Who is that guy walking around in the middle of the night on the buildings with his pajamas? That's our friendly neighbor sleepyhead. Sleepyhead is such a heavy sleeper, did I mention he is also a sleepwalker? Walking on the buildings can be dangerous when you are not aware of your surroundings. Don't let sleepyhead hurt himself by falling or any other way. You can place various items in your inventory to help sleepyhead out.Have fun and sweet dreams.

It's fun to use the springs

If it is an original one I really liked the idea. But it is really annoying when we don't have any access to menu when game starts (or I couldn't find any). Also it is boring to only use planks, maybe some street animals can be in our way, we can use food, water or other things to clear our way.

@muftusaruman It was made in 3 days, we couldn't add more content to it in that time. Also game play is important then ui at this short amount of time. Thanks

I really enjoyed the game. I believe it has a lot of potential for growth, similar to the bridge construction games. You can even add a puzzle element by limiting the number of items available to force the player to use tricky combinations to complete the level.

@milksheikh Yeah we intented to do that, but we didn't had enough time. We planned so many puzzles, maybe we'll add them in the future :smirk:

This is pretty good! It plays well and looks amazing! The actual gameplay has been done many times before, so i can't say its innovative.

@barwani Yeah we tought about idea a lot, we couldn't come up with something unique. But it's not the point I guess. If we made it, it's already unique. Everybody does things differently. Anyways, thank you for playing!

Good game. Like the idea that he is a sleepwalker. Thought the pace was a little too slow, so as the music. But guess i went pretty far. Nice save. Good game!

Really cool game! This guy needs to start locking his doors at night

@jonrei I'll tell him :smile:

Graphics look nice and the atmosphere and level design is great. Nice Job!

Great execution of a classic genre. I would have liked the game to move a bit fast, maybe slowing down right before an obstacle to let the player place a plank/spring? Great work either way.

@sacredbacon Thank you! There were designed at last hours tho :smile:

@gal-afik Yeah it was boring sometimes. We should've added checkpoints or some kind of skipping like what you said. Thanks for the review :smiley:

Heyo VaizAragorn! Remember me? Anyways, you did a good job with your game. I would say the only problem will be on the collisions. I could see a lot of potential in this game!

It would be nice if there was a way to speed up the game a bit so there wasnt so much down time, but otherwise, a great implementation of a solid idea!

@erebus Thank you, I hope you enjoyed it!
🎤 VaizAragorn
23. Apr 2020 · 21:41 UTC
@grizzliusmaximus Ofcourse I do, I already fixed the colliders tho, hope it'll be better for future players.
🎤 VaizAragorn
23. Apr 2020 · 21:42 UTC
@gentoogames Yeah, even I gor bored while testing the levels. But we didn't have enough time to implement something like that. Maybe in the future :)

We streamed your game with Danae: [link to Twitch VOD](https://www.twitch.tv/videos/598538752?t=04h50m19s) (approximate timestamp)

Nice game! The biggest problem I can remember is the hitboxes were a bit unforgiving. Making the guy walk over a set of bars always seemed like a close call. Having a way to pan the camera would prevent some "leap of faith"-type artificial difficulty.
🎤 VaizAragorn
24. Apr 2020 · 22:58 UTC
Thanks for the stream @aurel300 We fixed the hitboxes after that, it was so unforgiving that even we had bad times on it. We will improve it further, first step is camera I think.

I like the concept and how easy it is to get into it. One thing that wished was better is the camera. By improving the camera it would be easier for the player to see a little bit better what's ahead. Other than that I think it's a pretty good entry, good job!
🎤 VaizAragorn
25. Apr 2020 · 22:41 UTC
@yxmx-rsx Yeah the camera was just lerped following with offset nothing more, it needs to be more sophisticated, like to be able to see further or smth. I'll try that, thanks for the review!

That was great! The night scene is really pretty, can almost feel that chill in the air! 💙 The music is very fitting and overall it somehow managed to feel very relaxing despite the stressfulness of trying to keep the sleepwalker alive. 😅 Great work!
