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.

Nice level of polish, the aesthetic is top notch! Fun premise for a puzzle game

Dragon Drive-Thru - Built to Scaleneat, 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

The Last Belly Dragonexcellent 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

Square UpThe 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!

The Scaleton JourneyAt 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

Caloric ConundrumSuper 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
