DreamBound - a Kirby RPG Prequel [Demo 4]

夢の物語 [ＤＥＭＯ ４] ： ｗｅｌｃｏｍｅ ｔｏ Ｍｏｕｎｔ Ｄｅｅ
"DreamBound: a Kirby RPG Prequel" is a pixel art fan game based on the untold tales which happened before Kirby's Dream Land.
You'll follow little Dedede and his friends on their journey to stop Dark Matter with the Dream power of the Star Rod! Its battle system is a mix between Mother 3 and Paper Mario.
This is actually just an animation, not a real game, but if you've been fooled by watching it, well, I'm glad the illusion worked!

[Demo 4] : Mt. Dee
The team is near Dream Land and finds on their way funny people called Dees! These poor creatures are at war because of the March Dees' clan, led by General Dee who wants to rule the whole planet by force.
His brother, Great Dee, flees the fights with his Waddle Dees to seek peace. He rescued the team by hiding them in Mount Dee, but are they really safe in this place?

The fact that this isn’t an actual game makes me so sad
Like the thought of this being real makes me so happy but it just isnt

[Lepharmory]

I really like how Lilili's moveset references obscure powers Dedede used in the spin-offs.

[faedwill]

Literally everything about this is perfect; the subtle world building, the character expressions, the on-point sound effects, just everything. Also, is the dance a mix of Mother 3's dance and Kirby's victory dance?

[aspenleef]

The Dee Door put a big stupid grin on my face,
I knew exactly what was going to happen, and I enjoyed every second of it.

[ffgguhyyt]

this NEEDS to be a real fangame. I mean- LOOK AT THE ANIMATIONS!!1!1!1!!1 this is so well made. i hope this becomes real one day.

[snivyservine]

More button inputs required for En Garde compared to the first demo, interesting.
Would that have correlated to Meta Knight getting stronger or leveling up, or is that just a change made since the first?
Lilli getting hit by a Screen KO from the punch is funny, that's just great. Good stuff, all of it is just so good.

[spinyjustspiny]

I love that Dedede's attacks as an adult are split between him and Lilili. It implies a great amount of growth and respect for her on his end later on.

[Axecon]

I've never wanted a fan game idea to be more real than this!

[shaunm]

Literally, everything is perfect about this demo. The world building, the characterizations, the art style, and backgrounds. There should be a fifth demo.

[thechocochicken]

This is amazing! From the attacks to even Lilili getting punched onto the screen to the Wess Dance reference, this is overall just such a cool scene! I love the nods towards the Mario RPG series with the way the stars show damage and total at the end of each special attack too!

[starblast]

I know that it's an animation, but honestly if it was a full on game, I'd play the hell out of it.

[MagoDraws]

I really hope that we can get a Kirby RPG styled after these demo videos one day

[pavret]

The more demos you make, the more incredible they are

[marsybarz]

oh my god the wess dance and kirby dance-
I can see where the battle system took inspiration from, bonus points for kirby mass attack and m&l music

[lasagna]

I love the idea of the star rod working like the Dream Nail from Hollow Knight!

[Thunderfire]

This is just divinely beautiful and awe-inspiring. I don't get why certain gamers demand games with hugely powerful graphics when such majestic art as this exists with pure skill.

[NerdKirby]

This just keeps getting better and better, I really love it and its potential keeps on giving, amazing job! Also, crazy to think this project is around a year old now.

[LightMetaS]

I am utterly floored by your animations, and this is literally such an enchanting version of the Kirby universe. It really is a damn travesty that this isn't a real thing. If possible I think a game developer would be so lucky to work with you to have something like this produced, even just for the fans of the community. It's insane that you don't have more attention on it.

[Rop]

This is so fucking great is unbelievable, all the little details, sounds, animations, desing everything

[adrigl]

A RPG game, with Earthbound fights, with Mario & Luigi/old paper Mario activate attack inputs and puzzle combat, with all the cuteness and charm of Kirby, and maybe a pinch of Undertale?!

This is a master piece, both in art style and the execution of its ideas, if this was a real game I would buy it on a heart beat, congratulations for this beautiful animation!
