That's a very different take on the theme, congrats on that! Also, the art style is really good.
I'm a fan of management games so I'd love to see what it would be like if/when it is developed further. Congrats!
The art is so good!
A cool art style mixed with a fun gameplay! Congratulation to all the team for making this!
I loved the way this game used the theme of the gamejam! Very creative, and fun gameplay. Good job!
I love management style games, and this is no exception! Very good game!
As for the Game Jam submission I don't really consider that referencing to it by using "scale" literally is a good fit, I interpreted it more like having a scaling factor implemented in the gameplay.
Other than that I really like the gameplay, it reminds me of luck be a landlord etc... the art is also very polished, I would love to see this developed further!
Very polished, very enjoyable, and I think it stopped before it became too tedious. Really good use of sound effects to juice the game up! UI was amazing and lots of small quality of life choices, like how you can just click on the wanted item and craft it, just made it easy to focus on making the choices! And even with the very simple tutorial, I felt very quickly I knew what I needed to do!
Only thing I think I would like, maybe a harder mode, something where maybe each dragon gets jealous if you favour one dragon too much?
Dragon jealously is a good idea! We balanced the game on the easy side for the Jam.
It's very beautiful, simple and relaxing! I saved your game, waiting for a calm moment to return to it. Thanks for the work!
I have satisfied the dragons! The game was simple but extremely well executed!
Creativity:
Super creative game, if i had an issue it's that the game quickly became repetitive and extremely easy. If the game gets more content i would love to play it, but overall the game is really well done.
Art:
The games art is immaculate for a game jam, the animations worked and there's honestly not much i can bring to the table, props to the artist!
Sound Design:
Music was pleasant to listen to and fit the game very well, the game comes with a full set of sound effects and they are well balanced and fitting for the game as well.

This is a very good entry and you should be proud, the gameplay loop could use some work but you made a real gem! Good job! :)
We balanced the game to be easy for the game jam, we also had to downscope the gameplay loop, the shop was boiled down from the original version due to time constraints. I have seen various people lose at the game. Our artists and sound designer did a wonderful job!
Neat little game, I couldn't see how much gold I needed to survive, but apart form that it's a very fun gameplay loop, good job.
A Quests panel at the top left of the screen would show how much money you need after you finish the tutorial quests.
I wanted to spend 30 minutes rating several games tonight... I ended up spending 30 minutes on this game.
Very nice on every point !
Great job
Never played a crafting style game before. This was alot of fun. Very professional looking game. Congrats.
it was really fun, with an simple but addictive game loop
Nice game! Well done. I got hooked without realizing it :D
Cool crafting game ! I like the roguelike upgrade mechanic, even though I think it made me a bit too powerful too fast, I just stacked upgrades that doubled the value of my scales and helped produce it faster, and just sold them directly, and that made me win the game ^^'
Having one screen for the shop and one for crafting is a bit tedious, as one always have to switch between the two to know what to craft.
Besides those few points, really good job, that's a beautiful game that kept me playing for a while !
We balanced for the easy side for the game jam.
This was really relaxing and it was so polished. Great job :)
At first i tought it was gonna be really complex, but it was actually a nice chill game!
Little bug report: When you try to craft 2 of the same objects you first need to select anothet object and then craft the second wich is pretty annoying sometimes
Nice job overall!
A very fun game built on a really nice idea! Good looking UI and art style. It has potential for expansion!
An interesting concept with a fun gameplay loop. Nice art and music, and a good UI. It was a little frustrating to spend all my AP trying to get one of the resources from a dragon, only to repeatedly get the other resource, but once I got the card to harvest both, it became a lot less tedious. Overall, I enjoyed the game a lot and was a bit sad when it ended.
I spent a long time on this game it was so much fun! Great entry!
I kept failing lol. Cool concept. I was addicted to crafting the items. And music was relaxing. Great job! Can I show game-play of your game in a video?
Glad you liked it, you can show gameplay in your video, you should also link it as a reply, so we can watch it!
Thanks! Finally finished editing one video. I'm still learning the whole YouTube process. Congrats again on your entry. Playing Games from GMTK Game Jam 2024 is the link. I deleted my comment on the main comments thread, as this is related to your game jam entry. Cheers.
