DREAMWILD

this game is extremely enjoyable to move around in and just chill out. art style is peak, music is peak. try this game you wont regret. also check out this guys other games cuz they are all cool.

Really fun once you get the movement down. Learning to bunnyhop will help immensely.
My main issue is that the game isn't super long, but it's replayable. I hope there will be more content someday!

Rly rly fun game, the the shift in style when you enter the castle is one of my favorite things to show ppl to get their reaction. Also the movement is soooo much fun once you figure out the tech for gaining speed quickly. Also also burning skull is the best item, fight me

i had so much fun playing as my partners sidekick (as this game is challenging for me, a person with no sense of direction)! i would look things up while we played and could not stop myself from saying "wow! this game is so cool and fun and the music slaps??? nice." multiple times throughout our playthroughs. truly a gubbins amongst indie games <3 and then you see just one person made it?! incredible stuff. highly recommend (^:

Probably my least favourite game ever, honestly.
A roguelite movement shooter that's long fallen off the wagon, but demands you stay on it: as inebriated bunny hopping is as tragic of a sight as you'll be trying to figure out your initial footing out here. Do expect to be filtered a bit, as enemy spawns will refuse to let up as you try to get a feel for what in the hell you're doing, and how the hell you're supposed to do it, a bit like a vague, psychedelic Risk of Rain 2. a fun ride once your past the awkward early learning curve. It's also worth saying the majority of the game isn't directly explained, as a lot of mechanics that are integral to beating the game need to discovered for yourself, by talking to NPCs and fooling around for yourself. I can see how this could be a turn off, but the otherworldly themeing is definitely accelerated by how treacherous and unexplored this makes it feel.
That being said, still incredibly frustrating at times. A good chunk of your runs are gonna be lost to what feels like it wasn't your fault whatsoever. It's definitely a challenge that's generally easy to want to repeatedly come back to, but I'm not gonna sit here and tell you getting stuck in a giant pit because you got bad item spawns is at all a fun time.
Also helps that the game is astoundingly pretty, especially in its overworld, rocking this claymation-esque aesthetic that brings the games dreamy feeling to its utmost potential. music is also slapping.

Not really my kind of fun gameplay-wise. I was kind of expecting something a little different when I saw the top-down screenshot. But the aesthetic and vibes from this go hard and it's not particularly difficult or expensive. I say give it a whirl.

Has a bit of a difficulty curve but once you get into it it's extremely fun/addictive if not a little repetitive, perma-death making every near-death moment all the more tense and/or frustrating.. espesially if you're going for a certain fishy achievment... weh, good game though! at least I've been enjoying it, I also might be a bit masochistic, help.
Haven't gotten to beat the final boss yet though, 3rd attempts the charm maybe. (more like 9th, finally beat her, just spam attack her to death once you get to her final stage) It's artstyle and aesthetic is top-notch though, really love the pre-rendered bits too. This game gives me very strong Sonic CD vibes, as while the main gameplay loop has a flaw or two that makes or breaks the game for some people, the rest of the package is just great, especially the music. The story *is* there if you're looking for it, but it's a bit hidden. Leaving the ending and the one secret you can find kinda.. lacking? you can tell the dev wanted to put more into this game, hell there's even a whole area that you can't access no matter what you do underneath the portal leading into the Dreamwilds, like it's just, there, taunting me.
I did love this game in the end, it just, needs something.
