Loved the idea, the dragon is very cute. Music was chill as well.
Found the firefighter hard to use as it stopped moving whenever I used the fire extinguisher. Felt difficult to catch eggs with having to click with mouse on the dispenser while controlling where the dragon looked with mouse at same time. Very fun, will defiantly play again. Loved the anger / fire mechanic
@fiinrii thank you!
We had to cut corners with the firefighter, I don't like how it feels to control him either but it was the fastest way to implement.
As for difficulties with the mouse, you can also press E to interact. This might help you avoid unwanted mouse movements.
goood game)
It looks very nice)
like @fiinrii i like the anger / fire mechanic, i'm french and it's difficult to use the actual keybinding (i try too many time to get the dragon going in the good direction. i prefer when the key binding are always the same like W is for forward and not to go down. Anyway it's a good game !
Woww this is hilarious! Controls are pretty easy, music and sound is keeping the mood, art is simple fun and clear. Great job! I would love to have a marker on who I am controlling right now, dragon or firefighter, but other than that I enjoyed immensely. And maybe keep controls/flow hint somewhere on the screen as I missed the bowl part and actually tried to carry an egg on the dragons head hahahahah
Thank you all! @h1hoho @poseredinke @farfadet46 @freakyzelga
@farfadet46 I'm not sure what you mean, W does always make you go up. Maybe you meant that you want W to make dragon step forward in the way it's looking (aka tank controls)?
@freakyzelga you're right about the marker, we didn't think about that! The bowl is mentioned in the initial tutorial, did it not show up to you?
@jacklijk playing with E is so much easier and gets rid of unwanted movement, love how cute the dragon is, very fun game
@jackaljk yep i was lost at start :)
@jackaljk it definitely showed me the bowl tutorial but I missed it, I was paying attention to something else (holding the egg with my head maybe? haha)
Funny. Nice assets!
Can't go wrong with Synty's assets! And thamk you for the discovery, I didn't know about MalberS Animations, their assets fit really well with the rest
Although, I got stuck with a plate in my mouth when the workers didn't want any eggs. I was forced to lose my temper to continue
Edit: Press G to drop the plate, but I missed it the first time
Dino is a tricky labor
Thank you! @alex-chertilin @thomasvenner
@thomasvenner yeah MalberS low poly stuff really fits doesn't it? As for the drop button is mentioned in a tutorial popup, but I guess I should have just written the hotkeys on the interface somewhere. Will do next time!
I love the dragon, but it's a bit hard to control.XD
Great concept, I was struggling to get used to the controls though, and suddenly switching to the firefighter caught me off guard.. good job!
Wow, this is really cool and unusual! Cool drawing, very fun mechanics, it's incredibly awesome!!! Honestly, there are no words. This is a very addictive game!!!
Nice game!
It was hard to get into controls at first. And it sometimes felt a little bit tedious to carry boxes around
But otherwise the game feels pretty cool. The first time when firefighter appeared felt amazing and fun!
The animations for the dragon are beautifully done! Fun & Cute game!
Great game! The controls were a bit hard to learn, but beside that the game is amazing!
Once I got the hang of what I was supposed to do, I had fun with this one. the movement was fluid and everything worked as intended. I loved when the dragon lit the dudes on fire. it would be nice to ask for user input before proceeded to the next text box, as I wasn't able to read fast enough before the next set of instructions appeared.
Wow! I was blown away when the fire fighter showed up! Very fun and the controls were just the right amount of jank. I think I managed to soft lock myself by grabbing too many bowls, but maybe there is a button to drop one that I missed?
Thank you all! @sansen @anrqangel @psychozz @tetrergeru @zantze @nutvillagegames @lushboy-studios @beep-boop
@zantze yeah the dragon animations are from MalberS Animations, check them out!
@lushboy-studios right, we added the tutorial texts at the end so they were not well tested unfortunately
@beep-boop yes you can drop with the G button, it's mentioned in a tutorial box but I wish we added somewhere in a contextual interface what the buttons do
Great work! Super creative idea with great music and fun gameplay. I really like the fact that there's sort of 2 unique gameplay loops (the dragon and the firefighter), it keeps it interesting.
It can be a bit hard to control the dragon and firefighter at first, but you get used to it a bit. I also didn't completely understand how the egg dispenser worked at first, so the first egg went straight to the ground lol. Probably would be nice to have an indicator of where the egg would shoot out to, or allow your first few eggs to not affect your "rage" meter.
But regardless, great job!
Dragon animation was amazing. The firefighter coming down and you taking control is a nice touch.
love the game! the angry dragon part is so funny haha. I would suggest moving firefighter to somewhere else since it was hard to see what's happening at first but I enjoyed the firefighter part a lot after a while. well done!
Love the dragon! What an amazing work you did!
Thank you! @shannonhg @russ-moonbase @callbackthefunction @zeit
@shannonhg completely agree on the egg indication, wish we had time for it
I have the same problem with shannonhg, it's difficult to see where eggs drop ! By the way the game is fun and you make great job for this jam
the dragons controls are really nice. I also had problems with the egg dispenser initially. nice work
Thanks guys! @xamora @david-mason
This is really innovative and charming. I would also give it 6 in humour if I could.
The controls were not so clear (where does the egg land? How do I deliver the eggs?), but beside that, it is a really fun and unique entry.
Fun game, excellent graphics and sound. I guess it would have been a bit easier to get the eggs to land in the bowl if the camera had rotated with the dragon, but perhaps that would have been a bit too easy. Nice job!
Fire breathing is one very radical way to wake people up. Cute giant dragon will not tolerate sleeping people in a workplace!
