Still Dreaming
"Still Dreaming" is a short adventure into an abstract landscape. The player is faced with a variety of puzzles and hopefully will get a bit of laugh out of trying to escape this weird dream.
The main goal was to create a game with a specific atmosphere that guides the player through a short story giving a glance into a different world.
This is distributed as an executable jar. So all you'll need is JAVA to run this. This works on Windows/Mac. Make sure you turn on the speakers, there are some eerie sounds.
UPDATE: Enhanced post compo version added. I mainly fixed up some visual things and few glitches. More content will be added later.
I'll be porting this over to Android!
Tools used:
- GIMP for all graphics
- REAPER.FM for audio
- LIBGDX as a graphics framework
- ECLIPSE IDE

Awesome game man, keep on deving this one!
And also you don't know when is autopilot and when the controls are yours...no fun here.
@N0_Named_Guy: Unfortunately I couldn't test it on Linux :( I'm working on uploading an applet so that should hopefully work through your browser.

The source is a royal mess.. :P
Nice game with nice graphics (although a bit short, but I'm not really complaining for LD). I didn't quite understand the ending (although I have a feeling there isn't that much to understand).
@marudziik: Yes!! Was waiting for someone to discover that one :)
@grimloom: Longer "full" version is in the plans. I had a design ready for 6 stages but just couldn't pull it off in 48hrs. Glad you enjoyed it.
Meanwhile I polished a few things up and added an enhanced version. Cheers!

Oops I Did It Again.
LOL!
But your sound design is awesome, especially the stereo effects, and the art is top notch, congratulations!
