Found the firefighter hard to use as it stopped moving whenever I used the fire extinguisher. Felt difficult to catch eggs with having to click with mouse on the dispenser while controlling where the dragon looked with mouse at same time. Very fun, will defiantly play again. Loved the anger / fire mechanic
We had to cut corners with the firefighter, I don't like how it feels to control him either but it was the fastest way to implement.
As for difficulties with the mouse, you can also press E to interact. This might help you avoid unwanted mouse movements.
i prefer when the key binding are always the same like W is for forward and not to go down.
Anyway it's a good game !
I would love to have a marker on who I am controlling right now, dragon or firefighter, but other than that I enjoyed immensely. And maybe keep controls/flow hint somewhere on the screen as I missed the bowl part and actually tried to carry an egg on the dragons head hahahahah
@farfadet46 I'm not sure what you mean, W does always make you go up. Maybe you meant that you want W to make dragon step forward in the way it's looking (aka tank controls)?
@freakyzelga you're right about the marker, we didn't think about that! The bowl is mentioned in the initial tutorial, did it not show up to you?
Although, I got stuck with a plate in my mouth when the workers didn't want any eggs. I was forced to lose my temper to continue
Edit: Press G to drop the plate, but I missed it the first time
@thomasvenner yeah MalberS low poly stuff really fits doesn't it? As for the drop button is mentioned in a tutorial popup, but I guess I should have just written the hotkeys on the interface somewhere. Will do next time!
Cool drawing, very fun mechanics, it's incredibly awesome!!!
Honestly, there are no words. This is a very addictive game!!!
It was hard to get into controls at first. And it sometimes felt a little bit tedious to carry boxes around
But otherwise the game feels pretty cool. The first time when firefighter appeared felt amazing and fun!
@zantze yeah the dragon animations are from MalberS Animations, check them out!
@lushboy-studios right, we added the tutorial texts at the end so they were not well tested unfortunately
@beep-boop yes you can drop with the G button, it's mentioned in a tutorial box but I wish we added somewhere in a contextual interface what the buttons do
It can be a bit hard to control the dragon and firefighter at first, but you get used to it a bit. I also didn't completely understand how the egg dispenser worked at first, so the first egg went straight to the ground lol. Probably would be nice to have an indicator of where the egg would shoot out to, or allow your first few eggs to not affect your "rage" meter.
But regardless, great job!
@shannonhg completely agree on the egg indication, wish we had time for it
By the way the game is fun and you make great job for this jam
nice work
The controls were not so clear (where does the egg land? How do I deliver the eggs?), but beside that, it is a really fun and unique entry.
