HOW TO PLAY VIDEO:
**Download runs better than WebGL!
CONTROLS
- WASD + Arrow keys to move
- HOLD left click to charge up sedative, release to fire, OR right click to cancel
- Hold R to restart at level 1
- P to Pause
1. Find the target (red guy)
2. Charge your sedative and fire at the target. Hitting the target will put them to sleep, and you will enter their dream.
a. The number represents how many seconds the target will fall asleep, but for each successive dream level you enter, the previous targets time slows down by half.
3. In their dream, there will be a new target. Repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. Shoot Blue NPCs to collect additional sedative ammo AND powerups.
UPDATE:
Fixed colliders for traintracks
Side timer works a little better.
Fixed colliders for powerups.

Really awesome Idea and concept just lacks the levels and polish for now but I bet its gonna get better I mean its only the beta but for now 5$ price tag is I think pretty high
Actually its not a beta, but I am continuing to add features to it, so expect some cool new stuff coming in early 2022 🤙
Thanks for asking me to play your game and providing a key! It was a fun time. I like the arcade-y aspect of this game. Seeing how many dreams you can dive into is a fun goal. There’s a bit of strategy when it comes to time management and ammo conservation which helps add to the experience. The narration at the beginning was some pretty interesting ASMR and I like the music choice as well!
I feel that the variety of dreams is very limited. There’s only 3 types of surreal situations you’ll find the target in and it gets a bit old too fast. The visuals or environment could change in some ways as well. It would help add to the replayability of the game and give a better impression of diving through different people’s dreams.
Overall, it was a neat experience! Thanks again for reaching out!
Your feedback here and in the video is priceless, definitely going to keep lots of these things in mind for future updates. Totally hear you on the limited number of dreams. I think I was focusing too much on the mechanical variety of dreams, when perhaps even just a little bit of cosmetic change could be interesting (what comes to mind is an idea I scrapped for bees chasing the target, which although mechanically similar to the chainsaw guy could freshin things up a bit-- as well as a dozen or so others!). I think perhaps its also time I considered expanding outside of the trainstation!
Glad you enjoyed yourself, thanks for playing!
Really cool idea, the game really gets your heart pounding!
thanks, I'm glad it has that effect on you! gonna try shipping a slightly expanded version by the time jam is over next month.
Hilarious as always! Dig it dude!
