It was a lovely game in terms of graphics, music, atmosphere and game design, though it was a shame the controls weren't smoother.
Reviews for "The Illusionist's Dream"
SeethingSwarm responds:
I'm so glad you like it! I agree that the controls are a bit clunky. I was still learning a lot about making games while creating The Illusionist's Dream and I did my best. I'm still learning a lot, but I'd like to believe that I have improved over time. Anyway, thanks for the kind words and the nice score :)
Finally, a game done right
SeethingSwarm responds:
Oh thanks a lot! Really glad you like it :)
This game is so beautiful. The message, the game play, the music, the artwork, everything. It can be pretty challenging, which is a good thing I think because otherwise it would be way too short. It is a lot of fun being the different types of animals. The atmosphere for me implies loneliness, isolation, and hope. Like one of the reviewers below me, I have to come back and play this every now and again. Thank you for making such a beautiful game.

You're very welcome, and thanks for the review and the kind words! I'm so glad you like this game :) You're right, I did try to create an atmosphere of isolation and loneliness with a tint of hope and it's great that you saw that. It's really nice to know that some people are still playing this game. It's definitely one of my own favourites, and it holds a lot of meaning to me personally.
Love it, it's so relaxing and refreshing that death doesn't really matter.

Thank you! Really glad you liked it :)
I have to come back at least once a year and play this, just to remember. Thank you for this game.
SeethingSwarm responds:
It's so nice to know that! You're most welcome and you made my day :) I thought this game has already been forgotten by everyone. Thanks for the comments and the 5 stars!
