Very cool, excellent use of coyote time on the edges of the platforms. Loved the whole idea!

I had a hard time with the platforming, but very interesting visuals :D

This game was so interesting! Was a little bit confusing and janky but the atmosphere was amazing and the big scary dude was great

I'm encountered a weird bug with the web build where, after bouncing on the little bounce pad in the second area, and then jumping to the high platform, my game is kicked back to the beginning as though it were restarted. It's done this three times now :(

@breadstick Sorry about that - the web build is broken right now, so it probably feels very random. The download version has the nightmare chasing you, and if he kills you, you wake up back in the starting room. We also didn't have time to differentiate the win/lose, so you end up waking up the exact same way :P

That was a tight platformer, which I like! And the happy part of the dream was quite endearing.

I think the jumping did not give enough margin, though. I felt like jumps were too pixel perfect? I think the stage that starts with three vertical platforms is in which it felt the most.

Good game!

Game intro is very good!

The nightmare guy sure was scary. Really sold the fear factor there. I couldn't get past the second level. I wake up from the dream the momment the nightmare monster attacks few platforms behind me. Though it could be that I wake up if i can't escape the level fast enough before it arrives. Nevertheless, it was a fun game to try out. Keep up the good work!

The atmosphere of this is great. Having the visual style change between 3d, 2.5d, and 2d makes it very jarring.

Pretty nice game

Atmosphere and vibes were good though I think the platforming was a little hard for me personally - though I did manage to get through it.

Really liked the layering of the previous stages in the background - gives a good sense of depth (how apt!).

Thank you for making a short tutorial intro so the player knows they can double jump.

Great job, team!

Interesting concept and good atmosphere. The platforming/time allowed was pretty unforgiving though. Nice one
