Use of the limitation
I was very much inspired by the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit after seeing both Dragon and endless greed. I tried to emulate a hand constantly wanting more gold. And it just so happens that the gold is protected by a dragon.

Cookies eaten
no cookies but copious amounts of hot cheetos

Getting that close to Smaug made me anxious lmao. The rotoscoped hand is really cool

Developer

Thanks!

Love the hand animation, did you use rotoscoping? If you did it was a very clever use for it
Great game!

Developer(+1)

Yeah I did! It was my first time attempting it so the output was kinda janky but a fun experience. Def gonna try and incorporate more into future projects. Thanks for playing!

I really liked the artwork. Sadly, the Hand was displeased :(

Developer(+1)

Maybe the Hand could never be appeased. Thanks for playing!!!

Pretty cool game, I like the art and the theme of greed and dragon lol. Had a lot of fun playing it but wish it had an end state and more depth in the mechanics lol. Still  had fun with it tho,  good job..!!!

Developer(+1)

Yeah I would have to agree. I will keep this in mind if it gets any more progress in the future. Appreciate your feedback, thank you!

This game has certainly made use of the limitation and is on theme. It has some experimentation graphically as well as a half-defined story. The curve is however quite low; and the gratification is limited because of the absence of music or sound which limit the enjoyment of games overall. Otherwise the concept is ok as well as its execution.

Clean game.

Developer

I definitely tried to incorporate some story but like you said the execution was lacking. I do regret not adding sounds or music. Nevertheless, thanks for the feedback and for playing!

I love the rotoscoped animations on this. They are great and a little bit creepy in a good way! The core gameplay of this is a great concept. I wasn't exactly sure what was causing the dragon to wake up on the later levels, so if you decide to expand on this game I'd love to see more variables on the stealth parts! Great job overall! I could not beat the level with 0/13 as the quota and the hand was very displeased :(

Also now I really want hot cheetos...

Developer

thank you for playing and the nice comment. I was definitely going for the jarring and creepy rotoscoping. there was a lot lacking in the UI and balancing department so kudos for making it that far.
