Description
An addictive and challenging SNES style block-building platform/puzzler where you control the cute little blue character, Zep, and help him navigate through an obstacle-filled dreamland.
Use Zep's magical power to create or destroy blocks in order to help you change the landscape and reach each dream's exit. Easier said than done! Zep's abilities are powerful, but he can't build things wherever he wants. The dreamland is filled with dead-zones that prevent Zep from being able to conjure up blocks. These, and many other obstacles will block Zep's path.
It's up to you to determine the best (and sometimes only) way to get around them in order to help him wake up.
Challenge yourself against all 50 original Zep's Dreamland levels, as well as 51 brand new iPhone-exclusive levels for beginners and veterans alike!

Unique and fun, this puzzle/platformer demands your attention
I'd describe Zep's dreamLand as a puzzle/platformer. The worlds are reminiscent of SNES platformers, and Zep has to make it to the red exit in every level. The obstacle here would be that Zep cannot fly, Zepp cannot jump, Zep can only walk left and right. He can also fall. So, to make it to the exit instead you have to use your dream power to create blocks. You can create up blocks by swiping up to elevate Zep, and you can also create down blocks to plug holes as well as level blocks to walk over. You can only draw dream power at certain points, I can't create blocks while standing on one, while standing on one of the red dead zone blocks or while in tunnels, so there is definitely more strategy and puzzle elements involved for anyone thinking Zep is simply a platformer that animates jumps as blocks. This is not the case. The controls are very simple, touch left to go left, touch right to go right, and swipe in the direction of the block you want to make. Want to make a block to plug the gap in your path? Face it and swipe. Want to create a combo of blocks to get distance and then travel across? Swipe left, then swipe up. You can also erase your blocks by standing on or looking at them. Your goal is to make it to the red exit portal. There will also be teleports that you can play around with. The game has 101 levels. Zep's dreamLand is a great puzzle/platform game that seems very polished and thought out. Given the fact that it's priced at only $0.99, Zep's dreamLand is certainly a bang for your buck. From the tutorial, which is broken up into several pieces and is very, very thorough, to the worlds and the game mechanics, it's obvious a lot of thought and care went into this game. Zep's dreamLand has definitely earned itself a spot on my favorite games screen and a lot of my gaming time. It's a bit of a platformer, a bit of a brain teaser, and a lot of fun, so I recommend it to anyone who's looking for something other than another puzzle or action game on the iPhone.
Fun puzzle game
I found Zep's Dreamland after playing through Arctopia, a somewhat-similar puzzle game. Zep's Dreamland is great for playing on the bus/train ride to work, or whenever you're bored and have 10-20 minutes to play a level. The interface is turn-based and works great with the iPhone interface. I have a couple minor complaints (sometimes I move when I don't want to, and there's apparently no ability to either skip or go back to specific levels; it's solely linear, which is unfortunate). That said, still 5 stars. The game is fun, quick to learn, and quite difficult to complete (it'll take maybe ~10-15 hours at my current pace).
Great puzzle game with a new twist
This is a fantastic, unique puzzle game with some great level design that really make you think in order to figure out the solutions. My only gripe with the game is sometimes the controls don't do exactly what I want them to. It's rare, but it does happen. Otherwise this is a fantastic game, especially for the price!
