Challenging, but funny. I got stuck on a lot of the puzzles (except for making the hammer). Overall, great game.

This was short, but sweet. It's a cute game that makes you think outside the box. Once you get the hang of it, it's a bit simplistic. But I'm giving 5 stars for the creativity of it all.

I loved it! The puzzles were intriguing. I loved making new words with fragments of other words and really brainstorming about it. *Got 50/50!*
Very innovative. Worth playing ^_^

The premise and structure of the gameplay is very clever, and I think it's neat that the author included options for playing the game on various devices. It's a shame that the game is over as soon as it gets started, though. By all means, I love what's here, but one can beat this game in 10 minutes without struggling. If the sequel's longer and stays true to this game's roots, at least a 4 from me can be expected.

A great game! It's one of the first of its kind. It's fairly straightforward, but breaking things and rearranging letters was pretty neat. I'm anticipating the next game of this series!

This was a nice text adventure. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what to do next :)
The idea/plot of the entire adventure was also very thouroughly thought out. and I enjoyed playing this.

P.S. Can someone please tell me how I can delete an account, or contact an admin for me to delete my account?

at first, i was confused, but the quick tutorial was helpful... I enjoyed this, and I hope a second one will be available soon! ;)

Comment Peter Pears

My pleasure. The game itself was fun enough, for reasons I already went into, but you went the extra mile and added all sorts of little touches, polish, details. When a game is lavished over so lovingly, some of that love seeps into the players. Well done.

I wanted to take a moment to thank personally to Peter Pears for his extensive review. I really enjoyed it during the IFComp.

Thank you Peter!

Review Peter Pears

(this review copy/pasted from IFDB)

"Already done? I was having so much fun!"

Some games, like the Alan game "The Chasing", have an indefinable quality that makes them a pleasure to play. It's a certain simplicity, a certain cuteness, a certain lack of pretension. They are what they are, the tropes and tricks they use are so transparent they would be groan-worthy if they weren't so darn cute, and sincere.

I was very glad to realise that Dream Pieces was one of these, and of all the Quest Games I've played it's certainly one of the best - and taking the polish into consideration, probably *the* best, period. Quest has been needing a good game to really take off and showcase its abilities... well, "Dream Pieces" might be it.

It's a simple "escape the room" game, where all the prose rhymes (some rhymes are really groan-worthy, but it's all somehow within a certain limit that keeps the whole thing enjoyable) and the aim is to break stuff, and construct a way out from the wreckage. Wordplay-style. Within the basic framework of Quest, though, so it's always a "use X with Y" situation. It works surprisingly well, even if some situations were clearly not expected by the author(Spoiler - click to show).

This is like an escape-the-room hybrid of Counterfeit Monkey (for basic mechanics) and The Chasing (for tone). It won't blow anyone's mind, but it's entertaining, rather sweet, impressively coded for a Quest game with all sorts of little touches, and my only real complaint is that it's way too short. This is a game I'd love to play for quite a while longer.
