For a first game, especially as a solo dev, you did an incredible job! I liked that you included some narration/story. I think the art is actually super nice and makes me nostalgic for the flash browser games I used to play as a kid. The controls were easy to navigate. I don't think I was able to land any parries, each time I swung I seemed to only take damage. But I enjoyed playing. You did an awesome job given the time contraint as well and delivered a game with a solid loop. Well done.

I like the intro and the overall boss fight is pretty cool - fairly difficult too! those big flames are hefty - can you kill the dragon or is the sword just for parrying?

you can't sorry, that was the planned end but time was running out so I just made the timer counting down to your rescue.

Really cute graphics and the fact that this is your first game ever is really impressive. Be proud of yourself!

You have a backstory (that explains the main mechanic) animations and a solid game loop, keep at it and you will go far :)

I found it enjoyable as it is, but have some recommendations for improvements if you want to keep building it after the jam:

  • shorter time at the end
  • even clearer consequences for taking the eggs, e.g.
    • immediately make her shoot faster
    • shoot larger fireballs
    • wave with her paws etc. 
    • Maybe also change the way she looks to clearly indicate her becoming more and more furious

So it's kinda sad that there i sno sound but apart from that this is a pretty solid entry.

The gameplay is simple to understand and easy to learn while the dragon's attacks just become more unhinged as you collect more eggs.

Maybe the time limit could have been a bit shorter as this is a really challenging game but I really liked this!
