A PLACE TO BEGIN / Dying Dreams

Start with one good session.

Every figure responds to the same movement. Dying Dreams asks you to remove all of them from the screen, so a safe move for one can be the wrong move for another. Its 13 puzzles make the relationship between separate positions the main thing to study.

Meet Dying Dreams ↗

Learn the input before solving the layout

Read whether the game expects a key, a drag or a sequence of selections. Try one small action and inspect everything it changes. A compact board can still have a rule that affects several objects at once; the individual profile explains that project’s documented mechanic.

Choose the pace you want

A puzzle label does not guarantee an untimed or reversible move loop. Check the game’s own rules and progress panel before assuming you can stop an attempt or undo a decision. The collection keeps controls and saving alongside the launch link.

Use the competition page as context

Several entries were made under the js13k size constraint. Their official entry pages document the pitch, inputs and credited creators. A small package can still depend on working JavaScript, graphics or a particular input method; download size is not a promise of phone compatibility.
