Nyx Trapped You in a Nightmare World!
The Book of Dreams has been torn apart and scattered by the evil Nyx, and it’s up to four pajama-clad friends to put things right. Armed only with pillows, players must battle and brawl through hordes of whimsical enemies — from banjo-plucking frogs to laser-blasting eyeballs — in order to find the legendary tome’s missing pages. It’s a slumber party for the ages!
Enemies
BoiKoi MiniBoss
Frog Minion
King Tooth Mini Boss
Cavity Minion
Flying Eyeball
BoiKoi: MiniBoss
This goofy dude is based off of the goofiness of WWE. He is an unfortunate “reverse Mermaid” who specializes in area attacks like bodyslams and bubble blowing. My only intentions with BoiKoi was to make him completely ridiculous. He didn’t really change when Nyx came to poison dreamland - he’s always been a brute.
Concept Art and Animation
Banjo Frog: Minion
BoiKoi’s minions are a gang of Banjo-strumming frogs who specialize is close-combat whack attacks. Don’t get too close! These nasty critters give a good, melodic smack.
Concept Art and Animation
King Tooth: MiniBoss
King Tooth is a gently, sweet giant at heart! When Nyx came to dreamland and turned him and his little tooth inhabitants into Cavities, the whole Kingdom went into chaos! Now, King Tooth is a sorcerer who uses his magic for area attacks and smacking people with his dirty toothbrush… EWW!!
Concept Art and Animation
Cavities: Minion
King Tooth ruled his tooths with a kind and loving hand! But now all the Tooths are Cavities, and boy are they mean. These enemies are walking bombs, and they leap at you quickly and deal high damage. Once they hit, they self-destruct.
Concept Art and Animation
Flying Eyeballs: Enemy
The eyeballs arrive in dreamland with Nyx. These enemies shoot lasars out of their eyes and swoop down to attack from above, an they are found all across Nyx’s “Nightmare”land. Once you defeat Nyx, these enemies will disappear with her.
Concept Art and Animation
Abandoned and Extras
Due to the project’s scope and deadline, these particular critters never made it to the animation stage. We covered a range of attacks and themes with the Tooths, eyeballs and frogs, so these ended up being redundant. Daisy was actually a Venus Fly Trap with long distance poison shots, and the Skeleton was another close-combat enemy. The fairy and armadillo were add-ins to make the game just so much cuter.
