I loved following your progress on Discord and was really looking forward to playing your entry. The spiral bound notebook tutorial with the sketches in the main menu was such a great touch. Also I really liked how I felt playing the game, like I was going off on some grand fantastical adventure. The landscapes changing was cool, I especially liked seeing the sunken / broken shipwrecks. The art is so charming and the game is quite fun! I wasn't sure if it would end or not or if it was maybe an endless game so I was surprised when it did end!

I actually remember audibly gasping seeing some of your game's art on the discord during the jam !! hiiii!!!!!
I was originally planning to make it an endless runner but decided against it since i felt as if making it such a game would go against the idea of going the fastest you could go,
adding health to the lil' dragon and making it limited just encouraged the player to go slow and to methodically dodge the obstacles instead of trying to get as much speed/momentum as possible :D
Went with the more fun option of making obstacles halt your momentum and just reset your speed, made it into a sort of racing game and i think it turned out nicely ! Ran out of time before i could add a free-flight mode (basically endless but with no scoring) but i'm still really happy about the whole thing !
I should have made the leaderboards/mode selection a bit clearer for the players though, it's really had to understand what the goal of the game is right now ! (reach 10 000m in the least amount of time / go as far as possible in 200s)
Super glad you enjoyed my submission ! Thanks a bunch <33
