Cute game. I like the minimalistic artstyle a lot. The added lighting effects was a nice bit of polish. Controls take some getting used to, it's almost excessively slippery. I see that it was necessary to add challenge but I don't think dragons usually slide like that. xD
Nice job!
Hahaha baby dragons really are slippery sometimes. Thank you for the feedback.
i like the art alot! the take to the theme is pretty interesting as well! good job!
Thanks!
Cute game! I like the dynamic between picking up coins and dodging fire bombs. In the future, maybe lowering the move speed would be nice so I don't go rocketing into a wall of fire I'm trying to avoid. Otherwise, good job :)
Thank you! I know the movement can be a bit hard and Im planning to change It if I keep with the Game. Thanks for the feedback :)
It looks very pleasing and the concept is interesting. Really fun game and a unique concept ! :D Great job !
thank you!! Im glad you liled It ☺️
This is fun! I really like the artstyle and having to manage your own health while protecting the princess was a fun challenge. It was a little bit difficult to control but it didn't get in the way of gameplay too much. It may have been nice to have a slightly bigger map or to just be smaller, since there was not much room to move up and down and I found myself stuck between bombs that were pretty far apart a few times. Good job overall!
Thanks for the feedback! I thought about making the room bigger but the resolution of the walls became really different from the one of the player and other things so I just left like that. Im glad you liked It.
Really interesting concept! I LOVED THE MUSIC! Great Job!
Thank you!
nice take on the theme nice job!
Tysm!!
Nice take on the theme, gameplay is fun but challenging! I love the art style, and the vibe of the game! I knew I had to play it, when I saw a dragon/dinosaur and a cute princess on the thumbnail! Well done! :D
Hahha thank you so much!!!
Nice tune.
Alright, the game looks nice with all the Post Processing, everything seems to be the same resolution - well done.
You should have made so when you take damage that the dragon flashes red or white so I know I've been damage, I got confused at the start why I was dying then I noticed my hearts are disappearing after touching the flames - damage should be better communicated.
Gameplay is engaging for a few minutes, enough for a game jam - you should always give everything the game has to offer to the player in first couple of minutes since people won't linger for too long in a game jam game.
Thank you for the feedback. Yes, I forgot to add the damage feedback to the dragon at first :C but Im glad you liked the rest of the game.
The game looks super cute, especially the Dragon and the princess has a funny face. The music is banger, but i'm not sure it fits the "mediaval fantasy" setting. The way the bombs blocked movement was pretty frustrating, especially when there was a lot of them, you get forced into a corner and cannot really anything about it. If you could go through them there would be an element of skill of rushing past it before it explodes.
I know the bombs are a bit frustrating but they have colliders becouse of three main reasons. It makes it so the player cannot stand on a bomb without noticing and take damage when it explodes, it makes some strategy so you need to move to other places and dont get sorrounded. and it blocks you from going to fast and just passing trought eveyr single flame making you die. But its also true that it can be frustrating. And Im glad you liked the faces hahah its my pixel art style I like to make them look silly always.
Idea is simple but very nice. I like how you made movement of dragon very slippery it makes harder to dodge bombs but that's good. There isn't much art but it is all you need for this game, music is also very good. I had lots of fun playing it!
Thank you!! Im very glad you liked it. And yeah I didnt really need much art just the important things too keep the game clear.
I love the art and character design. The bombs were in interesting idea to ramp up the difficulty. Would lover to get access to a fireball. Great job!
Thank you for the feedback! A fireball could be a good idea to kill some knights when you are stuck thats true. Thanks for the idea!
Awesome art, awesome music, game is really nice too. Is the dinosaur being too slippery intended? I had a little bit of a hard time controlling him but it was still a great game and experience nevertheless. congrats on this one my dude
Tysm for the feedback! yeah the movement was intentional since I wanted bombs to be hard to dodge but I maybe did it too much. Glad you liked it :D
The music is just amazing, very nice art style, the controls feel great. Awesome game overall. Only tiny problem is that the text is kinda hard to read but that doesn't really matter.
Great job!
Thank you! I knew the game was hard but maybe thats also the funny thing about it. Im glad you liked it!
I enjoyed this game and the idea of being the kidnapper instead of the hero! I would change the speed of the character as after I let go he just goes flying, but all in all, Good Job!
Thank you for the feedback. Instead of the speed I was thinking on reducing the slide effect a bit that gives the same solution but thank you!
You’re Welcome!
Amazing visuals and having the enemies drop bombs/fire is a smart design decision to prevent just staying right next to the princess. Great job!
Thank you! Not staying right to the princess was mainly the thing bombs were supposed to and you noticed it. Thanks for the feedback.
Very nice concept and great execution, the controls need some getting used to as they're very floaty, but once I got the hang of it I was in the zone, great choice for music and nice SFX. This was my final and best scores after a few tries!
Thank you for playing it! 24 is a nice score to get becouse of the games difficulty so great job. Im glad you liked it that much to replay it several times. Thanks!
Anytime! Thanks I tried my best to get a good score haha
We got to 3 pages of comments thank you so much to everyone for the feedback Im really happy!
Nice game with cool mechanics and a good amount of polish for 48 hours. Unlike some of the other folks I actually found the slipperiness of the dragon to be dialed in pretty nicely to give the player a feeling of not having complete control but enough to make it a fair challenge.
Thank you for the feedback! I like too see all those different opinions about the player control. Im glad you liked it!
I like how everything is bouncing around and have a very cute vibe around everything. The dino that is supposed to be hard to control somehow feels very acceptable because of the cuteness of it XDD
hahah thank you!!
