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.

I adore the art
Thanks a lot!
This game was really good! It made good use of the theme and the puzzles were really fun
Thank you for playing our game!
Once you get into the gameplay pattern it's very well thought out game design and an innovative puzzle game with some action elements. The lore is great, you chose good music and sounds as assets, but the narration really needed some designing. It stands out as a sore thumb. Regardless, great job. I never thought someone would turn the Strength puzzles in Pokemon into a compelling game but you somehow did that.
Thanks a lot for playing our game and taking the time to detail your feedback!
Cool lore and narration, definitely the high point is the style, holy cow, thisgame is pretty!
Thanks a lot for playing our game and your very warm words!
That is a cool take on the theme. The puzzles were fairly balanced. With a little bit more polish I can see this being a released game on App Store! Nicely done!
Thanks a lot for playing our game and your vote of confidence! We might just polish up these dragon scales ;) and release!
Nice and quite polished! I wish there was an undo button, as I was too lazy to restart the level after getting stuck in a corner.
Thanks for playing! Fair point:)
A tricky puzzler! Could be expanded for a mobile release someday. altought they voice acting was a bit funny, perhaps some editing could've made it hit harder.
Still incredibly sharp, polished and most of all, finished!
GG
Thanks a lot for playing and for sharing your thoughts - that's a very good idea, might just polish things up and scalethe game to release!
The art is gorgeous and the puzzles are really cool. Great work!
Thank you for playing our game! We're so glad you enjoyed the art and the puzzles:))
visuals are awesome, really love the dragon and how the controls move/feel! so neat and well executed
Thank you for playing our game and sharing the love!
Great use of the theme, amazing visuals and a really cool narrative going on here! couldn't find any easter eggs but I did see a dragon egg :)
Thank you for playing our game through to the end! Your comment made my heart smile :))
Cool game, but controls felt a bit off (holding down movement didn't work consistently). I like overall visual and audio stylistic
Thanks for playing our game!
MAN, The sprites and animation are CLEAN ! The levels were also quite fun.
Overall, I really enjoyed the playthrough :)
Thank you for playing our game and sharing the love :))
My favorite so far
That's very kind, thank you!
Wow love this game! The art is impeccable, the dragon eggs me on to keep playing, and the puzzles are short and sweet. It's reminiscent of tomb of the mask in style. Love it!
Thank you for playing our game all the way! Reading your comment made my day :D
WOW!!! This game is so good. I love everything, art, theme and mechanics are amazing. Congrats!!! Is the best one that I played in this JAM.
I forgot to mention the voice works, so good,
That is so kind of you! Also to drop by and mention the voice too 🥹
We're so, so glad you loved it!
I love the art, it felt pretty good to play, but some of the levels were really easy with a focus on story instead of gameplay, im not going to argue if thats a good or bad thing, but I personally prefer gameplay first, great game.

My god, the polishing of this game is amazing. The atmosphere is flowy, the level design is smart and works really well for a puzzle game and you even took time to include lore and voice acting. You absolutely nailed this !
What a lovely thing to say! Thank you for playing our game and sharing your very kind comment!
Really polished. Especially cool with voice acting. My only critique is that the puzzles tend to be designed in such a way that if you get it wrong you need to restart, even when they don't need to be. There's a lot of content for a jam game.
Thanks a lot for sharing your feedback, it definitely helps us improving it for when we ship!
Absolutely loved the style and music. Enjoyed the experience, but felt timed spikes and fire balls didnt add much to the gameplay
Thanks a lot for playing our game and sharing your thoughts!
