Nice so far.
Hey, is that teleport sound effect from DOOM 2? I'm pretty sure it's the same one the Icon of Sin uses when spawning its evil thoughts... ;)

Very nice. The scary effects were unexpected, but certainly fit the time of the year. ;)
I've got to admit I liked the first two better, though, simply because they had more coloring etc.; the plot-based interactions in this game were nice, too, but whereas the first two were novel and provided a different take on jump'n'run games, this one was more traditional.
Not that that's a bad thing in itself, mind you: but I enjoyed the more alternative approach of the first two more, and I also think that moving closer to "regular" jump'n'run adventures like Knytt or William and Sly also means you'll have to add more puzzles and generally make the game longer and more complicated in order to make it work.
As long as it's mostly an art game, closer to an interactive movie than anything else, a lack of puzzles, short time needed for completion etc. is perfectly fine, of course, but once you try to be something other than that, you've also got other standards to live up to.
So I rather felt that this game was neither fish nor fowl. I still liked it quite a bit, but I hope that in the next installation - if there's going to be one - the focus is going to be on coloring and "unnecessary" interactions with the environment again.
But yeah, all in all, 8/10. :)

Thanks for a detailed response~! =D
You pretty much got it right on. This whole thing was one off. Future works WILL have more puzzle based elements, BUT also stick to the traditional concepts as well. The only reason this one is different is because it is a dream, hence why I threw the majority of the original concepts inside the first level.
Thank-you VERY much for your review~ ^,,^

Very confusing launch. The first installment of this game was OK; this second one, though, isn't all that great, especially since it doesn't really seem to add anything new.

The original name is "Sailor's Hornpipe", I think. If you had ever listened to Tubular Bells, you'd know. ;)

Nice one! Somewhat reminiscent of The Legend of Zelda's "Underworld" theme, but that's a good thing, since I like that game a lot. ^_~
