Nightmare by Jimun
A boy sleeps peacefully in bed, but you are the nightmare, come to make his dreams unhappy. Enter the towers that protect his dreams, and corrupt the core.
Defeating large enemies will grant you the power to take the form of that creature.
This is the Jam entry I made along with Chip Caramel.
The Windows version is now up, just unpack the exe and dll files somewhere and run. If you already have Love2D on you system, you may prefer to run the Love2D version, though, as it'll be a slightly smaller download.
Left/Right - Move
Left Shift (Hold) - Sprint
Up - Enter doorway/Corrupt core
Down - Crawl, Drop from ceiling
Space - Jump/Fly/Advance Intro and ending
C - Attack
X (hold) + Arrows - Transform
Ctrl+Q - Exit game
F2 - Change window size
We were tight on time here, so this hasn't been tested nearly enough. Probably lots of bugs left and right that I don't know about. I'll probably post a post-jam version later with fixes.

This was a very good idea, and I think you guys pulled it off pretty well. The controls were a bit hard for me to get the hang of, and with such little health, I did find it kind of challenging at points. But you did a great job with it. Waiting on the action bar to recharge got pretty annoying at times, though. Good job all around.

The windows exe would not run for me, unfortunately.

I've tested the Windows exe on my end with no problems. I would need additional information to be able to help with it. What was the error message you recieved? At what point did it fail? Did you make sure to place the exe ina directory alongside the two included DLLs?

Looks nice and good idea of taking over the shape of other animals but the intro part of difficult and slow and ... I'll try again later.

The charged jumping control and that the jump-meter does not charge unless you're sitting completely still is too harsh and makes manoeuvring the platforms more difficult than it should be. Not sure where the game is headed as I stopped in the library? section. The atmosphere is good but it's a bit vague what I'm here for, just jumping on some rabbits and other creatures.

The stamina thing is a known issue with the game. It actually gets too lenient later on with one of the other forms. It's a playtesting issue we didn't have enough time to address.

This is a really well made game. There's lot to do. The controls were kind of annoying though, I felt like jumping was unresponsive. I really liked the transform thing. Great work!
