The Time I Shifted to a Dream Dimension and Gambled Against Puppets for My Freedom

That devious Pastoriche has created another nightmare realm and trapped you and everyone in it! The only way out is to challenge your fellow skremplets to games of Sparkle, gain powers through wins, and confront Pastoriche. As a master Sparkle player this should be a cakewalk!

The Time I Shifted to a Dream Dimension and Gambled Against Puppets for My Freedom was created for the 2025 Robot Party Game Jam by littlekittenbit, PunkRockGlock, and MayorMcFrumples. Full credits are at the bottom of the page!

This game is played with just your mouse. 

This game also has some pretty heavy load times. The game might freeze up from time to time (usually early on), but give it a few seconds to sort itself out! Freeze-ups usually occur after leaving the title screen, after the first cutscene, the first time you chat with someone, and when you enter the Sparkle room.

The yellow arrows on the map indicate where you can go next, but you don't necessarily click on them to progress to the next area. When you hover your mouse over the section that will move you to the next map it will turn into an arrow itself. (I hope that's clear.)

CHEATS

While on map:

Ctrl+clicking on an arrow will auto-teleport you to the next room

8 : drop your HP to 1 (because you want to see all your opponent's celebrations)

9 : HP+1

0 : Reroll +1

+ (numpad) : add time to the clock

- (numpad) : drop clock to 3 seconds

Home : go to the upgrades screen

In the upgrade screen type "D" for the DSD coin

During a Sparkle match "0" will insta-defeat the player. "9" will insta-defeat the opponent.
