How does your game fit the theme?
You scale up your dragon by feeding it mana to make it better at fighting. Also, dragons have scales, right?

That's some fun art style, and I appreciate the betting idea. I found that dealing with a large number range didn't engage me that much though, I mostly used the percentage buttons, and somewhat randomly? I didn't arrive at a clear strategy, but maybe that's a scale issue.
Amazing idea! I also loved the hand drawn aesthetic and the sound effects were great as well. All in all, fun game.
My dragon is bigger than your dragon! I liked that I was able to make my dragon purple!
I played this with my roommate! It was pretty fun, but once he got a substantial enough lead it was very hard to pull back lol. I wonder if an additional resource or some other layer of complexity could negate the snowball effect the math currently leads to. I really loved the hand drawn art style with the wiggly 3-frame animations, and the inclusion of an AI component for people that can't find a friend is very smart!! Hope to see y'all next year.
Loved the hand-drawn aesthetic of this one, especially on the dragon attacks! Excellent submission and clever 2-layer interpretation of the theme, nice work!
This is genius idea! I love the wizzard battle. And this is really a wizzard battle using intelligence ( and luckiness )!
Clever interptretion of the theme. I love this game!
Nice illustrations the resource management
the concept is very unique! it is more of a gamble than a skill game though. the only "skillful" thing that you can do is calculate how much damage the enemy can do in the worst case, and go from there. i still enjoyed the one round i played!
Came from your stream, and I really liked the hand drawn artstyle and animations. The concept is original. Well done !
The hand drawn art is amazing, and I really like the concept, it keeps you balancing your own mana every round, but trying not to go too low or too high. The customization at the beginning was a nice detail. Really enjoyed this game
I love the hand animated artwork! Cool game!
The color and name customization does so much for polish.
I feel like the dragon's fight animations could be a lot livelier. If you expanded this into a full release, I would love to see them really fight each other. Maybe at 8x, the little one gets stomped on. Sound effects would help too.
Oh that would be a cool idea! I didn't have time to add more animations, but if we make a full release I would absolutely add something like that!
Also, there should be sound effects? in my browser there are sound effects at least, maybe something went wrong with the settings in the game?
I meant specifically sound effects for the dragons beating eachother up lol.
Simple but fun. Reminds me of the types of old flash games I would play as a kid. Love the art and the music, and I especially how customizable everything was!!! For feedback, I would probably choose different UI sounds as they didn't really fit the fantasy wizard castle vibe. Maybe something more magical?
I'm serious when I say that that is one of the best compliments I could receive, I used to love playing those old flash games and I'm glad my animations reminded you of them!
The style is amazing and the mind-games against your opponent are simply the best! I ended up winning with only 1 HP remaining. Great interpretation of the theme, really well done!
I love the hand-drawn art style! And the customization was a cool bonus. I also liked how it related to the theme. Nicely done!
Fun little game with a good mix of luck and strategy. The amount of effort you've put into making it customisable is really impressive and the art is fantastic!
I like the options that you can just watch and play with a friend^^
Also the three-frame-animations are very gorgeous
Cute game :)
Love this game, will need to try it with a real player next. more fun with hp is set to 25 too
Interesting mechanic and very neat art style.
Cool concept, it's impressive what you managed to pull off in only 96 hours. I would've liked to see more mechanics than just mana usage and gain, though...
