You're the father of a son who desparately wants to go to college. One problem, college is expensive.

Oh, did we tell you you're a dragon?

Good try, this game needs a lot more work. For one it needs more audio and visual feedback. The control scheme is confusing as sometimes I rotate in ways I don't recall telling it to. The goal is a bit unclear as to how much money you need to complete the game. Also I can't tell if my fire has successfully killed the dwarves. Good luck with future stuffs ;)

Unfortunately, I keep hitting an error: "scripts/gamestates/textslide.lua:44: Could not decode PNG image (memory allocation failed)"

So nice the idea behind! Keep working on it :)

When you read the intro dialouge for too long, I get the PNG error as well. You can get past it by clicking like a madman.

Interesting game, I like it. The map seems way too big, and day 1 seems too long, but I like the idea! Good job!

Caused by a memory leak, because of repetitively loading images. Fix will be released soon. The source code is updated; when I'm home, I'll release a bugfixed version.

Interesting concept for a story! I like the main gameplay, but felt it ramps up way too slow. It gets a lot more exciting once there's a swarm of twenty dwarves and I'm trying to blast them away while picking up gold! The music works for the setting but seems a bit restful for the main action. Visuals are nice. All said, I enjoyed it! Good work.
