A Prison for Dreams

A Prison for Dreams continues the story in the Dream World with a 2D pixel art metroidvania adventure, similar to A Graveyard for Dreams. Made by Jani Nykänen. The game introduces some cool new features: you can now walk on slopes, something that wasn’t in the earlier game. Climbing has been removed because players didn’t find it fun. The camera follows your character smoothly now, instead of only moving when you reach the screen’s edge. Plus, the game automatically saves your progress, so you don’t have to worry about forgetting to save. If you liked other metroidvania games, these changes make exploring this world feel easier and more exciting.

Just Have Fun!

How to Play:

Controls:

Gamepad controls (for Xbox-type gamepads) are listed in parentheses.

  • Move: Arrow keys/WASD (dpad/left stick)
  • Jump*: space/Z/J (A button)
  • Attack*: Ctrl/X/K/Left mouse button (X button)
  • Shoot*: Shift/C/L/Right mouse button (B button)
  • Down attack*:   Jump & down & attack
  • Charge attack*: keep attack button pressed down after attacking and release after the player starts to flicker
  • High jump*: press down when on ground, press jump button after the player starts to flicker
  • Charge attack*: keep shoot button pressed after shooting and release after the player starts to flicker
  • Pause: Escape/Enter (Start button)

Saving:

The game saves progress automatically. When you see a spinning floppy disk on the bottom-right corner, the game has been saved, but if you see a flickering symbol with “!” symbol, then something went wrong (most likely your browser blocks local storage)
