Nightmare Cops is an upcoming 2D platforming brawler video game developed by Tom Fulp and Jeff "JohnnyUtah" Bandelin under Newgrounds.
The game takes place in a town overseen by a police force tasked with entering and combating the inhabitants' nightmares.
Levels contain platforming segments and boss fights, and are accessible through an overworld in the "real world" which you navigate in the crew's van.
