In Fear. The Not So Epic Conclusion That Is Not Really A Conclusion To The In Sleep Series.

They say that all nightmares are all in your head.

Too bad you are too!

May I present

In Fear.

This is the first level to have combat and some light exploration elements.

There is no treasure because why would there be something good in a nightmare? (aka I forgot)

This will conclude the first trilogy in the in sleep series.

Advice and thoughts are welcome.

Nice level! I can see a lot of progress compared to your previous work!
Maybe add a little more decoration next time, but it's already looking pretty good.

You might want to playtest it a little more though, I've found the boss pretty easy due to this little exploit:

If it's broken, fix it.
If it isn't broken, I'll soon fix that.

Well.

The boss was really overpowered anyway.

I guess I will Change some stuff around to remove that exploit.

UPDATE: I removed the exploit. You can no longer escape the boss room and you can no longer get out of the walls.

BTW It is possible to beat the boss with one life without the exploit. I has to do it in playtesting.

Found another one. This one's even worse though, you'll skip about 90% of the level...
