Being a dragon in an 8-bit world is hard. Of all the 256 possible things you could do with your life you chose to work in a dungeon. It is not the most glamorous job and the pay isn't that great, but you do get to guard some pretty cool treasure. Why at this moment there is a really pretty glowing thingy in the room behind you and it's- wait! You sens the hero. Ah yes you know his smell anywhere. You prepare yourself for a showdown with the little thief...
Instructions/Controls: in-game
Note: If the game starts with the dragon's head separated from its body, please reload. I think I have fixed that bug but I did not test it long enough to know for sure.
If the meat is out of reach I just don't get to eat it? So kill the heroes only when they're very close? I like the game but not knowing about that frustrated me. :)
Awesome! Nice homage to Zelda, it was great. I'd like to be able to move and eat the meat, as the heroes no longer get any closer, but I liked the game a lot, good work.
A neat take on the hero vs boss formula, graphics are really cool, especially on the dragons. Music fits perfectly and hits the nail on the head for theme. Excellent job. That ending too ;)

Really nice game! The neck controls and fireball shooting worked really well. One time the game got stuck when I got killed then my last fireball killed Link. Sometimes it was a little difficult to determine which head I was controlling. Otherwise, I thought it was really great and it would be cool to see this concept expanded to include other boss monsters.
That's really one of the best twists of a boss fight. There are a lot of games of a similar direction, but this one got me immersed the most until now.
That face, as he grabs the triforce piece... priceless :P
Delicious little game! Perfect scope for a jam, mostly fun to play and the art and music work well together. Enlightening wisdom at the end too. My extra heads kept getting me into trouble!
I liked the game. I had the same problems as others with the meat, as it was usually out of reach. That part was very frustrating. We must have been on the same brain wavelength as you. We have a similar game but with the plant character in Super Mario. Check it out.
Attention all meatlovers: The meat was meant to be a tactical decision. If you want adventurer meat then you must wait for the hero to get close enough to you, otherwise...no meat. I did have a flaming dragon head I thought could maybe fly around and grab meat but alas time ran out.
I understand waiting for the hero to get close to get the meat, but it was still frustrating when my extra heads would kill the hero on their own before it could get close. Other than that I really liked the game though.
Super awesome, great game. I included it in part 21 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/sSjPmVXpfX4

When the hero dies far from me is very frustrating... '-'
Well done!
