In dreams
Best of the
Dreamverse
FOREST IN
THE RAIN
It’s not a game, but
BadRobo82’s numerous
photoreal scenes are
some of the best yet
created in Dreams. One
of the most visually
arresting is Forest In
The Rain. The realistic
foliage is lit by lightning
flashes for unsurpassed
atmosphere.
SCENE
TOWER BALL
More ball games in
Dreams, but this one
keeps things beautifully
simple. Four game types
- Run, Jump, Swim, and
Climb – dictate the
challenge as you guide
your ball against the
clock to the map’s end.
Every platform maze
has been crafted with
precision in mind, which
makes the simplest jump
a tense affair.
GAME
PIXEL-ROAD
Twin-Brothers
(TheLostOneNL and
GODSMACK-NL) is a dev
making a name for itself
in Dreams, and this
Frogger-like game
shows why. Guiding
your character requires
you to tap directions on
the D-pad; the more you
tap, the faster he
moves. It’s a subtle
control shift but fun.
GAME
Love D&D? Then
try out Heroes Of
Aldrenor in Dreams.
098
S
tuck in the house and
exhausted your games
collection? Then maybe this
is the time to embrace the
thousands of games buried
inside Dreams. To help you get started
we’ve picked some of our recent
favourites. But don’t stop here – carry
on exploring afterwards.
HEROES OF ALDRENOR
If you’re feeling the urge to batter
countless goblins and loot dungeons
while your pals cheer you on, then this
Dark-Alliance-like dungeon-crawler is
for you. It’s amazing how Dreams
creator DarkestEssence has managed
to craft a full action RPG inside Dreams,
complete with three-player co-op. One
of the best games in Dreams, Heroes
Of Aldrenor has the depth of play to
compete with most indies.
DREAMS HOMERUN
CHALLENGE
Exactly what you expect: bat balls over
the wooden fence to
score. There’s an
Endless mode that
challenges you to string
hits together. It may
not be complex, but
InfaredJ’s Homerun
Challenge has an
old-fashioned arcade
sensibility we can happily
slide into.
FUNKY BONES IV
If you’re a longtime Media
Molecule fan then this
LittleBigPlanet homage
ticks all the boxes. This
new level by creator
Loz_r sends his hero,
Madamoiselle Diop, to the
underworld to platform
her way past hazards
and cute skeletons. If
you’re after a polished
gem, look no further.
RAINBOW ISLAND
There’s a subtle Bubble
Bobble influence in this
slick platformer from
Fr0d0_FragginS79, as
you guide your cute
dragon around blank
islands, canvasses for
his colour-spraying
breath. Even as a WIP,
Rainbow Island shines.
BALL WORLD
ADVENTURES!
PART ONE
Guide your ball across
obstacle courses
accessed from a hub
map. xXRazorfistXx’s ball
balancer is essential.
