Really could gameplay with music and story! Nice demo you got here! The controls were good. Thanks for the submission

Submitted

The gameplay is really fun!!! I love the movement and attack mechanics. The tutorial is very clear and easy to understand!! Even without damage and challenges, it was super fun collecting the coins (great SFX). The visuals are so cool and smooth as well x) It would be awesome to see this game updated in the future :D Awesome job!!!

Submitted

This is a very unique and cool game concept! You should definitely continue developing it into a full game. Good job!

Submitted

I love the art, the implementation, everything on this. They're very good! And the cloud dragon and eye of greed have incredible designs, great work on that! Huge kudos on the seamless and clean tutorial of the game and dialogue system. It was extremely high quality. I also love the sound design on the speaking, very pleasing and a good reminder to read the text on-screen. I would love to see where this game goes.

Great concept and lovely entry overall! It would have been nice to have a bit of a challenge but even without it, there is something just fun about running around and collecting gold. The music and sound effects complimented it well too.

A very distinct visual style that had charm to it. Cool twist on the snake concept, and improssive control of the mood when approaching the Eye of Greed.

I love the animation! The dragon, the coins, and the Eye of Greed all look great! I also love how fast he flies, and way things are action packed from the beginning!

Developer

I appreciate the kind words! Thanks for giving it a playthrough!

The game is very JUICY! I love the art and SFX. I would love to see a bigger version of this!

Developer

I'll let you know if I make an update to it in the future. Thanks so much for playing!

Now that is some juicy game juice. The particles, the thundering, the spinning, bleeping, the flashing, the coining. Good stuff! I managed to do the rolling thunder thing without the mouse button by spinning my mouse on the table really fast too, which I was unreasonably proud of. It was pretty nice of the wizard to be open about his nonexistence just to tell you how to play. The art did look strange when you zoom out but I'm guessing you used some kind of pixellating camera so I'm not sure how you could get around that.  If you add stuff like damage and enemies this would be epic. Keep up the good work!

Developer

Yeah the pixelization came from the 'nearest-neighbor' filter in Godot. I might experiment and see if I can improve the quality when it zooms out but it might just be an artifact of that we have to live with. I've never tried zooming before like this so I'll have to investigate a bit more!

Definitely planning to add more to the game, with the Eye of Greed at the very least. Really appreciate the feedback! Thank you for playing!

Love the art style! Very fluid and satisfying gameplay.

Developer

Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed the art and liked the gameplay so far!

This game has everything! Music, sound, mechanic, gimmick, theme and even a story! 

Developer(+1)

Really glad you enjoyed it! I hope to expand a bit more of the back story in the future. Thanks for playing :)

This is so so satisfting. Omg. Great work! All the effects and sound ugh, just feels great.

Developer

Thank you! :)

I frankly ADORE the type of children's book fantasy this is going for. Easy the best aesthetics of any jam game. The gameplay itself is simple, but effective. I only wish the tutorial window would leave once it's finished.

Submitted(+1)

Also 10/10 job leaving detailed comments on other jam games. Keep it up!

Developer

That's a good suggestion— I think I could make the gold and cloud counters remain permanently displayed but have the scroll fade away to free up a lot more space on screen. Really appreciate the comment about the art style! :) Thanks for playing!

I feel like you've managed to hack the serotonin release in my brain. Just plain fun with great feel, sound effects and visuals. Well done.

Developer

Haha excellent, that is exactly what i was going for :)

Congratulations, your game is incredible. I really liked the art style, the dragon is very friendly and the gameplay is really fun. Good job! :)

Thank you! that means a lot

I absolutely enjoyed your game, it was a blast!

The way the dragon follows the cursor and the dynamic camera movement added a fantastic arcade feel. The instructions were perfectly placed at the bottom of the screen - they were a lifesaver when I found the camera too zoomed in and realized I could zoom out with the mouse wheel.

The concept is brilliant, and the execution is top-notch. I'm eager to see how it develops further. The game's "juicy" feel is just right. Well done!

Developer

Thanks a lot! I definitely hope to develop a full game loop from this concept. Thank you for playing!

The amount of polish is actually insane, 5 stars on presentation cause I can't give 6!!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted(+1)

Yooo, your dragon is really unique lol. I love how satisfying the attack is and how you collect the coins right after. Though its really simple i could play it for hours..!!!

I'm glad you had fun even in this early stage! Thanks for playing!
