Hey everyone! This LD, we were a team of 8 people (4 programmers, 2 artists, 1 musician and a cook!!!) trying our hand at our second game ever.
I Want My Dragon is a platformer with a twist. You have to collect items to feed to your pet in order to transform him into a dragon. The pet you get depends on what pet you have and what you feed him. Getting some specific pets will unlock other levels where you can get other items. Try all the combinations for a special achievement!
CONTROLS:
Left CTRL = Shoot your gun SpaceBar = Jump/Select option Esc/BackSpace = Pause
The game was made in Python using Pygame. The release is a single .exe without any dependencies, so anyone on Windows should be able to run it. If any of you get errors, please let us know, we'll fix it ASAP. A MacOSX version is also available.
NOTE: Many people reported Avast antivirus giving them trouble running our game. Disabling it before running the game works.
I liked the playful mood and the graphics were appealing in their own way, but the fact that collision detection was very loose and that I had to run each time back to the level and start all over was a deal breaker, it seems the poor bunny will have to go hungry
I had trouble playing because the fixed-size window extends off the bottom of my screen. I am not able to resize the window to see the lowest part of the game.
I got the bunny a tail, but that was as far as I could get. It seems as though the collider on the player is huge, because I got hit from objects that seemed nowhere near me. That part was frustrating, but other than that I really enjoyed the premise.
The game has a cool and different theme, I spent some time playing (but did not get the dragon ... =P). To improve the game I would improve the art and the collision with the bottles thrown by enemies

I really didn't like the controls, though, only using arrow keys for movement is awkward nowadays.
