Billy's Nightmare

I enjoyed my time with Billy's nightmare. Just to preface this I did receive the game for free, but that does not change my thoughts or opinions on it. There are a few things that I wish were a little bit different in the game, not necessarily problems, but preferences. 1. I'd like to be able to use an ability while firing my main gun. Currently abilities go on the primary fire cool down which doesn't allow you to use abilities quite as seamless while firing. 2. I'd like monsters to have a small chance to drop sleeping pills. Probably because I'm bad at the game, but I found myself spending a lot of money just on healing at the tooth fairy instead of getting new items. 3. I'd like to see more passive items, or the chance at getting passive items more often throughout runs. It could allow you to feel stronger and make things a bit more chaotic with stacking passive items. Maybe similar to the way Binding of Isaac does it idk. The good: The game was fluid and fun! I love the theme. It was fun using different silly items to mow down nightmares. The mount was an extremely nice touch to help when you have to navigate back through an entire floor and kept the pacing smooth. I thought the difficulty was good too, even though I struggled it felt rewarding to finally beat a boss I had been struggling with. Overall I'd definitely recommend Billy's Nightmare, especially if you enjoyed enter the gungeon or the binding of Isaac. Can't wait to see what they change/add to the game!

I waited around five years for this game when I watched the first dev log for it I was in middle school now I'm an adult in college I remember playing the demo for Billy's Nightmare when it came out on itch.io and more or less that is what I thought the game would be like just the demo with more levels and polish but the game has changed so much since then first off the NPCs are great they all feel like they serve a purpose in the game and they're designs are great. I also love all the jokes and one-liners they really make the NPCs feel alive and the bosses are just amazing they serve as a challenge but aren't stupidly hard to beat they are a nice middle ground which is perfect for people who want a casual gaming experience second, there is enough content in this game to keep you busy for a while and even after you beat the game there is still lots to do like collect stars so you can unlock all the outfits or try to get all the achievements or find all the little secrets hidden in the levels the replay-ability for this game is crazy I don't normally write reviews for games but this one is really close to my heart and I just wanted to take a second to give it the praise it deserves it has come a long way and has so much effort put into it and the gameplay reflects that if you're reading this I strongly recommend you give this game a try 12/10 It is the best indie game on Steam

Billy's Nightmare is one of the best Roguelikes ever made, period. Fast paced and highly addictive combat featuring more unique characters than The Lord of the Rings. Humorous NPCs, an awesome collection of bosses, and a fantastic soundtrack. There is certainly some RNG involved, and you can't guarantee that a specific run is going to be the one that takes you to victory. But there are permanent upgrades that will make your runs so much easier as you play, a shop to buy things, some truly incredible weapons. The kinds that you might have come up with while you were a kid, pretending to attack a various multitude of monsters and other creatures. The ability to mount up and travel through levels quickly is also present, and implemented in the best possible way. It's an absolutely entertaining experience, one that you can play in short bursts or find yourself glued to the screen for a very long time. Absolutely recommended.

STRIKE ME DOWN, BOOGEYMAN, YOU DON'T HAVE THE BALLS!!!

good

The game is great and a masterpiece, but why does it lag and freeze so much? Although my computer is not weak. Other than that, I don't see any other drawbacks P.s After the patch, all the friezes disappeared. Thank you for listening to us and fixing bugs, I look forward to the hard mod.

Do you have what it takes to beat the boogeyman? You will ♥♥♥♥ up, but that's okay. Just keep going and face those fears!

Very neat twin stick shooter, with great room destruction and blood splatter effects. If you want the feeling of traumatising a small child, without the legal trouble, try it!
