Tiny Dancer

engulfed in the soft bed

mother's voice narrating the tale of the nutcracker

while rosie falls asleep

dance across the stage

dodge the enemies

the dream of the tiny dancer

as you fall asleep

and delve deeper in the world of child like fantasy

tire yourself out

dont stop moving

or else the beautiful dream may transform into a nightmare

how to traverse the dream of the tiny dancer:

Tiny Dancer is a shoot 'em up style game, which focuses on the fluidity of movement and elegance. In this game the player plays as Rosie, a little child who loves to dance. The game takes place in the evening, when Rosie's mom reads her a bedtime story of the nutcracker. While slowly falling asleep the imagination of Rosie becomes richer and is reflected in this game.
