Brothers of the mine rejoice!

Swing, swing, swing with me
Raise your pick and raise your voice!
Sing, sing, sing with me
Down and down into the deep
Who knows what we'll find beneath?
Diamonds, rubies, gold and more
Hidden in the mountain store

Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole

The sunlight will not reach this low
Deep, deep in the mine
Never seen the blue moon glow
Dwarves won't fly so high
Fill a glass and down some mead!
Stuff your bellies at the feast!
Stumble home and fall asleep
Dreaming in our mountain keep

Born underground, grown inside a rocky womb
The earth is our cradle; the mountain shall become our tomb
Face us on the battlefield; you will meet your doom
We do not fear what lies beneath
We can never dig too deep

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole

Born underground, suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark, the safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron, steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on brothers sing with me!

I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, diggy, diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy, diggy hole, digging a hole...

Wow I loved it! Platforming on the back of a huge dragon is so cool. I've wanted to make a game like this for a while but never have. Glad to see it's a viable concept. Was there a win condition? I seemed to have a good defense going then got risky and fell off while trying to get to the platforms on his butt to see if there was a secret.

Developer

Didn't think of a win condition, couldn't really fit that in the gamejam, also in godot you can't have animated models have collision so thats the reason you probably fell xD. Glad to hear you enjoyed it, we really liked the concept too!

Interesting concept, gets very chaotic really fast. Liked it!

really cool Idea put kid of poor execution. some of the enemys just fly in impossible to reach areas and the movement gets really janky because of the dragons movemnt

Developer(+1)

Yeah we kinda pushed back finishing the dragon model which kinda is required for game balancing considering the idea was that the player was gonna have to parkour all around the dragon. That ended up meaning we only had 2 days for gameplay, and a lot of that was taken over by random stuff. It definitely suffered because of that. Thanks for checking it out

Really cool setting for a tower defense game! Visuals were great! Sounds would have been really cool. Even some goofy voice acting if your heart desired.

Developer

Thanks man, definitely spend too much time on visuals xD. Wanted to make a game that didn't look like a gamejam game. Sadly after all was done only had 30 minutes to do sound, which wasn't enough.
