About Double Dream

Platform: NES
Developer: Mag1dev
Year: 2025
Genre: Platformer
Players: 1
License: Homebrew

Mag1dev's platformer is built around movement, which the author calls shmovement: once your skills are good enough you can go almost anywhere.

Signs teach the moves: jumps that rise as long as you hold A, a spin kick that also works off walls and combines with a moonflip, wall kicks, a bouncy dash, rolling through tunnels, running and throwing objects. The Dream Catcher pocket stores an enemy or object for later, a raft blocks shots and a bat lets you glide down.

Dollim, a young magician, is the first person you meet. There are checkpoints, 12 stars to find and a hidden room. The world scrolls continuously instead of cutting between screens.

Mag1dev entered a 32 KB prototype in the NESdev Compo 2023, dated 20 November 2023. Versions 0.2.0 and 0.2.1 added the Dream Catcher, scrolling in every direction, slopes, semi-solid platforms and a pause menu. It is a name-your-own-price download with a browser version.
