How does your game fit the theme?
The main mechanic of the game is that the playable character is a dragon which scales up as you progress through the game. We doubled down on the theme by using the other meaning of the word “scale” - the scaling up in length of the dragon is brought about by collecting a dragon scale. As your dragon increases in scale, the game difficulty scales up too. Accompanying the gameplay is a charming narrative which adds an element of the scale of time that the immortal dragon has endured.

Very cool, love the visual style. Those puzzles are amazing for a jam game
Thanks a lot for playing our game! It's so nice of you to notice the effort!
Good stuff
Thanks!
Nice level of polish, the aesthetic is top notch! Fun premise for a puzzle game
Thanks a lot for playing our game and your very kind appreciation of the aesthetic!
I absolutely enjoyed your game too, it was so wholesome and fun :)) Can I just say, I love the purple beard avatar, made me smile!
neat, not my type of game but very well made, glad there was a way to mute the voice over, while it was well placed game wise, but these kinda things should probably be done by professional actors
a few notes
the spike tile does not fit this game, it's a completely turn based thinky game and spikes require a different type of thinking
also, usually with these games there is an option to go back a step, i feel like that was missing here
Thanks for sharing your very honest feedback! Can appreciate that not all narration are to everyone's taste and glad you found the mute button alright - we'd added than in just in case the narration wasn't your cup of tea.
excellent visuals and level design. the narration was a little jarring at first and there's not much to the plot but i really liked how it and the gameplay lined up, there were some nicely integrated story beats and the ending sequence where you regrow to full size felt really good! it all comes together nicely
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts! I'm so glad you enjoyed the ending sequence, it's totally my favourite bit :))
The art is so amazing! The game naturally gets more difficult when the dragon becomes larger and larger. Great story and hope to see more puzzles like this!
Thanks a lot for playing our game and love that you really appreciated the levels scaling up too!
At first i was caught off guard by the voice acting but as i got invested on the gameplay i starting to anticipate the next dialogue line and i really liked the narration of the dragon
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts! Here's a little secret - we weren't suuuper certain about adding the voice acting initially, but we decide dto go for it because who likes big walls of text? So glad it grew on you :)
Defiantly the right choice! Especially since if the game ad the dialogue in text it would distract from the gameplay that is simple enough to play without focusing 100% all the time
Really unique concept and mechanics with the tiles. Puzzles were really interesting! Very nice.
Thanks a lot for playing our game!
Such an amazing puzzle game, the aesthetics and narrative were especially good
Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts! So glad you enjoyed the aesthetics and narrative :D
This is such a beautiful game, the voice acting was great and i loved the aesthetics and story. Great job!!!!
Thanks a lot, that's so nice to hear!
There is a really good level design, each level gets a good dose of difficulty to avoid boring the player. I love this
Thanks a lot for playing our game and sharing your appreciation :))
I love how everything in the game was designed during the jam, congratulations for all your hard work. Great job!
Thanks a lot for playing our game - it's so gratifying to have our hard work appreciated by someone who's worked just as much! :))
Thanks!!
Fantasitic game, really cool mechanics and great art style! My favourite part was the voice acting, not having to read is top marks for me.
As the narrator, amen to you sir. Cannot stand long blocks of texts myself.... so I read them out so you don't have to lol! :D
Straight, if your game has walls of text I am skipping it every time, thank you for doing us a service!
Wow this is amazing. It brings so much nostalgia for the old DOS games. Amazing giving whole pack of stars!

What a fabulous experience! I am floored that you were able to have something so polished in such a short time. Well done!
Thanks a lot for playing our game and what a kind comment! Checking out your game right away!
Great game! Very cool visual style and music! I enjoyed a lot.
Thank you so much for playing our game!
Super solid sokoban! The levels did indeed scale in difficulty super well. There was an odd screen flash every once and a while, but other then that I also really enjoyed the visuals. Well done
Thank you for playing our game! So happy to hear the visuals were enjoyable too :))
This is amazing!! Honestly 5/5 game, the concept is really clever, it makes for engaging puzzle. The visuals are great, and the voice acting is really the cherry on top. Well done to everyone
Thanks a lot for your very kind words! It's just the two of us on the team and you made our day!
amasing game!
Thanks!
