Original and crazy game. I like crazy things.
I have noticed how bad at maths I am...
I love the image of a dragon sitting in its study with a cup of coffee, working on this after a long day of trampling villages and eating knights.
I enjoyed this more than filing my real tax return.
Oh dear god, I hope paying taxes isn't like this in real life
BY THE GODS...YES
This is why i love Jams, where else would we see a tax return game? Based on Fantasy?
It's really really complex and i'm amazed you've pulled it off in two days. 5/5 in inovation for sure.
The writing is terrific and surprisingly I had lots of fun.
Very original.
This is great! Awesome job!
Really sweet graphics for a tax preparation game.
Oh god, so intimidating! Haha.
I wrote in the "do not write" space. The writing made me giggle.
The time limit is brutal, but really make you feel the pressure. By putting all the elements together you can see all the red tape a dragon would have to go through.
This is hilarious. I did miss a "Set fire to paperwork" button.
Ah ah nice one !!! Paperwork is the real monster here
Featured here!

Very Funny!
Played for about 2 minutes before my brain imploded. Original and fun game! 5/5.
Oh my lord... I... Uhm... Doing your taxes seems really really difficult...
This is pretty hilarious. I would think dragons would have to capture some human to get them to write all this out. It would be torturous and they would probably beg to be eaten before it was over. I, however would rather do a dragon's tax return than my own.
this was awesome! It is a real shame that there is no sound, It. Great game! May the dragon god have mercy on your soul.
This is why I love Ludum Dare.
NICE! A tax return form! Such a responsible dragon. I didn't know dragons do tax return. I thought I am gonna breathe fire onto those.
Silly Dragon, doesn't he know his Smartphone has a calculator app for some basics.
Fantastic satire, as a Brit I've often wondered what it'd be like to be doing an American tax return form. Now I know!
Weirdest and goofiest game I've played so far!
Fantasy very complex game. A lot of effort was put into this game for sure. Congratulations. I Loved the idea.
It should be a sin to make a game like this and NOT port it to the mac. Shame on you.
Overpaid by some 8900 G. My poor head.
Hahah, I want to know who think's doing tax forms are fun!
Very interesting take on the theme. Hard game though!
Like Papers, Please, but more soul crushing.
Great idea, reminiscent of Papers Please, but very different and original. I failed badly, though, because of course I wrote in the 'Do Not Write' space!
brilliant. Simply brilliant. This is a hilarious idea which is executed on spectacularly well. The random generation helps prevent players from memorizing the procedures and keeps runs interesting, the option to request 5 more minutes adds a nice forgiving element that many jam games benefit from, the presentation is clean and manageable, and the writing adds a ton of character.
On top of all this, the post-jam print and play mode is a stroke of genius. At 20 pages a game, I can't say I'll be playing often, but I definitely want to try this thing out with friends at least once.
Well done, friend, well done.
I love the idea! It's fun to play, I wish there was more :) I just messed up one line...
Awesome idea =D
Not a game for me...didn't like the joke and was bored staring at papers. I never felt monstrous for completing the tax return, if anything it felt conformist and dull.
WOW haha great game!
This would be a fun game to speed run
Whoa, that was a very unique approach to the theme, I like that!
Raally good! Excel was very useful ^^"
There's SO MUCH PRESSURE ! The idea is great !
My brain just exploded from gathering the documents to open my own company in real life, this one is nuts! And really well done! :P
It's just as complex as tax forms here in Brazil. I would've needed at least 2 days to gather courage to make this game, and I'd never be able to think about doing this. So that's some nice work you've done! :3
A dragon might be a monster, but taxes are really an even bigger monster! :P
I probably enjoyed this way more than filling real tax forms, which are -for the most of it- just as daunting, but way less entertaining.
Loved your take on the theme and if I were to change anything on this
game, would be adding music and probably an in-game calc.
Anyway, excellent work. Loved this one :)
