Microgames-style collection Dreams of Aether announced

Publisher Aether Studios and developer Lepioid announced Dreams of Aether, a new microgames style collection of games inspired by their Aether series.

Dreams of Aether is now available for Windows PC (via Steam) and is currently entirely free until 1PM on April 2nd, after which it will cost $2.99.

Here’s a rundown on the new game, plus a trailer:

Dreams of Aether is a short and sweet cluster of fast-paced, seconds-long microgames! Starring characters from all over Aether, from legendary figures like Zetterburn and Orcane, to the humble Pyrewing and Florpian. Punch, Flap, and Swing your way through the dubiously-canon story, and see how far you can get in endless modes!

Absa, the Storm Architect from the far-off Tempest Peak, finds herself trapped in an eternal dream world. And things are getting WEIRD! Why can’t she wake up? What’s with all of these out-of-body experiences? What’s this piñata doing here? Why am I asking YOU all these questions?

THE LORE

Absa! She’s in this one! It’s not a fakeout! Dan Fornace-approved, i think?

• 5 stages of Aether-flavored microgames!
• Go for high scores in endless modes of every stage!
• A new original soundtrack directed by flashygoodness!
