Lucid Dash

In this movement rich 2D platformer, you take on the role of a female protagonist who gets trapped in a never ending nightmare.  Only after discovering what lies at the end, can you know the true goal of how to escape. 

Will you be able to escape the nightmares? Play to find out...

(ASD) to move | (W) or (Space) to Jump

(Esc) - skip cut scene

(R) - Restart level 

If pressing (S  + left/right movement + jump) doesn't work for bullet jump replace (S) with either (down arrow) or (left ctrl) - its a multi input issue for some keyboards

Our Goal for the jam was to just beat the dead line and submit a game, and you reading this means we reached our goal. We are happy and proud of what we accomplished together in the GMTK 2026 Game jam! 

For everyone involved in this project it was their very first game jam AND first time developing a game.
