Skreen by Dining Philosopher

[raw]
made by Dining Philosopher for LD31 (JAM)
Far, far away, in the remote hills of a wealthy Kingdom, the Royal Treasury lies hidden between the trees. Skreen the Dragon has been chained to the entrance to guard the King's gold.

Until recently, it was an easy job - only a few tasty sheep wandered by from time to time. But then, the rumors about the tower's location started and adventurers from all eight corners of the Kingdom began searching for it.

How long can Skreen guard the treasury?

I really like the chain getting caught in the trees. That put a smile on my face when I noticed that I'd gotten myself tangled up :)

Wow you have done the chain only with Crafty, that's impressive! I would have just used a physics library, but your solution is nicer. The overall mood is also very good.

This is really neat. The chain mechanic is pretty unique, and the art style is very charming. Nice work!

Good job! I discovered I could burn the trees after playing a while haha.

Really nice game. The graphics are cute, the audio is good and the gameplay mechanics are quite interesting. I liked how the chain affected your movement and the fact that you could burn the trees.
The game is still a bit buggy though, on my first attempt it didn't advance to level 2. Also, the hit detection seemed kind of random.
Made it to level 4, it was a bit annoying to not be able to move when close to an enemy, which ultimately killed me. Overall, I liked this game, good job!

The chain was a fun idea. It would have been even more fun for the chain to have more meaning in the game. For example preventing you from getting some item in the distance, enemies pulling on the chain or getting enemies tangled in the chain.
