Absolutely gorgeos art style here! I've reach the sun in time, and i gotta say the increasing speed of the dragon it's a great touch, also the voice! Awesome entry :v:

Really cute art, and I like the sounds too! I think the only real change I suggest is making running automatic instead of having to hold down the arrow key.

Super cute art style, the music is charming. The hitbox at the beginning is hard to jump over the boxes because there's no momentum for the jumps, but otherwise it works perfectly the rest of the game.

Very nice. Realy like art and sounds.

I have some troubles with cilliders and static pressing of D. Moving sholud be automatic.

Who would have thought that you can actually catch the sun? All you need to is be a dragon.

The decision to make the player press d constantly strikes me as odd.

thanks everyone for the feedback! Yes, I really didn't think that it was possible to do automatic forward movement =_= Well, now I'm smarter thanks to you =)

Good art style and great way of making music and sound effect on a game jam :) Jumping over the blocks is a bit too unforgiving at low speed. Great entry overall!

It's chrome dinosaur but so much more charming. The music made me giggle.

Cute animations and artstyle, agree with other comments pointing out that the run should be automated. Took me a few tries but was satisfying winning.

Everything important to tell what holds the game-play back has already been written and I can only agree. The graphics are gorgeous anyway and the approach to the audio is exemplary and made me giggle as well as others reporting before me.

Very fun!

The game was cute and I was very motivated to make the dragon sleep a little longer :3

The art is so cute, the idea to stop sun from rising is also cute. Did you sing the background music yourself lol, fits the game pretty well. Great job.

Gorgeous game. I found it really difficult. The hit box seemed a bit bigger than necessary. I found it really hard not to hit obstacles even though it seemed like I was pressing the keys in time.
Really enjoyed the audio, it was a really fun touch.

Overall: Very unique and interesting game. Liked the concept and idea, execution was done clearly with experience and very well.
Fun: Pretty fun game, although it can get a bit repetitive over time, but that is the nature of simple games like this. I do like the 2 different endings because it adds at least some variety and replayability to your game. Easy to learn and have fun quickly, but not sustainable long term.
Innovation: I would say it is a very innovative game! Although it is simple, the idea of day/night is cool, and I have never seen that sort of thing before.
Theme: It does fit the theme well. You are delaying the inevitable by trying to sleep for a just a little longer...good match of the theme.
Graphics: This is the definitely the best part of the game. The graphics are amazing! Really liked the hand drawn style and animations. Its really nice to see people putting a lot of effort into hand drawing graphics like this.
Audio: Nice audio. Enough to make the game feel polished and add a little bit of extra enjoyment.
Humor: I think the concept itself is pretty funny. It is a dragon trying to chase the sun to get more sleep. Pretty silly and unique.
Mood: The mood mostly comes from the hand drawn graphics, which I think are fantastic. The mood is overall pretty good.
Great game overall, and congrats for finishing a Ludum Dare!

Love the art! When he grabbed the sun I melted as if I were in contact with plasma.
