Pico (Dream Diary Jam 5)
A short demo of a Yume Nikki fangame made for Dream Diary Jam #5.
The jam this year was a bit of a roller-coaster... I started on one project at the start, got sick and gave up. Then I realized it ended on the 26th, rather than the 16th.
I frantically worked on this entirely new project over the next 9 or so days, so please excuse any short comings it may have toward the jam requirements.
Also everything may be broken.
But hey, got that web deployment to work.
WASD to move
Z to interact
Press and hold Z to activate effect (there's only one this works with).
You know the drill.

I think I might have found a bug. I went northeast from the start, crossed the big stone bridge north, interacted with the big hole to go inside, and interacted with the little plant-like creature inside. The creature moved a few spaces to the right, then the game seems to have frozen.
Yyup, that was entirely broken.
Should be fixed now, there's also a way to actually leave the hole!
I think there are some bugs in the fish switching too. Switching directly from fish to pottomorph sometimes keeps the fish movement speed, and if I keep using items underwater I seem to sometimes end up as the slow fish-on-land instead of the underwater fish. None of this seems to stop the game from working, though.
Man, game development is hard... is it obvious the effects were the last thing I implemented 😅?
Thanks for the feedback, I'll fix it when I can.
I'm enjoying the scenery a lot. It reminds me of Cactus's early work.
We reached the ending! Not sure how to tell whether we found everything on the way there, but we had fun looking.
