Made for the Touhou game jam 8, made under the theme "Dreams".

You are Doremy sweet, a self proclaimed "Dream Manager",  Your goal is to give people what dreams they want, failing to do so, they will start to have a nightmare which you must put out. Nightmares are is something that can happen on the job, but the frequency has been going up. Something is up.

How To Play:

The dreamers have an emotion bar that will increase, giving them their specific journal or sitting on top of the square (both works) will reduce the emotion point increase. A nightmare will occur when they reach max emotion point, bringing them into a nightmare state and 50 emotion points. fighting them will remove/add emotion points. Sitting on the nightmare square also removes emotion points. The fight is just bullethell. At max emotion on a nightmare, the nightmare will spread emotion to nearby neighbors. 

I bet I forgot a massive bug/oversight so your game might softlock or crash, notify me if it occurs so I can ignore the bug again.

Controls:

• Arrow keys to move in dream/nightmare.
• Z to pick up journals/shoot in nightmare.
• X to bomb in nightmare.
• Shift to run/focus.
• ESC to pause.

Content:

• Four difficulties. Normal, hard, lunatic and nightmare.
• Three phases with increasing number of dreamers.
• Like 15 spells or something.
• Atleast 10 characters I think.
• Achievements and progress saving.
• Like three lines of dialog, watch out.
• Bad art and marginally better music 😎

Fixes:

The (fps fix) version should limit the game to 60 fps, this is mainly for the people out here with 144hz monitors. The original jam version I left up incase I'm in violation of jam policy or something.
