Really nice twist on flappy bird. I really liked the addition of shooting a dragon. Here is some input on how the game could be improved:
- I had the feeling that sometimes it was quite inconsistent from where the shots are coming. I had the feeling that sometimes they were launched quite a bit higher than the player was.
- In the beginning the game is a bit difficult. Keep always in mind, that when you play test the game that you get very good. So if it feels ok in difficulty for you it is usually very difficult for people playing it the first time, especially in a game jam where players do not spend much time to master the game. Set the difficulty of the game so that it feels pretty easy for you or ask some people to playtest it. For this game one possibility would have been to start with a simple level. A level with a different dragon with less health and less walls where the player could get stuck. In this way new players would get a fast success in the beginning.
- I think the shots get blocked by the food. I would make sure these two things do not collide.
- I am not a huge fan of the music. I like the fast pace of it, but I think you can find something which fits more.
- Make sure the art style is a bit more consistent. I really like the style of your player, but then it does not really fit well with the dragon. If you do not draw your assets on your own, I would try to find a asset pack which has everything in you need.
Even though I have quite a lot of inputs for improvement, it does not mean that I did not like the game. I really had fun playing it. Well done! Cool entry!
