*Story*
If you're a baby dragon with a chronic case of hiccups occurring every 10 seconds
it would seem rather cruel to also be named Hiccups by your grand parents,
but honestly they were never among the cleverer dragons..
However now that Hiccups has been abducted by the nefarious king of the pig trolls
(Ted to his friends) the bursts of fire & magic that come with with
each hiccup might just be our dragons key to escaping...

*What to do*
This is a platform game. Run around on the platforms
and time the dragons hiccups to when you need to
evaporate one of the baddies.

*Controls*
Cursor keys to move left, right and jump.
Space to start the game and to continue to
the next level.

You can also use space to force a hickup. You're not supposed to but it can get rather annoying having to wait 10 seconds even though the timing is kind of the main feature :smile:

Press R to restart a level.

Press S to skip a level.

*Tool used*

The game is written in C++ using SDL for the graphics and compiled to webassembly using Emscripten.

Tools: Visual Studio Code, Gimp, Emscripten, Aseprite, Notepad++, Audacity, Ableton Live Lite, bfxr, Filezilla & tiled.
