People are already gamifying everything, so why not gamify your dreams aswell!

As a person who researched a lot about dreams, I like the concept. The atmosphere was also epic.

Intense mood. Not sure how to complete some of the tasks successfully.

You have to play it a couple of times until you know what you are supposed to do in each stage.
The overall design and the mood set by the music are excellent.

This probably has one of the most polished UIs of any game jam game I've ever played! I agree with CodeForJoyCaro I have no idea how to complete many of the game, it took me ages for example to realise that I was lookig for the correct spelling of deeper on the door. I must say though you've done a great job to do all this in 48 hours, really inspirational great job.

Great audio! I struggled with the "Clear the Sky" minigame but all the other ones felt pretty good.

I really like the concept of microgames linked to "dream phases". Audio is awesome and the overall mood works very well.
A timer would be very welcome in this type of game.
Great game :)

This is one of the more fun games I played!
The game reminds me of similar games Warioware.
I also liked the extra details (like the clounds looking at the cursor).
The audio is great and fits with the style of the game.
The graphics look nice and pretty.
But I also have some suggestions:

For example, I felt like "Clear the sky" was too fast in terms of time, maybe make it longer
I couldn't really understand how to do the spin minigame since I was spinning the mouse cursor and It counted as a fail.
I wish I could turn off the Post-Processing (PP) since I had a harder time completing the minigames.

Overall, Great game

Wow that got intense! Some of the tasks I was not sure what to do. Gread mood, it felt like colourtherapy :)

A really nice entry, very atmospheric! I like how you really went with a certain feel, and then pulled through with both the audio and the visuals.

I would've liked the levels to last a bit longer, so you could better figure out how the task works, instead of having to start over.

But irregardless of that, I really enjoyed playing it! :D

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! We're happy the game pleases you! And thanks for the valuable feedback, it helps us make better games in the long run :)

We had a lot of fun making the game and it's cool seeing people enjoying it.

Reminds me of "The Impossible Quiz", something I could sit at for hours trying over and over, the inclusion of a scoreboard was a great idea.

Very nice wario ware like game, with solid minimalistic art style and carefully produced sound scape. The majority of minigames are simple enough to understand at a glimpse how to "solve" them, but I had problems in a couple of them ("Kill the fun" comes to mind, the different faces were confusing), but this was rarely the case. Also the amount of minigames is impressive. To point something out, I think the minigames weren't very dream related, making a less cohesive theming of the game. Keep the good work!

I really liked that game, funny Wario-ware like. I didn't think I would find one in jam, but it's pretty well done and there's quite a few minigames. Special mention to the voices who made me chuckle ^^

One of the best games i've encountered.
Graphics are gorgeous and sounds are funny.
I only had issues with doors minigame to go "deeper". I've always failed dunno why.
Very solid entry.

I love these mini-game filled games and I think you did an incredible job. This has been one of my favorite Jam games. Great attention to detail, everything from the main menu to the audio was great.

you have distilled the spirit of every clickbased minigame on the web. Congrats!

Such a nice mood! Love everything that's going both visuals and audio-wise. I love Wario Ware-like games so this really hit the spot! My only complaint would be that I had trouble understanding some of the minigames (like the temperature set thingy) but I'd say that's part of the charm of this kind of experience! :smile: Good job!

I tried to play the HTML version of the game, whose arts are gorgeous and musics seems great too but...

I had some issues (on Firefox); it seems unplayable and with a pink triangle stuck on the screen...

![Screenshot from 2021-04-29 12-12-01.png](///raw/b6f/e2/z/4188b.png)

It is a bug? Or am I mistaking something?

@ifidamas yeah it looks like a bug, firefox is known to behave weirdly with Unity WebGL sadly...

One of my favorite game so far, the game is simple but works exceptionnaly well, I took a lot of fun playing it :D Also all of the assets are excellents (and I'm sure that Fabien Torez and Dona le sang would be glad to know they are part of it), as well as the sound design! Exceptionnal work from your team, I'm amazed :D
