Good graphics, good patterns on the food.

Hey great job with the game I had alot of fun playing!

An issue I found though was I was able to camp at the very bottom of the screen and rack up a huge score (don't know if that's cheating but it could be offset by creating a border around the screen to stop the dragon going that far and missing the action!)

Loved the dragon and food graphics and your interpretation of the theme - Too much food is a bad thing :yum:

Cheers!

I had a lot of fun playing this little game! It's a little short, but it's still cute.

A couple things:

* The game opened up in a really tiny window on my high DPI screen (I have a Surface Pro 4, running at resolution 2736x1824). There wasn't anywhere to make the window bigger or anything, so I'm not sure if it was just always supposed to be that size or if it was a bug.

* During the tutorial, I wish there was a button I could press to skip just this one bit of dialogue (like how you can press a button to make a character finish what they're saying in RPGs). I didn't want to skip the whole tutorial, but I did just want to move on to the next bit, since just waiting there not pressing a button is kind of boring. Once I actually had to learn how to play the game, it didn't need it so badly, but that waiting bit at the beginning was kind of boring.

I feel like this could be a cute little mobile game if you put some more polish into it. Good work!

I loved this! It's a simple concept, but it works well! The music is great too. The tutorial was a bit confusingly-written, though, and it would have been better to press a key instead of waiting. That said, this was quite fun, and the graphics look great as well!

I love the artwork and music. The "gravity" forces get a bit too strong too quickly, it feels like after only two or three bites, you're guaranteed to lose. But that doesn't stop the game from being great!

@ponchoguy Thanks for your feedback! :D Added your suggestion to the coming-soon list. 100 thousands seems a great score for me! But this doesn't beat the staff's high score. You can try harder lol

@Jay2645 Thank you for your suggestions! I too think it would be good to add a button for the dialogs, added this to the coming-soon list. However the resolution problem is hard to fix because the coding and level design was based on that 800x600 viewport... Yes it is kinda upset to say we can't do this, sorry.

Nice idea for the theme. Kindof like a bullet hell but where getting hit puts you into a bit of a death spiral. Clear graphics, fun music.

I liked the approach to the theme and control design. Congratulations for the game.

Gostei da abordagem ao tema e do design do controle. Parabéns pelo jogo. :flag_br:

Cute game! Not sure if it was a bug, or intended, but the dragon stopped following the mouse after he got a bit of that yummy looking food. He sort of still followed, but not very well. The Dragon getting bigger each time he eats something is already good enough to make the game hard, and fun, throwing in that loss of control really only frustrated me.

Why I'm so bad at this kind of games... Great job !!

jjjjason 2017-12-08 06:22

Perhaps one of the cutest bullet hell games??

Really adorable art and music. Good, simple use of the theme too. I do kind of agree with @derek-brouwer that the game sort of punishes you for losing, which makes it very hard! It's definitely a game where you should avoid hitting anything at all costs.

Hey guys, really awesome entry here!

I just love the cute little (or big) guy :smile: The graphics were very well done and the audio is very addicting. The gamplay itself was very entertaining and has a good replay value. Thank you for this I had a really good time :)

Overall great job!
