Based on Inception, where there are 4 dreams with 4 different rates of time. You must complete each of the four games. Each dream has a different goal you have to complete.

Use 1, 2, 3, and 4 keys to toggle dreams!

1st Dream - Top Left - Avoid puddles to win with up and down keys. Must stay in dream for 30 seconds to win, timer in upper left corner.

2nd Dream - Top Right - The "Avoid Box" will be a certain color. Make sure you aren't on the color the "Avoid Box" says when countdown ends! Use arrow keys to move between colors!

3rd Dream - Bottom Left - Move around the maze, and touch the glowing purple dot to win this dream. Watch out, the dot will change locations occasionally, and you'll need to recollect it! Move your character with arrow keys!

4th Dream - Bottom right - Simply click the target with your mouse to win!

Note, time moves differently in different dreams! Basically, if you’re in a higher dream, time moves faster in lower dreams. If you’re in a lower dream, time moves slower in higher dreams!

Red ring indicates what dream you are in.
Bottom boxes indicate your life and what dream you are in.

Good luck!

Interesting game, won on my second try. Love the concept and the music helps with the whole dream mood.

I am a programmer with no graphic skills... so I am the last one to, but the only thing I can criticize is the graphics. If you had a graphics designer with this great concept and gameplay it would be 5 stars!

4 Stars for Innovation, Fun and Overall.

Well done.

Otomata for the win! :D Great idea, mixing 4 minigames at "the same time". I thought about doing something similar bit it looked like complex, but here it is! Nice work.

Brilliant concept! And good music that helps set the mood. It would be cool to have a visual cue that drew your attention to different dreams, like if the upper left box started flashing when you are getting close to a puddle or something. Congrats on your entry! :)

A little bit counter-intuitive
But a cool concept thouch!
raincole8 Dec 2014, 18:58
Nicely done.
The tempo of background music is too fast.

quite unplayable for me, but a really fun idea! :)
maybe change the game with a mouse click would be better :)

Pew* took me like 10 tries to beat it! I'm still hearing the nightmareish music in my ears! I mean it in a good way, I think you really nailed the theme with this one! The graphics are very rudimentary, but when I was playing that didn't really matter I just wanted to beat the game! :) Good job!

Great game! I love the way the 4 world times played together. Game #2 often finished itself without me ever touching it. Music was nice, graphics could have used to work. Good entry :)

Really unique concept, its a cool way of thinking about the theme, I really liked the multiple rates of time for the different games.

A very nice chaotic game. It had a nice difficulty even for me who is horrible at multitasking.

Hi there. Interesting idea. Couldn't get my head around playing it though, too many things happening at once. Liked the sounds.

I like the idea of 4 minigames at once. You could copy inception even further and have them on different time scales

Interesting idea and decently executed. Graphics could definitely use some work though.

ADHD simulation. Way too hard for me. But it's four games in one jam. Good job :)

Cool idea, struggled with it a bit, but definitely fun. Graphics were a bit of a let down, but other than that, definitely enjoyable.

Wow, really difficult multitasking here, and took me a while to scroll to the left to read the comments. Well, nice game!

Challenging and interesting. I liked it, nicely done.

Very interesting idea and a great challenge. Music is good but graphics could use a little more polish. I'm impressed how fun and fair the game is, since the idea seems like something that only works in theory...but you pulled it off. And in Scratch, no less! Very impressive, great game.
Xanjos18 Dec 2014, 02:24
Pretty interesting concept but really hard. I do like you're playing 4 different levels at the same time though.

4 games compiled in one game makes the theme relevant for this. The game was difficult but it's great to play. Especially for the people who loves to multitask :D

Quite overwhelming having the four games going on at once. None of the games were that deep, I think I'd rather see a concept polished well than 4 concepts half-done. Music was decent, graphics weren't great. Generally passable entry, but it needs a lot of polish. Nice interpreation of the theme.

Really funny concept of game. Not really new but funny anyway!

Fun little set of games. Not fond of the fact that the 4th game must be played last.

People struggled to fit a single game on a single screen, yet you menaged to squeeze 4 of them! because of this - it's one of the most interesting entries. :D
