Oh man, I remember playing early versions of this game. Everything looks so well polished and clean looking. The difficulty progression is just decent enough that it only starts to get really difficult near the end. Only thing I noticed is that if enough enemies get on screen the frame rate starts to get pretty choppy. Otherwise this is a a very cute game!
A super neat game! Love the wyvern designs
I remember stonefires old prototype from way back and you’ve done such a great job evolving it! The bloat mechanic to ‘heal’ is a fun way to balance that!
I could defo see this expanded upon if you wanted with some new breath weapons and enemy types, maybe customise your dragon with some upgrades like extra ‘health’~
Man this is a really entertaining game! Personally I’d love to see more content for it like a maybe some power ups the dragon can grab to give him a little boost at higher waves of enemies, just like the transparent dragon who inflates you at max cap but it lets you recover from the enemy hits, here are some power ups I imagined while playing the game for helping the lil blue dragon :
Hydra’s fire : Shot 3 fire balls in different directions instead of one for 10 seconds.
Flaming Halo : A fire halo with a design of a dragon made of fire rotates around the blue dragon, inflating any enemy who touches it and protects you from enemy projectiles for 10 seconds.
Hellish Flames : Your fire breath becomes bigger for 15 seconds.
Volcano Bubbles : You gain 2 points of inflation as downside, but gain bigger fire balls reaching more screen and inflate enemies more faster for 15 seconds, lose the 2 points of inflation after the 15 seconds effect.
Homing Fire : Your fireballs now follow enemies automatically! The effect persists for 12 seconds, but as downside your fireballs inflate less the enemies for the duration of the effect.
These are a bit of power ups that could be nice to see in game to give it more fun and chaotic moments while reaching too many points, I’m currently trying to give every power up an unique design before grabbing them just like the transparent dragon that lets you recover from enemy hits, I REALLY love this concept of game and how it’s going, something that came in mind while writing this is an online leaderboard to upload your highest score and see who is the best inflater of dragons, can give it more life to the game, keep the good work buddy it’s a really promising concept!
I’m looking forward for more updates and as well publishing the designs of the power ups I have in mind that can be a good addition to the game.
