Worth mentioning that the code is probably covered with bad practice. I haven't 100% learned GameMaker but I really wanted to participate this time, so I went for results rather than learning everything bottom up.

Very cute graphics! I just wish it was a bit longer
Nice One. Very cool game. More Lvls woud have been nice.
Good sense of humor, I'd love to see the concept expanded on. Despite how short the game is it felt surprisingly good to actually reap the rewards of winning at stealth. meat.
Cute game. I feel like the stealth parts could have been more interesting or, at least, different. Also, what are the 7 different endings? Think I got the good one and some game over. Are there other ones?
@Ryunos Yeah, I was planning on doing different stealth segments but I gave up in the end because it became a lot harder for me to do than I thought it would lol
Technically there's 8 endings (I'm leaving the number at 7 because 2 of them might be hard to distinguish between), but there's 3 main endings and the other ones just have a different message at the very end depending on what you do.
@pixelbug Oooh ok, I'm going to try to get them all then!
It's a cute little game, but very light on actual gameplay and even story, which is a shame because I was expecting this game to be really story focused. The multiple endings, at least the ones I got, were also not substantial enough to justify playing through over and over again. They seem to just display a slightly different message at the end, but the story ends the exact same way. It's kind of like those movies on DVD where they advertise deleted scenes and other special features, and half of them are just 10 second bits of dialog that do nothing for the movie. Overall, a fun little jam game, and a good match for the theme, but quite small in scope.
@david-boeger Thanks for the feedback!
Since this was my first game jam (and actually the first game I've ever published, too) I decided to scope it down a lot because I didn't know how long it would take. The multiple endings were actually added on as extra (and was something I decided to do pretty late in development), so some of them literally were copy/pasted and edited.
Not using these as excuses, but these are the reasons for how it turned out.
I enjoyed this little game. Haven't played a game with non-pixel graphics in GameMaker that I know of before this one, so it was interesting to see. Mine's also a short cute game in GameMaker if you're interested.
I love the dragon! He/she is adorable.
Cute game! I'd really like to see it fleshed out more beyond a game jam.
I love to play games that are based on pet because I'm pet lover. We have 2 cats in my house and recenlty I buy best vacuum for cat litter from [spam] here you can also see many more thigns realted to pets. They provided good products that's I use this site always.
