Dreams of Aether (Steam)

Dreams of Aether is the latest game in the Aether Universe, and was available for free for a brief duration at launch. The game is meant to be analogous to WarioWare - and it does a rather decent job at emulating the style. I found the characters to be quirky and well designed, and the sound design to be enjoyable. The minigames are very simple, and designed for a controller layout - perfect for the Steam Deck. While the simplicity makes for an easy platinum/completion, it leaves one wanting a bit more depth and challenge. Presentation is quite solid for a Rivals of Aether spinoff game! I'm enticed me to try Lovers of Aether...

Play it for the:

Quirky Rivals of Aether characters
WariowWare-like (warelike) gameplay
vibrant, bright, and trans-coded artwork
