Nice game!
Everythings is pretty, the designs, the art, the music/sounds. Simple to understand and entertaining.
Only issues I found were: the blue amulet has the name of the lapiz elixir, some items out of order (red/green elixir, red/blue shields) and one time after crafting an item I couldn't select it again and had to select another and then back to be able to craft it again.
An endless mode would be fun, to see how far one can go.
Definitely one of my favorite games of the jam!
Very neat game, super duper easy though, would've liked if the dragon's demands were just a bit exponentially higher. Otherwise though, very fun to harvest stuff and sell it, and lovely art all around, quite nice!
We balanced for the easy side for the Game Jam.
Dragon Scales is a delightful game with a fun twist on dragon lore! The idea of harvesting scales while keeping the dragons happy with gold is both unique and entertaining. The game is well-polished, with only a minor bug where a recipe didn’t load (but re-opening the menu fixed it).
The art is charming, though I think unifying the style of the dragons and items a bit more would make it even better. It’s a relaxing game with a nice touch of strategy—I found myself wishing for even more strategic elements to dive into. Overall, it’s a lovely and engaging experience. Great job!
Simple but very well executed! This could very easily be turned into a management sim on a much bigger scale.
The art is beautiful. i have never played something like this and it was really fun! Congrats.
Glad to see the game worked out! Wish I could have been of more help this year, but it's very fun!
I loved the punny dragon scale theming, as well the scaling demands of the dragons! The music/sound effects, art, and concept were really neat too. I wish there had been more recipe scaling, like being able to unlock more complex but higher profit crafting items over time--I think that would have fit the prompt a bit better as well as helped the game feel less repetitive over time. I would also love a way to check what was in the store while you're crafting. But overall, I had a really fun time playing!
I love these types of game! Love the art direction. Probably with a little more work and content it could be a game you can release.
Would greatly appreciate it if you checked out my game!
Really good game. really fun to harvest and build while keeping an eye on the money you collect. Good concept
This is fantastic! A really engaging game with great randomised elements. Felt really well-balanced and I love that you're building from scales.
The only QoL thing I would suggest would be an indicator in the factory which lets you know that you have the materials needed to craft an item without having to click through the list and see what you've got. Maybe the items you can make are bolded versus faded? But I'd definitely play more of this after the jam if it was expanded 🐲
Oh, that is a good idea!
One of the best games in the jam I’ve played so far, bar none. Well balanced so that even a moderately bad run of cards is still winnable if you play it right, charming dragon designs, and well matched music. My literal only complaint is that it wasn’t longer :p
cute cosy game, visually very nice and has a nice sorta clicky gameplay loop
it's not super interesting gameplay wise but i think this is the first game i've seen so far that actually has animal scales as a part of the game
The art is fantastic. The game is simple to get into but it also gets very repetitive and doesn't seem like it has any end state or any downside to doing/not doing something. The gold also doesn't seem like it matters unless I missed something. Even with those downsides, I think this could turn into a super cool game if yall keep working on it because it has a lot of potential.
We did balance for the easy side for the Game Jam
I love the art direction on this! Simple game loop, easy to understand and play. Kudos to whoever drew the dragons, I love the water dragon :)
Very fun, could lose myself quite a bit on it x)
This is such a polished entry, the art is fantastic. GG
The art and menus are so polished and cohesive! And it was really easy to pick up the flow of check the shop -> check the factory to see what materials I need -> harvest the right dragons -> craft the right object -> sell to the shop. I did find that I was way over the gold thresholds, even by the first day they were each set, so it might be good to adjust the difficulty upwards a little bit. But overall, great work!
I love this so much! Management games like these are so much fun to play, and the dragon scales theme is amazing! I was able to finish it on my first play through, but would have definitely loved to see more!
Very easy but relaxing game, enjoyed it quite a bit! Love the art too, great job!
Yay I satisfied the dragons! I could have played this for much longer honestly. Lovely game and the bonus daily cards were great help :) the UI and gameplay were clear. Good job!
