You're a Dragon! Doing Dragon things! Like burning homes and villagers and raiding keeps for gold and fame. Except the more gold you collect the more defensive the villagers become. Will you be able to collect the most gold in the history of the dragons or will you fly too greedily and succumb to the volley of arrows?!
Be careful, for gold is heavy. Will you hire gerblins to collect the gold for you or will you try to go it alone and risk being an easy target for the archers trying to secure what you've stolen?
I like that the game is 3D, I personally find it hard to 3D model during a Jam due to the time that it takes up. I prefer to just draw pixel art in PhotoShop. Then again though, I am not very good at art at all.
This is great! Really wonderful models and animations - the game has a lot of charm and style, especially for a weekend jam!
I found myself wanting to be able to crush the houses by landing on top of them, and was having a bit of trouble moving without getting too high to be able to light anything on fire. Otherwise, I really like the music, the feel of the game, and the camera - great work!
lovely graphics and overall idea :) for me it was kind of hard to actually hit a house. an aiming system would have been a nice addition. not sure if you guys did leave it out on purpose or not. either way. I think the villagers were too hard to begin with. but those are just minor things. I liked it overall! :)
Great look, the trees and planes that fade to the distant mountains is very good!
I had a lot of trouble getting to the townsfolk I wanted to eat; timing my chomps was a bit frustrating, and it felt a bit unresponsive since I couldn't interrupt the current animation.
I got sort of a rustic vibe from the lone guitar that fit pretty well, although if you are looking to expand this, music might be a good candidate.
I really liked the horizontal dirt path and "flat" buildings, it clearly lays out the boundaries of the village and immediately tells me it's a 2d plane that the gameplay happens in. It sort of locks in the player and tells me how things work without confusion or explanation.
Very impressive production value, and a fun game in general. It is actually quite hard because the villagers are really quite threatening. I thought I found a cheese strat of leaning against a building and shooting it, but thankfully those damn villagers kept me in check.
The limitations of the aiming and chomping mechanics add to the fun because you really have to plan your moves. The arcing of the arrows is also great because it adds to the challenge of fighting villagers head on.
The graphics and music are really perfect for a game of this scope. In combination they really give it a lot of charm. I especially liked the UI and HUD elements. Great game overall.
Honestly a great game. The art style is satisfying, the destruction is simple and fun, and controlling the dragon is a bit tough but it's really still a blast!
Cute game! Those archers sure do hurt! I really like the concept and 3D art, as well as the title screen music and menu aesthetic! The eating controls do feel a bit weird and I personally would have liked it if the music in game sounded as good as the menu music(the recording sounds a bit muddied). I'd also agree that the fireball disappears a bit too quickly.
Amazing game, dragon is adorable. Just snacking away on those villagers burning everything to the ground feels waaaay too good. Great music as well. Super impressive, great job!
Had a lot of fun playing this on stream last night. Loved the low poly models (them clouds though), and the look of the particle effects/fire fit very well.
I wasn't sure at first that you could destroy the gates as well as the houses. Hitting them a few times did set them on fire, but the fire would go out and didn't really indicate it was being damaged. Until you said something in the stream chat, I wouldn't have though to hit them some more.
The controls for the most part were great. Took some time to get used to the upwards velocity when moving left or right. Would be nice to have some control over that, or maybe even an option to "glide" with the dragon for a limited time in horizontal line
Cool game! The art was great and the music was nice. The controls felt a little weird, it would have been nice to be able to go left/right without going up.
Great game! I love the art style (simple but look nice) and the guitar music, the controls are very good, although its hard to eat persons! D: I hate those little bastards and his bows :P Congrats! Oh, and I collect 21 golds!

I am not sure if it should be grey... whatever.
Nice graphics and gameplay, but I found minor issues. Our projectiles disappear very fast, maybe you should increase their lifespan?
Controls are really simple, no way you can screw up with the input.
Well done! Are you really worked alone? Quite nice assets and images.

Really like the art style
