Dreamer

I like a lot of things in this game. The history, the atmosphere, the music and the clean and minimalist UI.

Alright. Since this game got an update ,I deleted my old review and I'm gonna make a new one. First things first: The game has a nice unique look that I like a lot. The music is pretty too and is fitting for the short cute story. When I first played the game I ran into an issue I couldn't fix. Meanwhile I also discovered that the game wouldn't save if you quit it. I was very pleased when I saw, that the developer saw my review. The update improved the game and i liked the changes. I played the game again and finished it. You're now able to save your game and load it. I also didn't run into any other issues. I'm happy with the result and for the small price, I can recommend this game.

A game with a good story and a great atmosphere.

First of all, I would definitely recommend this game for it's sweet story, satisfying gameplay, and unique art style. However, a pretty big drawback for me is the system of lives in this game. You only get 5 lives and, as far as I can tell, once those are gone you either have to start the entire game over again or reload from your last checkpoint where you're on your last bit of health and one hit sends you back to the menu. If you're fantastic at platformers then I'm sure you could get through this game no problem. As someone who isn't particularly great, the constant resetting has annoyed me to the point where I'm not sure I'll be finishing this game. I've heard great things about the ending, I just wish it weren't so frustrating to get there...

Dreamer is a magical letter-all pixel-platforming game that we're used to seeing thanks to its mechanics such as a ranged attack, jump, and melee attacks as well as the traversing around the level solving puzzles that are simple but satisfying to complete. All that is tied together with an enduring piano chorus throughout the game, enhancing the atmosphere of this dream-like world we're playing in which is both peaceful and mysterious. This game was a very delightful experience to play through, it even got me tearing up towards the end. I hope everyone else can enjoy this game the same I did. PS: To anyone who wants to fully complete this game it is best to treat your health as one (so 25) when you start.

15' in, I think I can express a judgment on this game already. The mechanics are pretty basilar: move right/left, jump, melee attack (high and low), ranged attack, shield. I didn't like the fact that you can't customize the commands for the above. I also didn't appreciate the lag between input and action taken by the character. The graphic is simple, but effective, and so is the soundtrack. Not the best game of all times ofc, but for less than 1$ (and no transactions in game) I haven't played many better games.
