They game was fun and had nice details loved the auto spawning. Endless fun of fire.

Nice idea. I love the blocky designs of everything.

The idea is great. Was fun to play for a short while but got pretty repetetive.

A fun idea, good controls, and a cool Darwinia aesthetic! The engine is all there - it just needs player feedback and balancing to bring it home.

Who knew burning everything could so much fun, the game is far from complete but this is a lot you can do with this. You may want to check their growth, I noticed some slowdown when the map was covered in purple guys. Great work!

Nice physics!

Oh god, what wouldn't I give to have one of these dragons during LoTR games! Haha! Cool concept, when do we see more?

The spawn rate of the enemies is pretty out of control. But I think this is a pretty cool idea. I enjoy your usage of the unity primitive objects.

Fire seemed to move a bit more slowly than one might expect!

Woah! Im a powerful dragon! Great idea! We try to get our version for OSX soon!

Would love to see more of this game!

Nice idea, though it soon became unplayable for me due to out-of-control spawning.

I couldn't protect the village. It seemed like I only had a little time to burn the first orc camp before the next few spawned, and if I tried to burn the orcs, I would set the village on fire. Then the villagers died, the orcs stopped attacking, but the game didn't tell me I lost.

This could be really fun if it felt more finished. I think if the dragon was faster, the orcs were further away, and there was a way to attack without causing friendly fire, it could be a great game.

THATCH-ROOFED COTTAGES!!!</trogdor>

This game SO needs some kind of metal soundtrack. The only other thing I'd like to suggest is having the dragon point towards the orcs at the onset...somehow I mistook the village for my target. ^_^;

This is a good idea but the lack of audio, or any indication of success/failure is a downer. It seems like the enemy camps spawn really fast. I think a polished post-compo version could be really fun, though!

I just didn't get this. The fire seemed to do nothing, even when I did manage to set the orcs on fire, the orc huts spawned constantly, including inside of the villager huts, and they wiped the villagers out in a matter of seconds, and being that I can't do anything to them, there really was no point in me being present.

rojo 2013-12-20 11:46

Cool idea! The spawn rate seems a bit quick, though.

cardboard 2013-12-21 00:06

There is no hope for the villagers at the current ork spawn rate. :p I played the updated version and you seem to be on the right track. I think the dragon should turn, and possibly move, a bit faster. The graphics are nice and simple.

archaeometrician 2013-12-31 00:23

Cool game :) The graphics are well done, I was reading your post and I totally agree with you, even a simple graphic idea can take a lot of time to draw ;) The gameplay/mechanic is interesting, great work !

isaacmarco 2013-12-31 16:09

good idea, but the game it starts to go very slow over time

diptoman 2014-01-03 14:03

This seriously needed better control over the dragon. And balance, the orc spawning rate is too high! though that's an issue with the time restraints, so it's ok. The orcs...it was really hard to tell which ones you had already killed. And wuh...why did they spawn right in the village!? My poor villagers ;_;
Anyways, had fun playing this xD!
