See the world through the eyes of a dragon. Fiddle with paperwork. Figure out arcane rules. Do lots of addition.
This game should be playable in a modern browser on a desktop computer. I haven't tested it on tablets but I'd be surprised if it worked.
Mini-FAQ
*Why are there no deductions?* - Dragons rarely actually spend their hoards, so they have no expenses to deduct.
*Why does a dragon have a smartphone?* - It's 2015.
*Is doing real taxes this hard?* - Well, the simplest United States income tax form, the 1040EZ, is two pages long and has 43 pages of instructions. But on the other hand, most people have longer than 10 minutes to work on it.
The time limit is brutal, but really make you feel the pressure. By putting all the elements together you can see all the red tape a dragon would have to go through.
This is pretty hilarious. I would think dragons would have to capture some human to get them to write all this out. It would be torturous and they would probably beg to be eaten before it was over. I, however would rather do a dragon's tax return than my own.
Great idea, reminiscent of Papers Please, but very different and original. I failed badly, though, because of course I wrote in the 'Do Not Write' space!
brilliant. Simply brilliant. This is a hilarious idea which is executed on spectacularly well. The random generation helps prevent players from memorizing the procedures and keeps runs interesting, the option to request 5 more minutes adds a nice forgiving element that many jam games benefit from, the presentation is clean and manageable, and the writing adds a ton of character. On top of all this, the post-jam print and play mode is a stroke of genius. At 20 pages a game, I can't say I'll be playing often, but I definitely want to try this thing out with friends at least once. Well done, friend, well done.
Not a game for me...didn't like the joke and was bored staring at papers. I never felt monstrous for completing the tax return, if anything it felt conformist and dull.
My brain just exploded from gathering the documents to open my own company in real life, this one is nuts! And really well done! :P
It's just as complex as tax forms here in Brazil. I would've needed at least 2 days to gather courage to make this game, and I'd never be able to think about doing this. So that's some nice work you've done! :3
A dragon might be a monster, but taxes are really an even bigger monster! :P
I enjoyed this more than filing my real tax return.
