How does your game fit the theme?
The main mechanic of the game is that the playable character is a dragon which scales up as you progress through the game. We doubled down on the theme by using the other meaning of the word “scale” - the scaling up in length of the dragon is brought about by collecting a dragon scale. As your dragon increases in scale, the game difficulty scales up too. Accompanying the gameplay is a charming narrative which adds an element of the scale of time that the immortal dragon has endured.

This game was really good! It made good use of the theme and the puzzles were really fun

Isotope FighterOnce you get into the gameplay pattern it's very well thought out game design and an innovative puzzle game with some action elements. The lore is great, you chose good music and sounds as assets, but the narration really needed some designing. It stands out as a sore thumb. Regardless, great job. I never thought someone would turn the Strength puzzles in Pokemon into a compelling game but you somehow did that.

Scaled UpCool lore and narration, definitely the high point is the style, holy cow, thisgame is pretty!

escalaMUTAThat is a cool take on the theme. The puzzles were fairly balanced. With a little bit more polish I can see this being a released game on App Store! Nicely done!

Tiles TogetherNice and quite polished! I wish there was an undo button, as I was too lazy to restart the level after getting stuck in a corner.

Built to Scale DRAGONS!Cool game, but controls felt a bit off (holding down movement didn't work consistently). I like overall visual and audio stylistic

StarSheep RescueWow love this game! The art is impeccable, the dragon eggs me on to keep playing, and the puzzles are short and sweet. It's reminiscent of tomb of the mask in style. Love it!

A Tiny Big DreamerI love the art, it felt pretty good to play, but some of the levels were really easy with a focus on story instead of gameplay, im not going to argue if thats a good or bad thing, but I personally prefer gameplay first, great game.

Scribble's BalanceMy god, the polishing of this game is amazing. The atmosphere is flowy, the level design is smart and works really well for a puzzle game and you even took time to include lore and voice acting. You absolutely nailed this !
Submitted
Fry, You Fool!Really polished. Especially cool with voice acting. My only critique is that the puzzles tend to be designed in such a way that if you get it wrong you need to restart, even when they don't need to be. There's a lot of content for a jam game.

DownscaledAbsolutely loved the style and music. Enjoyed the experience, but felt timed spikes and fire balls didnt add much to the gameplay
