a chance to use it as i was given so many bad spawns and died instantly.

Developer(+1)

Yep I am hoping to fix that soon! It was a bad flaw in the built version unfortunately

Submitted(+1)

there is always one issue missed, its not a jam without one lol.

Submitted

Awesome art and music! The only problem is that as soon as you enter a room you're instantly surrounded by many enemies before you can even look at what's going on, you should've added some sort of cooldown for enemy activation, or at least let the player prepare for what's coming. Also being able to shoot without cooldown is a bit overpowered, but overall very nice game!

Developer

I think adding the timer for the enemies to notice the player will definitely help, unfortunately i could't fix it in time for submission but I am hoping to fix it in the future. Thanks for playing ! :)

Submitted

Haha im being bullied by other doll and spider,  nice art and music <3

Submitted(+1)

I love it! I love the concept and the gameplay! I do wish that the doorways locked after entering a room, but otherwise incredible. Great work!

Developer(+1)

Yeah I reckon a timer on them so you can't instantly teleport back would have been a good idea! I wanna try fix that :) Thanks for the feedback

Submitted(+1)

Nice concept, agree that the two-tone characters were done well. Almost missed the doors and was trying to figure out what to do next :D

Developer

Haha I wanna try make the doors work a bit better in the future! Thanks for playing!

Submitted

The changes in music were great and the two-state enemies were nicely rendered.  I loved the color choice and variant themes, it's an interesting take on the limitation. You even pulled off a boss and some light narrative elements too. Nice work!

Thank you so much!

Overall game and the concept were great. It's just the sound effects were too loud and I think needs a little bit of rework other than that music was great. Keep up the good work!

Submitted(+1)

Oh sh*t! As soon as the game started a gang of enemies attacked me LMAO
Cute pixel art and awesome music!

Developer

Thank you! The enemies aren't meant to spawn at the player I need to fix that x3

Submitted(+1)

Really good looking game, the whole heart concept is so cute, but the game is much harder than it looks.....Great job!

Developer

Hehe thank you!

Submitted(+1)

Good game, kind of a issac like gameplay, I love the asthetic, fought a dino boss X) 10/10 ! the idea of changing the nighmares into dream is really in the theme :D

Developer(+1)

Awh I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much ! <3

Submitted(+1)

I would never imagined a teddy bear in a dungeon haha, but this is very well executed. Very good entry!

Developer

Awh thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

Good game! ^^

Developer(+1)

Thank you!!!

I like the concept of turning the enemies into non-nightmares! Also how the music changed to go along with that. I hope in the future there's a prompt to go in the doorways because I kept accidentally going in them and wondering what was happening. Really cool game though!

Developer

Yeah for sure need to fix that! Thank you for playing!
