Dream Tale

Dream Tale is a simple, bare-bones platformer in which you are a young girl navigating a trippy, space-y dream-world in search of her dog.

It's broken up into a series of mini-levels that each take about 90 seconds or so to finish, provided you don't die. Controls are limited to walking and jumping, and...

Don't let the simple art style fool you; this is a GREAT game. There's a lot of story to it, and the platforming starts to get really precise after the first few levels. It'll tug at your heart if you've ever had a dog, especially if that dog ever went missing. I can honestly say I would have paid more for this game than I actually did. It's super fun and and really charming, and gives a decent challenge.

It has a cute aesthetic and basic story, and it is far from the worst platforming game I've played. Unfortunately though, it commits the biggest sin of platforming in my eyes, the character is weightless and floaty. I get that because it's in space, it's supposed to simulate weaker gravity, but for me, it makes the game utterly unplayable.
