I liked the music. I missed more animations when the fit goes down and hit the dragons

The art was great, the game is classic arcade minigame which never disapoint. It's a shame you didn't finished the game, it could have had a great ending.

I like your artstyle! Unfortunately I couldn't get my hand to move left/right, so I don't think I really got to experience the game :(

Developer

Oh no!  I'm  sorry about that. Would you mind letting me know what you tried or what you were playing on?  I sadly couldn't get this optimized for mobile or anything (still new to HTML Canvas  design vs. my usual web design!)

It uses mouse controls - someday I  want to include keyboard movement too  when I get back to this project outside of the jam. 👍

Mobile interaction with Canvas will be something I try learning too down the road!

It could be a cool mini-game for an arcade room or as a part of a bigger game. The setting made me smile :)

Dude this is great! love the graphics and its a nice simple but fun gameplay loop :D

But please add screenshots to your page, this could get alot more ratings if people could see the awesome art!

Developer

Aaaaa thank you tons! I'll get some screenshots ready and added! I initially didn't include any since it's only one scene, haha. But I should do so anyway - I agree!

A really nice first JS game, well done!
The artwork was on point, and the music and sound effects were great, too. Keep up with jams!

Developer

Thank you so much! I'm pumped to keep practicing so I can make more things  I'm happy to publish. I'll 100% be watching for more jams I can join for the experience! :D
