Cool idea and concept. Drawing the map as you go and building up your map of the world is a cool idea, but it didn't see to work? Or maybe it needed to be super accurate, I was more 'do it fast and rough' because of the time limit. Even though you keep the map between runs, I still wanted to try and do it fast, since that feels like what the game wants you to do.

Definitely has potential though, a post jam version could be interesting! Good job!

I really like the concept. Sketching out your dreams is a cool idea. The whole design gives me a feel of some older adventure games and RPG's which is really cool.

I have a couple of isses though. The drawing mechanic itself seemed to fail to register when I had drawn out some of the rooms. I'd map out the walls and fill them in but the room would not turn green. I'd erase the edges so that it was perfectly lined up with the walls and it still wouldn't go green. Then I'd have to erase the entire drawing, do it again and then it would finally turn green even if my second attempt is messier than the first. I couldn't quite figure it out. I think maybe the reason is that it also fills in areas outside of the game window and if those are filled in too much then it won't turn green. I dunno, that's all I could think of really as to why this issue often occurred . Either way it can get quite frustrating when you're mapping out a room thats far away from the starting point and this issue occurs.

I also found the combat a bit finicky. Specifically with the moving enemies. It seemed that no matter how hard I tried I just could not defeat the moving enemies without taking damage. This might be just me being bad at the game but it was something that I just struggled with.

This was really cool though and you captured the dreamlike atmosphere really well. Mapping out the rooms is a really nice mechanic, I just wish it didn't have that issue of not detecting a room when it is fully mapped.

I think this an interesting idea but somehow the map did show at 0% after I'd drawn something, I also think some on-screen prompts would have been helpful - but these are all minor improvements, it's great to see you've done something unique with the theme, good job

I liked the concept, but unluckily I feel the actual gameplay doesn't clashes with implementation of theme, and which makes it feel 60 seconds time limit is slapped on top of the game, and makes the limit more of annoying nuisance. If you don't mind the time limit, I like the game mechanic and idea otherwise.

Controlling player and fighting enemies was fine. But when you are close to window border, it is hard to aim towards border, as you can easily misclick and go out of game. This could be fixed making attack key other than mouse-click, so you don't need worry about keeping mouse inside game window when fighting enemies.

Back to theme implementation, instead 60 seconds time limit visiting dream world, I would have implemented theme somehow else. Like you can stay in one room for 60 seconds before it becomes unstable - dream starts to shatter. Which is also why you try draw them, make recollections what your dream was.

Edit. also though it was good to tell 10 seconds passing with sound effect, I think more pleasant sound could have been made as you hear it repeatly ^^"

Very cool concept!

I love the concept; the "draw your own map" idea reminds me of oldschool RPGs / adventure games where you had to literally do just that. The graphics are fitting, and the music has a very dreamlike feel to it. I'm also thankful the map drawing data saves automatically and reloads on later playthroughs. Overall a great experience.

That said, I am confused as to the goal; the description says you have to draw each room onto the map, and the room will turn green on the map/drawing mode when you do so. I've tried tracing the outer walls, as well as coloring in the entire wall, but I can't get any rooms to turn green and my map progress is at 0%. What am I doing wrong?

Neat game. I included it in my GM48: Sixty Seconds compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/huP5ApnGTE0

I enjoyed it! It was a really clean game, and a really cool idea. I like how when you get hurt by an enemy, you get ten seconds less to play. similar to how when ou are really dreaming, a nightmare will wake you up. that was a nice, subtle touch.

This game is awesome, I love the style of it with the pencil being a weapon and the cool backgrounds. The combat and camera work is spot on

Really fun!! I don't know if it was just me, but my map progress didn't update? I also would have loved if your progress drawing the map reflected something about how your room looks, like having a version of the map there, but nevertheless the concept was really cute

Kinda difficult to do all the drawing, but a fun game nonetheless
