Dream Dog Dilemma is an action/puzzle game made for the Nintendo NES!
You were asked to participate in an experiment by a scientist that seemed
slightly off. He offered to let you play with his puppy however, and it was
just two minutes, so you put on the visor.
You immediately find yourself in a new mysterious world, with no way to
escape. A few days pass, and you realize this experiment may not end on
it's own. It's up to you to explore this world and find a way home!
You didn't even get to play meet the puppy yet!
This is another somewhat mindless fun game - I hope it's as fun to play
as it was to make!
NOTE: If you get stuck, you can restart from the last checkpoint in the start menu. (Please let me know so I can fix it though!)
The web-based emulator isn't that good. It has a bit of trouble with choppy sound, and other minor issues.
If you know how, please download the ROM and play it on an NES emulator, such as Mesen or FCEUX.
A Button (Z): Interact
Directional Pad (Arrow Keys): Move
Start (Enter): Pause
- Fix level bug causing the player to die on respawn near the 3 key door (Collapsible tiles added where they shouldn't have been)
This was built using nes-starter-kit - an open source game building toolkit for the NES! I maintain it actively, so please give it a shot.
I actively support it - don't be afraid to reach out if you have questions or thoughts!

Past the close of the competition I probably won’t be checking comments on this page much. However, feel free to reach out to me on Twitter about it! If I do anything with this in the future I’ll be sure to share there too. Thanks for stopping by.
I did a time lapse video of my development process (just the emulator) if that’s your kind of thing. Check it out
As usual, yep!

Does it really work on the NES?
As usual, yep!
