*NEW AMBERMAS AVATARS*
served with pastiche Christmas song quotes
COAL AVATAR
He sees you when you’re playing, he knows when you’re in game, he knows when you’ve been bad or good, so be good, for goodness sake!
BAUBLE AVATAR
Christmas Eve will find me, where the Bauble Avatar gleams. I’ll be playing Amberial for Christmas, if only in my dreams.

TODAY IS THE BIG DAY.
Amberial Dreams has now launched to Steam on PC for 6.99 USD/EUR. BUT, in our world, good news come in twos. So, until October 25, as a celebration of our Early Access launch, the game will have a 15% discount!
If you are discovering Amberial Dreams today, welcome, you are now a Dreamer! And a Roller, too. You are about to enter a cosmic precision platformer packed with rhythmic contraptions, arcade platforming and colourful worlds! We hope you will love being with us, in our world filled with wonders and wicked levels.
WHAT'S AMBERIAL DREAMS YOU SAY?
SIMPLE YET SKILLED
Amberial Dreams is a simple yet challenging precision platformer set in a dream-like evolving world. Roll left and right, using your momentum and terrain features to bounce through deadly traps, pixel perfect jumps or atmospheric levels. Explore the story at your own pace, compete on online leaderboards, or create and share your own levels! Join us in rediscovering the Amberial hit series after four flash titles.
RESTORE THE BALANCE, ONE WORLD AT A TIME
Throughout the campaign, you will embody the avatar of Amber, one of the Dreamers, shapers of this universe. The other Dreamers have disappeared leaving you alone against a growing corruption. Witness the sinister changes that have occurred during your long slumber and find a way to restore balance, one world at a time. Roll through an even greater challenge in the Spire of Trials. A collection of infamous and wicked levels, putting even veterans to the test.
ONE OF THE BEST LEVEL EDITORS
Amberial Dreams features one of the most complete level editor tools in the platformer genre. Everything is usable by the community up to the levels themselves.
A powerful level editor allowing players to modify each campaign level or create their own.
An advanced curation system to find the best levels quickly through tags, endorsement and notes.
Dozens of unique community levels already available, and many more to come.
LEVEL EDITOR TIPS & TRICKS
Play with levels you already beat. You can use the template of any level you have beaten. Explore the possibilities!
Have fun with the physical properties! A lot of elements have different properties, modifying how they work. You can always move them to the foreground or background to add extra spice!
A GAME WE WANT TO BUILD WITH YOU
Based on its four predecessors and the feedbacks of two million players, Amberial Dreams keeps the same dynamic. Throughout the Early Access, we will release regular patches and major content updates with gameplay elements, levels, quality of life improvements as well as new tools for the community. We want the players to be part of what defines the game, and of the priorities of our updates thanks to their feedback and comments! Join our official Amberial Dreams Discord Server to ask questions, provide feedback, suggest new features and more.
STARTING TIPS
To get the ball rolling! (Yep, I just did that.)
CONTROL YOUR MOMENTUM
On the ground or even mid-air, you can modify your speed and trajectory. The faster you will roll, the less accurate you will be, but the farther you will go.
USE THE TERRAIN TO YOUR ADVANTAGE
Knowing how to use the terrain, elements and contraptions around to speed you up, slow you down or make you jump to your destination will make everything easier.
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
The obvious way might not be the best one. Many levels offer shortcuts for those who dare!
TAKE A BREAK
Harder levels can be frustrating at first, give it some time! Be kind to yourself, take a break, sip some tea or coffee and get back to it once you're ready to crack your knuckles and tackle the challenge at hand. Also, you don’t need to beat every level to progress through the campaign. You might learn some helpful tricks down the line!
