History VideoGame / BabiesDreamOfDeadWorlds

The game is designed in an 8-bit style. In each {{Metroidvania}}-style segment you play as a winged StarfishAlien of an unnamed species that resembles a small rodent with butterfly wings. There are three major characters: Fuzor, a young racer, Mell, a researcher, and Naaij, an archaeologist, coloured [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience blue, red and yellow respectively]] and their daily lives on their unnamed home planet...or home dimension. Throughout the game you can interact with computers, talk to other StarfishAliens, beat a time trial, and even engage in a collect-a-thon.

AlienGeometries: The characters' world appears to be an empty void based around a straight line, with gravity growing stronger the further away from the line one becomes. This is reasonably well-explored: The characters themselves are bilaterally symmetrical, and one NPC complains of having to use the world's slingshot mechanics to get to their apartment on the "outer" floor.

* {{Filler}}: Only Mell's stages actually advance the plot in any meaningful way, Fuzor and Naaij's levels are just there to challenge the player.

** "The world is falling apart."

* BabiesMakeEverythingBetter: '''{{Averted}} hard.''' The levels you play are the dreams of human infants...whose undeveloped brains apparently carry with them memories of the dying days of a civilisation or possibly an ''entire universe''.

Being as the game is very short, spoilers will be left '''unmarked'''. Go and play the game before reading on. The game is hosted on {{Newgrounds}} [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/526456 here]] and on the creator's own website [[http://ludusnovus.net/my-games/babies-dream-of-dead-worlds/ here]].

* AmbiguousEnding/DownerEnding: Though we don't actually see it there's the ''strong'' implication that by the end all the major characters are or will be dead.

* Deconstruction: Of "obstacle course"-style Flash games. What if obstacles like portals and rips in the fabric of time and space became unstable? What repercussions would that have for the universe?

** Probably not intentional, but the game definitely has a ''[[VideoGame/MOTHER]]''-like feel, with its childlike imagery but depressing plot.
