Thanks for playing!
The lack of variance in skin tones was just because those were the textures included with the model I used. Though maybe I can alter them myself to produce more variations.
Similarly, the dragon scales not changing colors was a technical limitation. One that I have an idea how to fix, but I didn't have time during the jam.
I also wanted to include ambient noise, but I didn't know what the ambient noise should be! If any sound designers are reading this, get in touch!
Thanks for reporting the issue about animations not playing after pressing escape. I had not experienced that yet. I had experienced quite a few other bugs but didn't have time to fix them during the jam.
I do intend to expand on this, though yes it may end up being more of a sandbox than an actual puzzle game.
Thank you again for the feedback!
