  • Definitely an interesting entry! Thanks a lot for participating. A unique take on an old arcade favorite. I found the initial control / title screens extremely difficult to read due to a lot of flashing of the entire page. Tried both Chrome and Edge. Apart from that it was a definite challenge - that Dragon mother...IS a mother! Hope you had a great time putting this entry together.
  • A fascinating game! I've never seen anything like this. Momentum movement is already pretty rare, and this brings it into 3D in a very cool way. This game could really use numpad support. On my keyboard, it seemed like only 'a' and 'd' worked, so with a keyboard I could only go left and right, so I had to use my mouse which was very cumbersome. It took me quite a long time to figure out how to play the game. Luckily there was a comment on the game page from someone who explained part of it, and after that I was able to fly around successfully. I never really got to any meaningful combat though. Very interesting game, and glad I tried it! With some good introductions and user interface, this game could shine even more.

Really interesting mechanics.
I had the most luck with the chicken, and even managed to get the egg, but the dragon slew me before I could get to the bottom.

The dragon is tricky and will never stop following if you have her Egg because she's a good mother ;)  A tip I can give is don't get in front of her.  If you escape with the Egg and replay with the dragon mount you will see why =D
Thanks for giving it a shot!  I and am still playing through With Hooves of Fire it' lots of fun!
