Dream Bright

[h1] BEFORE STARTING... [/h1] This is a student project and for a student project it's quite an interesting game, but I can't say I'm impressed with the job they did, sadly... [h1] ARE STORY AND STORY-TELLING GOOD? [/h1] The story is quite short and it's about searching about finding Lucy's toys with her imaginary friend, it involves some scenes inside of the dream world as well, but the story is too basic and too short, I mean finishing the game takes 10-15 minutes. [h1] GAMEPLAY MECHANICS ARE WELL-MADE? [/h1] Gameplay is well-made and enjoyable considering how short the game is, there are some different mechanics especially we can use in the dream world and they are interesting. [h1] HOW ABOUT LEVEL/WORLD DESIGN? IS IT GOOD? [/h1] Yeah, the level/world design looks cute and good, especially the dream world is quite interesting. [h1] HOW ABOUT VISUAL QUALITY AND STYLE? [/h1] The visual quality looks decent and the visual style is cute. [h1] HOW ABOUT OPTIMIZATION [/h1] For any game, optimization is one of the most important things that need to do right, but this game's optimization is terrible. I'm not sure why and how but this game gives you lower FPS even than some new AAA title games like Hogwarts Legacy, I mean I got 25-30fps with this game and there is no option to change graphic settings and it's literally unplayable at this state. [h1] OUTCOME EVALUATION [/h1] It's quite a short and cute-looking game and an interesting student project, but with current terrible optimization, I'm not sure I should be excited about these student's developer careers... With the current nearly unplayable state I don't suggest playing it. [h1] RATINGS [/h1] [*]Story And Story Telling = 5 [*]Gameplay Mechanics = 7 [*]Level/World Design = 7 [*]Visual Style & Quality = 7 [*]Optimization & Polishing = 1 [*]General Rating = 5.4

Слишком короткий сюжет, а так в целом неплохо

Let's save Lucy from her nightmares! A short journey but very adorable. Loved the way the monsters were and the chase. Would love for the journey to continue.

很可爱的小游戏，不过对鼠标操控不是很友好，我两只手都叠一起了，暖和的嘞。

Dream Bright ist ein kostenloses kleines 3D-Adventure mit Plattformingsequenzen, das mit nur rund 20 Minuten ein sehr kurzes Spielerlebnis bietet. Aber diese 20 Minuten ist das Spiel allemal wert. Das Erste, was auffällt, ist die sehr gefällige Präsentation. Alles wirkt sehr nett gemacht, von den skizzenhaften Bildern, welche die grobe Story erzählen, bis zur sehr hübschen 3D-Grafik. Das Ganze ist insgesamt sehr ansprechend gestaltet. Gerade unter kostenlosen Spielen ist das ja keine Selbstverständlichkeit und deshalb ragt das hier auch deutlich heraus. Sehr positiv ist auch die Story. Die bleibt mir insgesamt etwas vage, trotzdem wirkt sie sehr sympathisch und genügend rund. Es geht um ein Mädchen, das mit Hilfe seines Plüschtiers(?) versucht, seine Ängste zu überwinden und sich Spielsachen zurückzuholen. Das ist keine weltbewegende Geschichte, aber nett gemacht und eben einfach sympathisch. Dazu kommt ein sehr gefälliges Gameplay. Es gibt zum einen Schleichpassagen, zum anderen aber auch Plattforming. Beides funktioniert recht gut. Ja, die Steuerung ist nicht ultrapräzise und reagiert manchmal etwas träge, aber das bleibt völlig okay, zumal die Checkpoints sehr fair gesetzt sind und die Gesamtspielzeit ja auch wirklich nicht lang ist. Gerade das Plattforming macht dabei wirklich Spass. Fazit: Ein sympathisches kleines Spiel, das einfach gut ist. Nicht das Beste, was es je gab, aber doch sehr kurzweilig und unterhaltsam, sodass ich es herzlichst weiterempfehle.

Dream Bright is a short, free, cute puzzle-platformer game made as a student project. You play as a girl named Lucy, who with the help of her imaginary friend (a cat... star... thing?) travels to a dream world to retrieve her other toys that were misplaced while moving houses. Its a pretty well-made little game, and one I'm willing to buy for if a full, polished version were to get made. It's only around half an hour long, and must be finished in one sitting. This game has 3 kinds of levels, the slower-paced, puzzle-based daytime real world, a faster-paced platforming in the dream world, and nighttime real world levels where you must avoid enemies. Movement in the real world feels kinda sluggish, but in the dream world it feels very smooth and satisfying. From a realistic point of view it makes sense though, a real person can imagine themselves being as fast as they'd like to. My only complaint is menu-related, as for some strange reason the game doesn't allow you to pause mid-play, making you unable to exit the game or review controls. Keyboard bindings are also absent from the controls menu, despite the fact that they still work. But due to its length it's honestly not that big of a deal. If you like cute games or just looking for a short one, you should give Dream Bright a try. It kinda has A Hat in Time vibes, to be honest.

Dream Bright, keşif, platform oluşturma ve gizliliği kısa bir yolculukta birleştiren benzersiz, hikaye odaklı bir oyundur. Kendi macerasını yaratırken Lucy'nin hayal gücüne dalın.

мне игра понравилась , легкий сюжет , красочная картинка . не хватило только хорошей музыки на заднем плане
