In this game, you are a dragon guarding princess in a tower. You're pretty good at it, since you simply have to roar the name of the knight in order to kill him. Using your keyboard to type their names, try to keep the princess save (well, save...) as long as possible and try to get your hoard of knightly lootings as big as possible!

Hi, I'm Thomas. I'm a Belgian computer science student. This is my first Ludum Dare, hooray!
Finally a game I'm good at! Great art, music and gameplay. Initially I thought that if the knights were to reach the tower, the game would end, but they still have to carry the princess back. Awesome idea, congratulations Thomas!!
+ I liked your art style a lot. Very simple yet very cohesive and beautiful + Difficulty is good. Gets challenging fast but manageable. + Fun, wanted to play again several times!
- More roar power! (I just think the slay knight sound effect could be more powerful)
Nice! I always look out for the typing games, this is one of my favorites this time around. I like how the ones with the more fancy names became a natural part of the difficulty curve. One thing I found somewhat annoying towards the end was when persons will really long names came from the left of the screen. Impossible to see them before they almost reached the princess. Cleaver of them!
Thanks that fixed it. Really fun game! I always enjoy typing games like this. Really got tough once they got the princess down off of the castle. Good job!
This is really well done, congrats! I had a lot of fun playing this one, simple to jump in and play but gets really challenging, the perfect combo! Nice work!
This is a very good example how choosing a simple and solid idea can make a game very good! Very nicely done and polished. Got to 125k points and stopped playing then, perhaps it is a bit too easy? ;-)
this was a very interesting take on the theme. I had quite a bit of fun! graphics are cool and also sound. I wished there was a bit more to gameplay because it gets tiring after a while. The beginning of each next subsequent wave is harder, but after the first crowd, it goes back to a slow paced game. It was also a very forgiving type game, we could make mistakes, no upper/lower case distinction, no spacebar. Maybe instead of adding more words, you could make them harder by adding limitations like this.
This is great! Love the art and the mechanic of typing those names.
EPIC. NAME. LIST. Wow. Skews European, but has incredible variety. Long names coming from the sides can be make you want to hurry the dudes up. It's like "Archbish--OH GET ON WITH IT ALREADY." I like how the shorter the name, the faster the knight.
I got to wave 12 before I decided I was done and let the knights have the castle. 130,744. http://imgur.com/0foCb2i
Levels 3 and 5 seemed to ambush me with a ton of dudes right at the start. Almost got overwhelmed at the beginning of those waves. The rest were fine. Not sure what happened there.
Another typing game! :D I had a lot of fun playing this, "Don't you dare to steal my princess, Magister Holger!". :) I like how the speed of the knights depends on the length of their name. Well done!
Man! Awesome game! I really love typing games for some reason. Can't believe they removed it from Crimsonland for the new steam version. Only critique is the slow difficulty curve. Probably played for 30mins on my first try, should get harder a bit faster. Also, online highscore is a must for a game like this! That would make me save this and come back year after year to stay in the top 10! 147.637. Wave 14.
loved the game, art and music are nicely done.
overall, very well done :D
