Fun little game

I liked the game, it's quite simple, but still fun. Well done :)

The game does not boot up for me. It shows a command prompt and does not start.

@TerraCottaFrog
I've tried creating a new executable using a different tool.
If you're willing to give my game another shot, try downloading from the "Windows (py2exe)" and see if that works better for you.

Works well. Detection of kills was nice and accurate and I enjoyed how fast paced it was.

I ended up resorting to constantly spamming z (there was no reason not too) and moving back and forth. Worked pretty well.

Easy, simple and very fun! Got 119k and then made one mistake and died :)

Not bad, but the main menu is pretty blurry

Good pace, sound effects worked well. Just needs more depth but the core gameplay you have here is solid.

Definitely a fun little game. Needed a hold down Z for bigger fireball at the expensive of a bigger radius.

Chomping through the soldiers feels awesome, I just wish it were a little more challenging. Maybe give the soldiers some ninja skills!!

A little easy to cheese since you heal more from eating knights than they can damage you, but overall pretty good for your first LD event. Keep it up!

Good little game, cute dragon

Fun little action game that's well balanced with a good difficulty curve. My finger got tired long before it got really challenging, though. I stopped around 30,000.
