'Dreamwalker' Out Now!


Dreamwalker is a stylised orthographic platformer where you journey through a house structure floating in a dream-like void. 

The aim is to solve the colourful platform puzzles to unlock the door into the next room, and to reach the final room at the top of the house structure. 

I wanted to use this game to look at how platformers can be presented in an orthographic view, and to look at the meaning behind dreams. Specifically, looking at what symbols within the subconscious can reflect about your state of mind and personality. For example, I used keys to indicate the idea of progression, and I also used plants to represent travelling deeper into the mind, hence why the plants become wilder and less tamed the further into the level you get. 

With more time working on this game, I would like to add sound effects and dialogue to make the theme more explicit and to convey a deeper level of meaning.
