You Are The Dragon! by ZacharyD
My second game, and first Ludum Dare! Hurray for me :)
(Note: Technically, you can't win. The game will never end.)
Goal:
Get as many gold coins as you can!
Destroy everything!
Controls:
WASD - Fly
HOLD Right Mouse Button - Breath Fire! (Has a cool down)
HOLD Left Mouse Button - Fly low
RELEASE Left Mouse Button (while flying low) - Grab enemy below you
Left Mouse Button (while holding something) - Drop it
Game:
Soldiers - Kill for gold coins! They shoot arrows at you!
Caravans - Kill for gold coins, DROP for even more coins!
Wizards - You cannot pick them up, super powerful, will fire ice spells at you which renders your fire breath useless!
Buildings and Trees - You can burn them;
I used:
UNITY 5
PROMOTION 6.5
GIMP
There's a bug where you can't pick up enemies and can't breathe fire. If that happens, you have to go back to the menu and restart. Sorry! :P
I fixed: Player spawn position, and enemies being WAY to powerful (Player died instantly). Also fixed some missing animations (fixed ~15 min after deadline)

I get to be a dragon, burn things and drop stuff. Perfect.

Pretty fun! Really captures the feeling of being a dragon

Great idea but two things let it down: sound effects were needed for soliders, dragon and environment; and the cooldown on the dragon breath...why? It would have been better for it to diminish over time than stop completely, maybe. Game should continue development definitely.

Controls could use some work. Would be nice to move forwards OR backwards instead of constantly forwards with left and right tilt. Still fun though! Burn all the things. >:3

Improvements to dragon controls and sound effects for the enemies/environment would make this game perfect. Great entry!

It really feels like being a dragon! IMHO you just need to adjust the cooldown of the fire (you need more fire!) and polish the grabbing function. By the way I will choose another music too, this sounds like a rave! xD

Thought it was pretty neat when I figured out I could pick stuff up and drop them. We made a dragon game too and it was fun to play as another dragon. Died trying to pick up a wizard

Wizard are tooo strong and I fnd it difficult to catch people. Also more sound effects could be useful even for the gameplay. Good feeling overall.

Ok, I really really enjoyed this game. I found that picking up a burning caravan also means holding onto a caravan until you pick up a non-burning one. The controls were smooth, which is a must if you're going to play as a dragon.
