The Trials of Hypnos is a Third Person stationary shooter, themed around the concept of sleeping. You play as the Greek God Hypnos, god of Sleeping, Dreaming, and the subconscious. The Player Himself has gone to sleep for the night, and its your job to make sure no one disturbs his slumber. This means utilising a multitude of Mythological and Futuristic Weapons to defend The Player from nightmares. Hypnos is basically a stationary turret at the bottom of the screen, and players must rotate him to hit the multitude of incoming bad dreams and nightmares coming down from the top, each with their own erratic movement, but all trying to get to the bottom of the screen to wake The Player up. The Player can take 10 hits from Nightmares before he wakes up in abject terror. As the game progresses, along with weapon power ups, Hypnos can attain other Special abilities, such as a Bounce Shield to deflect Nightmares for a few seconds, or a Mind Purge, to clear all Nightmares from the board. But watch out! Good Dreams can also fall down from the top of the screen. These add more hit points to the player, but can still be attacked and destroyed by Hypnos's Weapons and Specials. Can you Conquer The Trials of Hypnos, and get a good nights sleep?
