This art style simply oozes with charm and personality, one of the cutest games in the jam!

A few points that could help potentially if you take this game further:

A lot of the time it felt like a fifty fifty when I was hitting an obstacle, either I would lose health or knock the whole thing down
I feel like maybe making either the food smaller or the map bigger could help with giving the player more of a choice on whether to eat or try and dodge the food, right now there's not much space to make a choice

Other than those two little nitpicks, incredible game, I had a ton of fun making it to space LOL

BUILT TO SCALE! GMTK2024

The art is cute, and the arc of the controls is satisfying.

There’s a few things I’d like to point out though:

you make the player die a few times (well, at least this player), since it’s not clear from the start it’s a flappy-like, not a platformer (if I didn’t know about the existence of that game I might’ve thought it was broken)
the rocky pits stand out as hazards – the trees, not so much, especially since you can fly past the trunks, but not the tops!
neither food, nor boinking into objects give much feedback – you turn slightly redder (which … well, the dragon is already red mostly) or you grow by a slight amount if you feed, but that seems noticeable in aggregate – this could be fixed easily with just a few audio cues
the dragon scaling up is a decent idea, since that makes it harder at the end than at the start, but growing happens quickly (so you get very little time just chilling with the decent controls) – that combies with the hitboxes, which don’t always seem clear to me from just looking at the art

Did I die because of a bird? You got me I thought it was just flappy bird but harder and then the crazy things started to happen. Great game!
