Developer Notes

Lumi's Nightmare was heavily inspired by my reoccurring childhood nightmares. I tried to invoke some feelings of being in a those nightmares. You may find that a place feels familiar but not quite right, or feel lost or slightly anxious. The game was designed to force you to slow down at various points like trying to run through sludge.

I've also worked hard to incorporate as many accessibility options as possible and I've made sure that the game is easily playable by people with any type of color blindness (even going so far as to use a simulator to test various color combinations). 

I didn't have any playtesters so I am worried the difficulty may ramp up too fast. If you find that to be the case please switch on Easy Mode in Settings so that you restart on your current level instead of back at stage 1.

Known Bugs:

- Rarely you may kill an enemy but lose health yourself as well

- Pause Button functions but is not very responsive, may take a couple of presses

- Using the up arrow to navigate the main menu counts as clicking on the button. You can continue to scroll down with the down arrow and it will loop back around to the top
