Arrow Keys to move, Z to jump, C to dash, Up Arrow to interact; or WASD to move, Space to jump, C to dash, E to interact
As a slime living in the fantasy sector of the Dreamscape, life is pretty good. Go to work as a character in Sleepers' dreams, relax, repeat. However, things are starting to look a bit different. The terrain has been replaced with weird, blocky platforms. People are losing the ability to move or do things, as if they've been drained from them! Take back control of yourself and get to the bottom of this on your journey through the Dream.
Made in a week for the Blizzard Boyz 2024 Summer Game Jam.
I made this on a laptop during my free time in between a busy schedule while on the other side of the planet than I usually am, so please don't judge too harshly.
[Edit: fixed a couple obscure softlocks and added extra NPCs for guidance]
Shoutout to Tarodev for the smooth character controller base!

ahh such a charming game! the core mechanic of your movement abilities changing constantly made for some challenging yet not too overbearing puzzles and encouraged talking with the npcs in the game, which was also a pleasure to engage with! the fact that there was a unique music track for every level is extremely impressive. favorite level was definitely the one where you were locked into moving one horizontal direction and it changing when you hit the different barriers, so simple yet there's a lot you can do with it. one addition i would suggest would be a visual indicator as to what abilities or map parts you gain/lose when passing through barriers/talking with npcs. a lot of time was spent figuring out exactly what occurred rather than continuing to progress so that's a quality of life feature i'd appreciate. overall, lovely job for a week's worth of time and being fully across the world ^^
Left hand controls AND goblins? This game really is a dream...
