Its just amazing, the soundtrack is beautiful, the art and the story is pretty cute :smile:

Just one minor perfectionist detail: I would recommend you leave a little space between lines on the dialogs, some times is a bit hard to read

Wow. Funny dragons! Nice graph, but to many text with poor font - hard to read. I love changing things. Very pleased with the mechanics. Beatiful quest! :)

Wow... just, _awesome_ game. The entire time I was playing it almost felt like a fully released game.

The graphics are on point, such nice detail it's almost unbelievable. The music really fits the mood as well. And unlike some other developers it didn't feel like you sacrificed gameplay and mechanics for this. In fact, the trade mechanic alone might be worked out more than some other games in their entirety.

I played the entire game, managed to get a score of 129,030 coins. No idea if that is a lot, but it was fun! The voice lines are great as well. "I can pull better stuff out of my hat" had me laughing :)

So, since this game is amazing, I only have a few minor nitpicks to give:

The text has a good font and size, but it felt the lines were glued together. Perhaps give a bit of space between every line so it is easier to distinguish every line. The slime was very fun as well but in my head all slimes are green :)

Overall a very great game, I'm interested to see what you make next!

@rodel77 @bloodjohn @winnie33 You are correct about font. I've corrected the issue for readability.

First off, big props on that humor, spot on! The skeleton and ghosts had some real winners. I got a score of 137000 on my second play through thanks to the price evaluation perk, which turns the game into "get the biggest number." But i genuinely had a fun time! I just wish the ui was done a little differently, I did enjoy the style of everything, but found it hard to remember what everybody was selling, or what exactly i had. This made it difficult to make any plans for who I was going to sell what to. Overall I had a good time, thank you! p.s. nice touch with how the kobolds treat dragons ;)
