Dream Tale is a simple, bare-bones platformer in which you are a young girl navigating a trippy, space-y dream-world in search of her dog. I was hoping for an exploration experience along the lines of Knytt, but that's not really what this game is. It's broken up into a series of mini-levels that each take about 90 seconds or so to finish, provided...
Charming little indie platformer.
Story is quite simple but enough to be interesting and the soundtrack is both fitting and relaxing. Controls may feel a little floaty at first but you soon realize that's because the game design is gravity/physics based. Levels increase in difficulty quickly and do include very basic highscore charts for those seeking...
Don't let the simple art style fool you; this is a GREAT game. There's a lot of story to it, and the platforming starts to get really precise after the first few levels. It'll tug at your heart if you've ever had a dog, especially if that dog ever went missing.
I can honestly say I would have paid more for this game than I actually did. It's super fun...
It has a cute aesthetic and basic story, and it is far from the worst platforming game I've played. Unfortunately though, it commits the biggest sin of platforming in my eyes, the character is weightless and floaty. I get that because it's in space, it's supposed to simulate weaker gravity, but for me, it makes the game utterly unplayable.

When aliens kidnap a cute little puppy, the only option is to race after them. This platformer suffers for it's week level design and mushy controls creating a sluggish tedium that prevents it from being fully enjoyable.
Waiting for enemies to slowly path around to find openings bog down the momentum. Inconsistent level...
