Little Nemo & the Nightmare Fiends

This isn't my project and I'm involved in this in no way other than thinking it looks really cool, especially if you're a fan of Cuphead-style animation, the original Little Nemo video game, the excellent film, the comics, etc.

Thought with it being so damn close to being funded, I might see if anybody else wants to chip in!

Sorry if this isn't allowed or if there is a better place for it.

In a sense, yeah. The Little Nemo comics are public domain, so the project is about as official as it gets, outside of being by a first party studio or something.

Looks really great!

I want to see the atmosphere/ objects move a little alive. The animation Feels a little isolated. That super mario bros theme super show demo was pretty good, who ever did that.

I really like the idea of a new Little Nemo game, I've long loved the aesthetic of the comics. But the trailer just doesn't inspire me; I have no idea how fun to play the game might be and I'd rather wait for reviews before paying for a copy. Glad it hit its funding goal though!

The art is good, but the animation lacks smoothness, either from low animation frames or odd timing. Also, the actual game physics look thoroughly generic and not very fun. I also am not sure Little Nemo is a good fit for a hard spike-dodging platformer. This game looks like an uncomfortable mismatch all around.
