Stuck on dream on screen???
Cella lee

Every time I finish a level, it stays stuck on the final screen of bob sleeping with “dream on”. There’s no way to get to the menu or the next level!? I have to close the app and reopen it every time I finish a level??


Fun game, nice art

Unique style which is like a combination of Dali, Magritte, and David Lynch. This game deserves more credit than it gets. Beat the main game and now playing the nightmare mode. Great job devs!


ReAly good
logan loves cats

It’s a good mind bumbler but I’m only on part one


Sounds and controls horrible
wersix6

I think this has potential but I wish I hadn’t paid for it. The game is glitchy, keeps stuttering when you play. The sounds keeps speeding up and slowing down like a bad cassette tape. The dog doesn’t react. Smoothly when you try to move him. Seems like there is a slight delay in the controls. Can I have my money back, please?


Horrible controls!
TeD2D

Seriously bad controls. Delete.


Pretty but...
Konokopia

The game is visually attractive but the controls are unresponsive. I bring the dog next to it and I keep touching the apple over and over, then I touch the dog, then I touch the ground where he is standing, then I touch screen around, and most of the time nothing happens. On the occasion that it does, the guy passed me by already. Too frustrating to bother with. Also, the elongated screen images show as if the game was optimized for the iPhone X. It is not. It takes up only a small portion of the screen. Too bad, because the game is pretty to look at. It looks like the artwork is better fitted for the more squarish proportions of the iPad. The bigger screen may make a difference in controls, too. But for the iPhone, I would not recommend it.


Update to iOS 11 please!
Bobby1900

Can’t play this game until you update. Please fix!


Cool game
Br1anberry

Finished it all the way through. Was trippy with trippy music and challenging levels. I would like more games like this.


Fix
Adam daddio

Really need to fix the after level loading


Phenomenal Game
meburns90

I don't normally write reviews, but this game is being given a very unfair representation. It runs much better on iPhone 6 and is a fairly graphic intensive experience so that makes a lot of sense that they would want to get as much out of the available hardware. Loved the game and Story. Beautiful art style, please give it a fair try.
