In Little Nemo: The Dream Master, the player controls Nemo, as he proceeds through 2D levels. In each level, Nemo must collect a specific number of keys, which are generally scattered throughout the rather large levels. The number of keys needed to beat each level is not indicated to the player until reaching the exit at the end of the level, which has a corresponding number of locks. The player must proceed through each level, typically left to right but also up and down, searching for keys. What makes the game unique is that throughout each level the player encounters several animals, which, after being fed, will allow Nemo to use their powers. Using the powers of some these animals is necessary, while others simply make things a little easier.
