Dreamstrokes

A girl falls asleep while someone reads her a bedtime story, and the story keeps going. In the dream the whole world is water, and she swims through all of it. Dreamstrokes is a cozy merge game drawn entirely in wax crayon. Drag two matching things together and watch them become one better thing. Serve the sea creatures who paddle up with requests. Then dive, and see what the deep gives back. MERGE THE DREAM Tap producers, drag matching items onto each other, and climb more than 200 hand-drawn items across 14 chains — dream fish, cocoa, ribbons, seashells, bath toys, keepsakes, and stranger ladders that only make sense while you are asleep. DIVE FOR THE REST Merging is the patient way. Diving is the other way. Spend a dive, swim a short expedition through the dream sea, and bring back a bag of fish that lands straight on your board. Dives refill on their own — and every order you fill pays out dream drops. Three drops make a dive. TEN SEA FRIENDS, TEN RIDICULOUS PROBLEMS Oscar the Orca is tired of being called a killer whale and would like his name cleared. Juno the Jellyfish lost all her colours and went transparent. Octavia the Octopus has just discovered she is lactose intolerant, and the reef was not warned. Leif the Leafy Sea Dragon wants to be a ribbon dancer. Sheldon the Sea Turtle is late for a party. Poppy the Narwhal is a competitive popping athlete looking for bigger things to pop. Bartholomew the Blue Whale does not fit through any door, so you build bigger doors. Every friend has a case, and every case is a merge chain. Finish the chain, close their story, meet the next one. DRAWN BY HAND Every fish, mug, ribbon and bubble here is a crayon drawing on paper — wobbly outlines, visible strokes, no smooth gradients anywhere. The girl is yours to name at the start, and she keeps that name for the rest of the dream.
