Dream On

The game looks good, and sounds are done well, though battle music sounds out of style somehow - it isn't dreamy enough or something ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I had same problem as Baku, game glitched after I went to another room and battle mode started without dreamies. Storywise game had nice build-up, and I think overall you should have left battle sequences aside and concentrated on exploring dreamy world. Otherwise, nice entry :)

Looks beautiful, sounds beautiful, plays... well, it played pretty darn good too, until I hit a glitch. I think I accidentally accepted the computer's quest again without realising (my mouse sometimes double-clicks when I intend to single-click, maybe that was the reason 🤔), fought a round of dreamies in the dream room, then went through the door to the normal room - where a battle started, but no dreamies spawned and it seemed to never end >.<

What a surprise, I hadn't read the description. That was a bucket of fun though I did get caught by one of the glitches. Still super fun and I will try to play again without the walk through.

Kwisarts is synonymous with incredible art and overwhelming amounts of polish, so I can't say anything that hasn't already been said on that.

Wangle made some really good music for this game too though, and the sound effects were great aswell.

The main problem with this potentially jam-winning game though is that it's so full of bugs that you can't ignore them even if you try, which is what I did. I got softlocked multiple times and had the game crash on me when I finally managed to reach the boss (Nice plot twist btw).

I want to stress out that even for your standards this game looked gorgeous though, and that before my immersion got broken it really felt like such a good experience.

I liked the art style and the music, and it was a clever premise for a game jam.

I liked needing to click on the window to get to the boss battle, I had to look for that. It brought me back to the old point and click adventures.

The fights had no sence of challenge for me, and I wound up just standing on one side of the screen and clicking on the other waiting for the points to go up.

It had a nice laid back exploring feel, and the dialogue that was on the screen (I couldn't read parts of it) was funny, and helped make it feel more theme cohesive.

I don't know if this is "the fish crash" but I got this error in the middle of the boss fight:

FATAL ERROR in

for object controller:

I did try to pay the fish 9999 Dream essense but I didn't have more than 100 so I don't think that's the problem.

Edit: I played again and the same problem occored. Wait is that how the game is meant to end?

The game was aesthetically very nice, great art and music! Even knowing about the glitches, I unfortunately fell prey to the endless battle. The story and theme seemed really interesting though, I would love to see more of this game after the jam :)

Really fun and immersive game.
The art and the music are perfect.
The gameplay is also really fun and like in the last game, the humor is on point or should I say on dream... (I'm bad at jokes xD)

It's really a shame that there are this many glitches otherwise it would be nearly perfect!

Really great art and atmosphere as always Kwis. Shame about the bugs but at least they are fairly easy to avoid once you know what to look out for. The lighting effects are nice and fish animation sticks out as looking interesting. It's a bit odd that the character doesn't have a walk animation when moving directly up and down but I'm guessing that's just a small oversight.

Great music by WangleLine, the ambient/calm track was nice and the sound effects were all well done, with nice details such as the tapping of a keyboard for the PC "voice" sound. However I think the battle loop, while it sounds good in general, could have been a little longer. It gets a little bit repetitive when you have to fight three times in a row collecting essence.

Gameplay is fairly simple but not at all bad, it feels good to control.

I would say that the use of theme while not the most interesting gets a pass, the companion is cute. (the dream sheep enemies were really cute ha.)

The art, atmosphere, story aspects (top marks for Immersion there) and music all flow together nicely. Together they really make it feel like a polished game even if the stability suffered a bit, so great job.

I have the same advice than the others and i also got trapped in an endless loop. However, if you make a post gamejam update I will play it again. The art and music are really cool :)

I saw that you were pretty unhappy with how the game ended up over on discord. But despite the bugs this is a really great experience. Art and music were top notch. Story was engaging and I wanted to see were it went. Unfortunately I ended up in the loop. If you plan on doing a post gm48 update I'd love to try it again! Be proud of it my friend :)

I think I got caught in one of those endless loops killing the sheeps forever :( Fun while it lasted! Beautiful art - and very ambitious action/adventure gameplay!

Might I suggest to steer new players through the glitchy pitfalls, you to provide a walkthrough so we don't accidentally break the game trying to figure out what to do next? :)

Lovely stuff in general though - the animation on the fish (is that procedural and made from several floaty sprites?! or is that just a one sprite very nicely drawn to make it look 3D and floaty?) - yeah and the weird and wonderful premise really drew me in
