Got the 3 dreamcatchers, but couldn't jump up the trunk after growing it :( Love the mood and the way the shapes deform!

This was great! The mood was set very well.

And don't worry, it's just a nightmare!

Awesome concept!!!! Out of all the 3D games I've played today this one has the best graphics!!! I would not even know where to start with 3D Art!! The mood was super cool and the sounds bouncing off the objects as you got closer was a nice touch! I did get lost (a lot) but I will come back to this one and see if I can't beat it! Nice job!

Super moody and kind of creepy, and very neat concept! I got so far, but the last brown morphing stair ramp thing did me in. I got 3 or 4 dream catchers, and saw that blue/white light shaft but couldn't get up on the top to drop in (i presume that was the goal). Nice work! :)

Very moody, great atmosphere and sounds.

Picked up 3 dreamcatchers, but couldn't progress further, maybe I just missed something?

I see this game has a lot of originality and I really want to like it, but I can't get to enjoy the gameplay. I had some performance issues running the game as well.

This game is little confusing but still interesting because of good atmosphere.

Very moody and atmospheric, and nice use of the 3d morphing system.

I think I would have preferred if you could hold down the shoot button to throw the balls more quickly, or some sort of "highlight and press a key to interact" system to interact with the puzzle elements.

Aside from some technical issues, like weird occlusion culling. I liked this, strange dream like structures and simple ambient sounds bring this together. I like how the mechanic is taught using only contextual cues, even if it's not very complex. Doesn't need to be complicated. I did get lost after getting the third object.

Loving the ambient your game creates, it's really nice. The control are a bit off, but good job!

Pretty fun and decent progress game. Certainly needs sounds and music, and the level is too dark_I had to readjust my screen settings :/. I like the maze aspect to this game and you have to pay attention to detail. The balls throwing out was a bit random, but hey, it works xD

You just set an awesome mood to your game! I'm not found of maze games, but this one works well on me.
Well done :)
