Lore: This is Sleepy Time, a time where your little sister gets her well deserved rest; but unfortunately she has no toys with her, so she will have nightmares, bad nightmares. The house gets strange when she has nightmares, it fills with monsters and you have no way to kill 'em, you can just try to keep them away. This will end only when you'll bring all her toys back. That and only that will stop the connection between the real world and her nightmares' one.

Info: Hello everybody, SkyWolf here, i wanted to try to partecipate in a jam with a 2 men team and i decided this was the time; i asked my good friend Eclipse to jump on board with me, and he gladly accepted. Even though we're only able to join the jam because we've worked in team; we've self-imposed all the other rules on us, including but not limited to, the time limit of 48h. All the process has been streamed on http://twitch.tv/akaSkyWolf (http://www.twitch.tv/akaskywolf/c/4980786).
You can also find us on Twitter @akaSkyWolf and @WaveringRadiant, come and follow us. We hope you'll enjoy our game! Take care and keep jammin'!
PS: we advise you to use a 16:9 resolution, we did screw up a little with 4:3 >_> sorry about that. PPS: Mac and Linux builds aren't tested, please confirm if they work or not. Thanks a lot.

That art style is really really awesome but I think it sorta looses it's touch with objects that are closer to the camera and you can see it's 2D-ness.
also I think some spooky ambient sounds are the only thing the game needs to really solidify that creepy 'walking around the house at night' feeling.
So moody! The monsters move too damn fast for me! I keep getting killed. :D Mixing 2D and 3D was a weird choice but I didn't let that bother me that much. Overall a really nice idea and the gameplay worked very smoothly. :)
This is way harder than I thought it would be =D With a bit of spooky ambience and some way to run from the spooky things this would hit the jackpot for me =)
Absolutely love the style of this game. The 2D sprites in a 3D environment works really well in this case. I especially like the shadows. Was not expecting the monsters, so that made me jump off my chair a little bit. Everything but the music, which is non-existant, seems pretty polished. Great work, guys!
Holy shit this thing is terrifying... really scary. I loved the atmosphere, sfx, and mostly the graphics. It felt like some enemies were too fast and made the game a bit unfair, but overall very good. Liked it!
yes, sadly we didn't had much time left for tuning the game better and can be a bit unfair sometimes if monsters spawn too close, we had to keep a <48h limit. Glad you liked it, and found it scary :D
Very good graphics and style! The controls were also very easy to learn and the game performed well on my box. I think there is potential for more here and it's good to see what was done in the short time available.
That artwork! It's beautiful! Great submission, although... it did make me a little sad that I could throw a NES around ;) but seriously YOU NEED TO CARRY ON MAKING GAMES!
Super adorable art direction :D, the 2d art was really cute, a great aesthetic all around. The only thing is gameplay wise I wish you had some way of getting a head start before the enemies, always felt like I took damage before I could even see them let alone try and get behind furniture to dodge them, but still had fun with it :)!
Hi there. Lovely artwork, shadows, gameplay. I could not work out how to attack the meanies after 'dark'... some instructions about what to do would have been appreciated... or an obvious example as a tutorial room perhaps. Nice sounds. Good job overall!
Hi mrexcessive! You cannot hurt them but you can throw objects at them to temporarily stun them so use all the furniture at your advantage! You just have to survive until the nightmare phase is gone :)
Seems pretty cool, but the movement is slow and I lost twice. The fact it's randomly generated (and the second time I had to walk quite a distance to get a plane) doesn't help. Plus, I had a lot of trouble entering the door. Maybe a little more forgiving...? ^^"

Lots of stars from here.
The dark theme coupled with harmless objects is super creepy - much creepier than if you'd tried to have horror and blood and stuff :)
Very cool graphics, though.
There is a glitch where if you walk through a door as it is changing you become stuck and have to restart.
