User Rating:At first glance, Mr. Dreamer reminds me of the Gravity Guy franchise also available on iOS devices. However, the game quickly segregates itself from the latter by adding a few knocks and twists in gameplay. Oh, and to the backstory. Working for the Broccoli Company…
Mr. Dreamer is a fantasy game that involves getting from one start point to an end point. Utilizing the same flipping system seen in Gravity Guy, Mr. Dreamer has players flip their character around surfaces to avoid obstacles.
The difference lies in an additional challenge in Mr. Dreamer, whereby users have to keep flipping their characters to ensure that it does not run upside down. This adds a significant degree of difficulty to the game as it makes it harder for the stages to be completed. Challenge ahead!
As far as the visuals of the game are concerned, this is a child fantasy game where the graphics are simply drawn and animated cartoons that are very cute indeed. Mr. Dreamer will appeal casual gamers of all ages.
For $0.99, Mr. Dreamer is indeed interesting enough to justify its cost. I would recommend this one for purchase.
