So I squeezed and squeezed, going through up to four versions of some images, in an attempt to get it under 20MB. But I realised it was going to be too big to download. It used beautiful uncompressed photographic images and plenty of audio. 7) Optimisation is a BIG dealĪt one point early on, the game was 80MB. So I took out two of the songs and left in 'Pirate Queen', resulting in a 12+. Plus there's a spider in one of the levels that is more than a little scary, if that sort of thing bothers you. 'Pirate Queen' has a reference to alcohol, 'Hot On Your Tail' has mild innuendo and 'Feeling Before' contains the line 'I called the nurse / she made it worse / she raised my temperature / and halfway through I had to ask.' which is pretty suggestive. Why? The radio in the kitchen was originally programmed to play one of three random songs by yours truly. But when I came to thinking about what was actually in it when submitting for the age rating, I realised it was going to have 'suggestive themes' 'alcohol or drugs reference' and 'mild fear/horror'.

On the surface, Squeak's Dreams looks like the most harmless game in the world.
