About Little Nemo: The Dream Master

Little Nemo: The Dream Master is a platformer that adapts its characters and visual style from an early 20th century comic strip. The protagonist, a boy named Nemo, is called from London to the fantastical Slumberland.

His mission there is to rescue the kidnapped King, a task given by Princess Camille after the King was taken by the Prince of Nightmares. The game's environments, which include areas like a Mushroom Forest and Train Land, reflect its dream-like setting.

Gameplay involves using candy to temporarily disable hostile creatures. The same candy can also be given to certain friendly animals, which then allow Nemo to ride them. Utilizing creatures such as apes and moles is central to navigating the varied landscapes of the game.
