Billy's Nightmare

Billy's Nightmare is challenging! But that's OK because the game is really fun and the loop is addictive. The developers worked hard on this game, and their labor of love shows. The item and weapon logic is fun because it's from Billy's child perspective, and the effects are lots of fun to watch and apply to the endless streams of baddies. Bring on the Nightmare—Boogeyman, do your worst!!!

Followed the development of this game and played the demo as well. It's crazy how far the game has come and it really came together well. You should definitely give it a chance if you're a fan of bullet hell games!

Billy's Nightmare is quite the opposite of what it's name implies, as I consider it to be an enjoyable game. It's relatively cheap for the content in it, and a variety of playstyles is always a plus. My main issue resides in the fact that some costumes are practically palette swaps without any changes. The Dinosaur and Magician are the exact same, along with many other costumes having the same basic shot. I haven't unlocked them all, but I believe future costumes may have a similar problem. Secondly, there is a lack of item variation. There are the summons, all of which are pretty similar (Tank, Helicopter, etc), the breath attacks, all of which are pretty similar (Chili Pepper, Frost Breath, etc), and there are your basic projectiles that aren't all that interesting. The game is fun up until you beat it, and I don't think it is necessarily an issue. It could benefit from a few free content updates adding new original movesets or items, with a bit of enemy variation sprinkled in as they feel repetitive after a while (if they made it paid DLC for 3-5$ that could also be acceptable depending on how good it is). Overall it's a fun game, but not worth picking up if you don't already own some classic Action Rougelike shooters (Enter the Gungeon, Nuclear Throne, etc).

+Quality of Life -things like refreshed abilities on level change -Tedious gameplay -Music -Technical issues -> cannot play full screen, stutters = Disappointment. I wouldn't recommend the game for myself. ............................................________........................ ....................................,.-‘”...................``~.,.................. .............................,.-”...................................“-.,............ .........................,/...............................................”:,........ .....................,?......................................................\,..... .................../...........................................................,}.... ................./......................................................,:`^`..}.... .............../...................................................,:”........./..... ..............?.....__.........................................:`.........../..... ............./__.(.....“~-,_..............................,:`........../........ .........../(_....”~,_........“~,_....................,:`........_/........... ..........{.._$;_......”=,_.......“-,_.......,.-~-,},.~”;/....}........... ...........((.....*~_.......”=-._......“;,,./`..../”............../............ ...,,,___.\`~,......“~.,....................`.....}............../............. ............(....`=-,,.......`........................(......;_,,-”............... ............/.`~,......`-...............................\....../\................... .............\`~.*-,.....................................|,./.....\,__........... ,,_..........}.>-._\...................................|..............`=~-,.... .....`=~-,_\_......`\,.................................\........................ ...................`=~-,,.\,...............................\....................... ................................`:,,...........................`\..............__.. .....................................`=-,...................,%`>--==``....... ........................................_\..........._,-%.......`\............... ...................................,<`.._|_,-&``................`\..............

Decent, but decent with style and charm. Pretty well balanced, beautifully animated, and lots of items/outfit variety too. Good roguelike!

Jogo muito bom e divertido , cada fantasia tem seu estilo de jogo próprio o que tambem faz o jogo ser bem variado e desafiador , altamente recomendado a todos que querem um jogo curto porém cheio de conteudo

nice style, atmosphere and gameplay
