Scaling Up by dalbinblue

Congratulations dragon, you've been nominated for best horde by Better Crypts and Caverns; the only problem is, you don't have much of a horde, and well as much as you'd like to have one, you're running out of space. But let's be a sensible dragon here; If you can't stuff more stuff in your horde, try swapping out some items for better ones at the local monster swap meet. Better hurry though, you only have 5 days before the editors will be here to judge your horde.
The gameplay is pretty simple, you need to swap items with other monsters by exploiting their likes an dislikes. Some things are obvious (demons like cursed items), but others are less obvious. You can talk to monsters to learn more about that monster and others. Additionally, you are a magic creature and can get a perk each day to help you with swapping or to magically enhance what you have.
Controls: Directional buttons or digital pad on controller to move around menus Space or A Button on controller to select the currently highlighted option or to advance text.
Constructive Criticize is always encouraged, and if you complete the game, let me know your final score. The theoretical Max is 1,650,000.

Just one minor perfectionist detail: I would recommend you leave a little space between lines on the dialogs, some times is a bit hard to read
I love changing things. Very pleased with the mechanics.
Beatiful quest! :)
The graphics are on point, such nice detail it's almost unbelievable. The music really fits the mood as well. And unlike some other developers it didn't feel like you sacrificed gameplay and mechanics for this. In fact, the trade mechanic alone might be worked out more than some other games in their entirety.
I played the entire game, managed to get a score of 129,030 coins. No idea if that is a lot, but it was fun! The voice lines are great as well. "I can pull better stuff out of my hat" had me laughing :)
So, since this game is amazing, I only have a few minor nitpicks to give:
The text has a good font and size, but it felt the lines were glued together. Perhaps give a bit of space between every line so it is easier to distinguish every line. The slime was very fun as well but in my head all slimes are green :)
Overall a very great game, I'm interested to see what you make next!
p.s. nice touch with how the kobolds treat dragons ;)
