Nice game. I love the graphics.
A wonderful submission! Took a bit to get the hang of it but it's a really nice management game. Almost everything feels very intentionally designed. The main critique I have is in regards to the Ouro's ai. There were times where it felt like it was ignoring apples and going for the bombs that I'd specifically moved out of the way lol It also eventually got stuck in the bottom right corner. Maybe adding an indicator of what it's currently targeting could help the player prevent it from gobbling bombs. But seriously this is a great submission that is just soooo charming!
Thank you for the constructive critique! If we end up going back to this game, transparency is the first thing we will aim to emphasize, along side some more animations.
As for it getting stuck, that appears to be a bug we caught to late to fix. In that event, unfortunately right now the only thing that can be done is to restart. Still looking into as to why that occurs.
Thank you for playing!

The game looks amazing, the concept is promising, was a bit hard to figure out how to play at first, but it was fun once I got to it. Good Job!

Great game! Simple, but cute idea. Nice pixel art. I love your game site too :D Gj!
The pixel art graphics look stunning and the audio was a banger (I loved how the audio went from chill town like to suddenly a bit menacing and sad). One quick bug I wanted to mention was when I pressed the reset button for some reason it came up with a black screen with a white rectangle in the middle. Other than that the game was a really enjoyable experience!
thank you for mentioning that bug! I’ll be sure to take a look into that and post a fix after the rating period.
We found the cause of that bug! If the restart button is pressed more that once before the next scene is fully loaded, the scene will try to load multiple times. As a result, it gets caught on that loading screen.
Unfortunately, if this happens, the game will need to be closed out. Due to Game Jam restrictions, a fix for this bug cannot be uploaded yet. To avoid this for the time being, please be careful to only select restart once.
Thank you again for playing!
Nice game, fun little dragon! if you could show off how to play the game better in game that would help
Thank you for trying the game! How much to tell the player when starting was something we struggled with, and it seems we went to far one way. Thank you for the constructive criticism!

The graphics are nice and the Ouroboros is so cute. Love it. Nice game.
Really good game! I like how as he gets bigger, it indirectly becomes harder to control him as a result of his size. I also like the art, especially of the dragon. Overall, an amazing game with an amazing take on the theme!
Absolutely awesome game! the art style is amazing, you've done such a great job :) You deserve much more recognition for the hard work you've done! I love having a giant protector for the village. I wonder if maybe there could be some kind of boss battle where the goblins have their own guardian :)
The art style and animations are very well made and the gameplay is unique and fun.
Good job creating this game.
Very good game. I like graphics and gameplay is really fun. Good job :)
Very epic! I really like the look of the game!
Such a simple concept yet u made it completely different and amazing!
I would love to see what improvements u make after the jam :)
P.S pls check out my game :)
I think the intro is amazing, and gameplay is fun. Needs a menu, and a tutorial so it would be easier to understand how to play. Otherwise than that, Fantastic work!
Unfortunately we failed to make it clear, but pressing escape during the gameplay pauses the game, and also houses a How To Play menu. It definitely needs to be made more readily available though.
Thank you for playing and the constructive criticism!
This game deserves a stand alone title, it's good, the art is good, the gameplay is good. Though, i think that intro is a little bit too long, it made me confused and think that i'm not doing something right. Here is my rating. Amazing job!
Thank you for the kind words! We wanted to go for a stylized intro, so that may have been part of the issue. Once the game logo is up, you can click anywhere to start the game! Again, this could benefit from being made more clear.
Thank you for playing and the constructive criticism!
Nice and weird game. I like it :)
It's a bit confusing but also very well put together. Good job!
