Dream Trigger 3D

Gameplay is complex and focused on sonar pings. The bottom screen features a grid that players tap with the stylus to position sonar pings. A rhythmic sonar wipe moves across the screen, and where ever the player tapped the screen, a sonar signal is activated. This is necessary because all enemies are generally invisible, and cannot be attacked unless a sonar signal makes them visible. Careful planning, and a strict attention to detail are necessary to lay pings in anticipation of enemy movements, and in order to constantly move the player character out of the way of enemy attacks.

SUCCESSFULLY PINGING ENEMIES FILLS AN ATTACK METER TO GIVE PLAYERS AMMUNITION. ATTACKING IS PERFORMED USING ANY OF SEVERAL DIFFERENT BUTTONS ON THE 3DS, INCLUDING L & R BUTTONS, BUT CAN ALSO BE DONE TAPPING THE EDGES OF THE TOUCH SCREEN. PLAYERS MUST REVEAL ENEMIES BY PINGING THEM, THEN ATTACKING AND DEFEATING THEM QUICKLY BY HOLDING DOWN AN ATTACK BUTTON AND MOVING THE PLAYER CHARACTER ( ALSO ACTING AS A CURSOR ) OVER ENEMIES.

The game has various modes, including World Map Mode, Free Play, Time Attack, and local wireless versus mode for two players with two Nintendo 3DS systems.
