Hectic game. I wish the dragons moved slower than you as I ended up just running as fast as I could to stay away and randomly shooting when I got close to the object I assume you are supposed to shoot. 

Submitted

alright game, just a little hard to figure out,

also unrelated, i think people were going too much in the "scales" and stuff but, Built to scale doesnt really fit that, like what, built to steal the scales? Just dont understand.

Developer

Thanks for playing, what aspects of the game did you find difficult to figure out? I see diffuclty aiming is a common one for people.

Submitted

Mainly that an the fact that i couldnt really run from enemies nor kill them. But good game anyways :D

Submitted

Very fun to turn around the theme like that! nice game

Submitted

I found it very hard to aim and shoot.
But got the highground and then it was a little easier :P

Submitted

I love the 2D art for the menus! I see some people have been struggling with aiming, and while I agree a reticle might be helpful, I love that it takes so long for the plunger to come back to you—it made me aim really carefully before shooting.

Submitted

Ok the plunger is awesome and that mechanic should be delved to build a complete game BUT PLEASE OH LORD PLEASE add an aim sprite. The dragons without pupils are scary as hell. Loved the pizzicato music.

Developer(+1)

Pizzicato all the way :)

Very good looking and addicting. It's a little hard to hit the enemies, but got my trying again several times to improve my strategy and get the power ups sooner

Thanks for playing, I do wish I reworked the dragon hitboxes to be easier to hit but is what it is now.

Submitted

Yeah... It is a lesson for next time. Same on my Game... So much should have been done before the deadline.

Nice work, really liked the art and sound!

Wow awesome entry. We got jump scare from the first creature that attacked us :D Love the art style and music. Lovely take on the theme!

Submitted

Such cute dragons! Well done, loved the artwork, and neat way of using a plunger and a pull back rope to not go violent. Do checkout our also Dragon themed game haha :D
