Dream Sequence
How to play:
| ARROW KEYS [LEFT, RIGHT, UP] | WALK, JUMP |
| Z + ARROW KEYS [LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN] | PLAY FLUTE |
| X | UNLOCKABLE |
| SPACE | RESET |
You dream of your happy place, where a simple melody whisks your troubles away. Pay attention to coloured sequences in the world [RED, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE], and play them on your flute to unlock the corresponding gem. Wake up at 7.
Made for GMTK Game Jam 2024: Built to Scale. I'll be honest, this one's not very in theme. I guess there's some playing around with musical scales and physical scale of the world, but after some early jam stress I basically just went ham with assets to create something pretty. I hope you enjoy.
*Known bugs:
- In some instances a melody doesnt register immediately. Playing faster can help.
- In rare cases a gem might not disappear when it is picked up, or it disappears without the player getting a point. In this case you might have to reset. Apologies.
- It's possible to just push the statue out of the way.
Thank you so much for playing!

This is beautiful!! I love how the clues to the different melodies are scattered throughout the environment! It's refreshing to just enjoy the world around you and know every little thing in the background is arranged with a purpose that might just be hiding a secret. Even though the world is small, you made it feel handcrafted in such a cool way :D
I, ahem, may or may not have spent an inordinate amount of time splashing in the pond to make the ducks bounce up and down. I regret nothing.
The flute feels lovely to use and the platforming feels great too! Sculpting this little world in only four days must've been super intense, stellar job!!
Thank you so much!! I had a little trouble with the theme this jam so I ended up going all out in making it pretty. Definitely got my tileset practice in :)
I had followed a tutorial on the water surface just before the jam so there was no way it wouldn't be included, very glad you enjoyed bouncing the ducks as much as I did!
I'm sure I'm gonna tinker with this world a bunch more, your kind words are very motivating! Thanks again!
