Loved the music and that Dale left those little signs for himself to remember how to play.  Finished the quest and it was fun.  Enjoyed the inclusion of the overhead map.

Cool little game! The music kicks butt, and the art style is nicely coherent. I loved the top-down movement on the map.

The combat was not challenging for me and the different attack directions were confusing at first (especially how the animations were not distinguishable enough). The jumping felt off initially but I got used to it and it made sense when platforming.

I liked the game, thanks for making it! :)

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to check the game out! I appreciate the feedback on the combat/platforming as designing that was a new experience for me. Looking forward to trying out your game!

Charming game! I enjoyed the vibes of the music in the different areas & loved becoming a behemoth of a lizard when travelling through the valley!

The jump would sometimes just not activate, which was a bit frustrating, but overall the game was really fun!

Very charming game. Graphics are simple and yet they fit the game well. Music is top notch, liked how there was different music for different settings/screens.

I think you just about managed to meet the theme requirement with your Scaley Scaled down fellow Scaling a mountain too xD

For improvements, I'd say work on the Jump to make it feel more responsive. Felt like sometimes I would fall off the edge of a platform instead of jumping while running forwards. Some nice little SFX here and there would be good too.

Overall, nice submission. Good job!

I had fun reading through the story and dialogue! Great job!

I wish there were some special moves for platforming and combat to spice things up but it's okay as is.

Developer

Thank you for checking it out! I appreciate the feedback on the platforming.

I love the take on the theme and the music was super nice. I am apparently very bad at your game and died pretty much to every mob though lol. I think it's very impressive for a two-person team !

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to play!
