About...
Tower of Sleep is a short binksi prototype created for the Two-Button Jam, which restricts gameplay to just two buttons (here up/down arrows). It depicts the surreal nightmares of a random person, set inside a tower with endless maze-like corridors. The player is forced to move further and further into the eerie dream.
This was my first successful attempt at creating something with the binksi engine, as the jam's restriction helped me stick with a simple implementation: forced linear path and text popups. With little text or code, I spent most of the time creating pixel art (8x8) for the game, which was also a new experience for me.
The code and assets are freely available for download on the game page.
Reviews
very nice! definitely subverted my expectations when coming into it. visually, its very pretty, im a sucker for pixel art and simple palettes. i like the story, though im not sure how much i understand it, maybe thats for the best! gives me eldritch horror vibes.

I LOVE the ambiance and the feel to it, and you worked around the 2 button limitation pretty nicely x)
