Well, nice red herring with the you-know-what. I wish there was a way to key through the text, it got tiresome reading it over and over again and again. But really cool concept and good puzzles, great job!
Interesting. I don't think I can give you points for minimalism though. Graphics were all right aside from the plain red square. I played it all the way through, so I can at least say it was pretty fun. Could probably be more obvious about the fact that using pills next to the tub won't put you to sleep though. Good job overall.
Pretty cool game. Controls were a bit confusing, but it was fun. Good job :)
The dialogue boxes had very long delays, but I REALLY enjoyed the concept. After about 8 frustrating minutes though, I never beat it...
I like the concept. Innovative. A bit dark for my tastes though. I was able to take care of the pills, but wasn't sure what to do with the rest of it. Great effort!
It reminded me of my game, where you also have to prevent deaths in the night.
Also a bug I think: I took a bath while holding the hair dryer, and it still worked the next day. Alright puzzle game though.
What a different approach of what an Sleepwalker can do :) I made a platform game and you went for an adventure-puzzle game. Quite cool actually good job ;)
A cool idea, but the control scheme was very frustrating to use. The challenge in the game resulted more from fighting the interface in the limited time than in solving the puzzle.
Innovative puzzler. Would be more accessible with fewer keys to remember, or just point and click, or key hints hover over nearby objects. Good job doing something unusual
interesting idea, but as others stated, I don't really get the minimalism theme...
interesting i missed some sound a main character but i like the concept Good job!
Cool! I had to experiment with different deaths a few times, but it seemed very intuitive and I learned where to place what quickly. Nice little brain teaser this was, good going!
Good idea, but having to restart from the beginning is tedious; it would be nice to be able to accelerate the night time. The game froze at the bath time. The instuctions said to use y but y does nothing.

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Interesting puzzle game. I wish it was a little more intuitive how to interact with things. Got stuck trying to open the medicine cabinet.
