How does your game fit the theme?
The presentation of control loss in our game comes from the fact that the protagonist life depends on the same thing out of his control, the little dragons that just hatched, wild and ferocious, and we as developers decided that this should be represented in random color palettes, random design on the textures patterns, random stats like health and attack, and even the music was composed in a way where it became more of an accident than a product. the AI is also determined by a random value, that makes a battlefield of chaos in the random, the dragons are supossed to be your allies, but in the end, they are a force that will either help you or kill you by pure luck.

The aesthetics were hilarious. I liked that a lot. It was unclear exactly what to do, but I still liked it none the less. Good job.

We are planning to add a tutorial and polish the narrative withing the game once the jam is over. I hope you come back and try it!

The intro was good, but I stuggled a little with the goal of the game after that. The music in 'Le Dungeon' bobs though :)

I really like the opening scene! But it was a bit difficult to find out what to do. I'm not sure if I can continue the game after I won the dungeon. 

Anyway nice entry!

I think there's a really cool idea here. I felt like I wasn't really doing anything though and I wasn't really sure if that was the point (because it's out of control). Gotta say that I really liked the art style though, that cover picture and the intro scenematic are great xD.

Thanks for playing!
Maybe we should have explained a little about the game, but I think that not knowing what to do reinforces the theme.
