A downloadable demo for Windows and Linux

Introduction

                                                         

Meet Plaidcap, a humble inhabitant of the Dreamscape. While most may settle for nothing more than a dreamcatcher and a touch of journaling, Plaidcap has been set off a quest to rid a child of their particularly troublesome nightmares. From the surface-level subconscious of the Archipelago, Plaidcap is tasked with travelling into deeper corners of the Dreamscape, finding Dream Spirits to explore even deeper.



                                                        

Plaidcap has got just the skillset needed to navigate the harrowing obstacles of the Dreamscape. Jump, Spin, and Crouch across numerous levels, and use these moves in combination for more powerful techniques. Discovering the moveset unique to Plaidcap, and utilizing it to its fullest potential, is the key to success. Controller support is available, for those who's prefer such over a keyboard.

                                   

As with any Collectathon worth's its salt, each level is littered with collectibles to search every nook and cranny for. Each type of collectible has its extrinsic reward for collection, as well as the intrinsic reward of the illustrious 100% completion. Collect Z's to access new levels, Dream Spirits to access new islands, Buddies to access Challenge Courses, and more!


                                                        

While all of this may sound wonderful, the game needs support from people like you before it can reach its full potential. There's only 1 Main Level and 1 Side Level present, the tutorial uses a temporary placeholder track, and several of the game's planned features are currently unimplemented. Any contribution to the Kickstarter campaign of $2 or more grants special perks, so check the link below for more details.

I really like the design of this game and also the music, it doesn't get annoying! It reminds me of Petscop which I absolutely love. I also found the main menu and pause menu really cool! But goddamit, I suck at these obby games. I almost crashed out at this part (skill issue on my part). Sadly, didn't finish this introduction level.

Honestly, I enjoyed it even through the suffering (●'◡'●) 

Oh I have question. Can I already visit the other levels or this was just purely beta version? (If yes I need to better my gaming skills to explore it whole)

(1 edit)

The tutorial is completely optional, so you can skip past that if it's giving you too much trouble. As for the others, the only other levels that are available are "Copperopolis" and "Dustbowlane". The former can be played at the very start by going right from where you spawn on the 1st island. The latter can be accessed further ahead once you collect at least 100 Z's in a single run of that first level.

Don't worry though, the tutorial's definitely getting a revamp in a later update. Almost everything about it needs at least a slight revamp.

Okayyy thank you!   (o゜▽゜)o✿
