Billy’s Nightmare
Abilities & Items, based on child logic
Poison bullies with a pair of Stinky Socks, set creepy toys on fire with a
Magnifying Glass or make them step on some painful Pego Bricks!
And since all abilities use cooldowns instead of ammo, there’s no need
to save them for later.
Tons of unlockable outfits with unique playstyles
Dress up as a Pirate, wielding a flintlock pistol and a cutlass for
close-quarters combat. Or maybe dress up as a Magician and keep your
distance, while your deadly bunnies do the work for you. Every outfit in
Billy’s Nightmare starts with a unique primary ability and a more
powerful secondary ability.
Fast mounts for exploring
Since you can’t run very fast in a nightmare, every outfit in the game
comes with its own mount. As long as no nightmare creatures are around,
Billy can use his mount to travel faster.
Friendly combat pets
Fire-breathing dragons, snowball-throwing yetis and barking dogs. Find
the Pet Shop and adopt a friendly pet that will help Billy in his nightmare.

Kinda like more wholesome Binding of Isaac (Gameplay is closer to Enter The Gungeon, though) where you play as little kid and fight the Boogeyman to help the Sandman.
There are around 7 floors to clear each round, all of them themed around what might scare a 6-8 year old (Living toys, school stuff and scary movies). Challenge ramps up quickly and there are lot of outfits/items that change up your playstyle to some degree.
I'd give it neutral, leaning towards good score.

It's basically just an enter the gungeon clone. Not a bad one, but it's a clone. With a childhood theme.
What I like a lot about this game is that your abilities aren't to be saved for that one special moment. You can spam them all the time. And that's what I didn't like about gungeon. But I reached the third floor on my first try and still didn't find a single new weapon. On the store page they showcase a bunch of weapons, so I guess I just got unlucky.
Every floor has basically the exact same enemies with a reskin. Gungeon has that too, but to a lesser extent.
I'd say that this game is worth €5 at most, considering that enter the gungeon only costs €15 at base price. But even then it goes on sale often and is superior in many ways. This game is competent enough and has some improvements on the dungeon crawler shooter genre. It's competent enough and the art style is nice.
