amazing game. Got to the dragon but couldn't beat it (is it actually killable or am I just trash? lol) however, I love the game look, and its suprisingly easy once you get the controls down. The only main problem is blue drakes but just go to a hallway to prevent the water balls from hitting you and kill the drakes following you then just rush the blues after killing the melee drakes. I played on normal mode, but it was fun.
Hey, thanks. Glad you enjoyed your time with the game.
The boss dragon is indeed beatable. When you knock her down, you have to circle around behind her and hit her in the butt. Those are the only hits that count. Otherwise you'll just keep knocking her down over and over again. The implementation for that is just a bit shoddy and sometimes you may not have enough time to actually get a hit in, in case you're on low stamina and can't get there quick enough, but it's not too hard once you know what to look for.
while I think that's a cool system, I didn't actually even know that. you should have something to tell you about things like strafing, how to (s)lay the dragon. (you might have, I'm not sure cuz I didn't read very much but I clicked quite a few of the orbs so I am not sure.) yet again, I love the game and even then, its still fun and challenging. also having the menu pause the game would be nice as I had to die once from needing to quickly get up and do something.
There's a vague hint about how to beat the boss in one of the glowing orb thingies that gives you flavor text. It's quite cryptic though and the whole boss mechanic (and the game in general, being a game jam game) is a bit of a hasty job overall, I was kind of learning as I was building the game, so the whole game is pretty much just trial and error from start to finish. Lots of overlooked stuff and missing basic features.
