Sleep is Death
About:Sleep is death is an independent game.
It's different to all other games because this one allows you to do whatever you want.
How does that work, you say?
Well, this is a two player only game. One player plays as the controller and the other one, simply plays as the player. The controller's task is to fulfill the players wishes in game by drawing them.
Example of controller: Say you give your player the sprite of an old man that is included with the game.
You don't like his eye colour though.
So you edit the sprite to give him green eyes. You then use the room editor to make a living room. Your player's sprite spawns in the couch. You place an NPC there, his wife.
You edit her speech bubble to say "I'm getting hungry, dear."
You also give them a Christmas tree.
Example of player:Your character spawns in a couch in a living room. Your char's wife tells you that she is getting hungry.
You can choose either you want to go to the kitchen and prepare supper, or light fire to the bloody tree.
If your twisted, sick mind tells you, "LIGHT THE TREE DAMMIT!" then the controller must draw a sprite of fire and place it on the tree. It is burning.
You get 30 seconds each. The controller must edit speech bubbles and sprites and rooms and the player must write his characters speech, move him around and write verbs to interact.
Result? Insane stories!
I must admit, although fun, this game is different. A lot of people wont like it!
Please, don't spam this topic telling us that! It's unique. We know!

To conclude, it's a fun, although different experience. Give it a try!
I want to play with someone. None of my friends like games, only sports. :C
