10 Second Dragon Feeder by Wertle

made by Wertle for LD27 (COMPO)

This is a simple physics game. Place objects on the screen to help guide food to the baby dragon. You can only place one object per second, though! There are 5 levels.

Don't forget: right click an object to rotate it

Made with Construct 2

Known bugs:
- In the replay, sometimes the objects won't all show up.
- If you try to rotate an object over the tool bar, it may get stuck. Retry the level or move it back to the toolbar and grab a different object
- If you run out of time in a level but the ball somehow still gets to the dragon afterwards, it will count as a success

Nice game. I liked the way you interpreted the theme and the dragon is a great little character too. :-)

This game is absolutely adorable! I love that you turned the countdown timer into more turn-based game rather than a twitch-based one.

Really fun, reminds me of The Incredible Machine =D

What does a dragon eat? Fun game!

Perfect. I love the idea. It's a unique mechanic. Love the graphic style. Had a few bugs, but they're forgivable.

Super cool. I really love this idea. Would be cool to see it expanded with some better graphics and polish. :D

Cute game, I like the mechanics. Feel like the Incredible Machines gameplay. Great work!

Very cute. You get points for humor!

THAT.WAS.AWESOME.
First, this dragon is the cutest thing since cute.
Second, the music is catchy as hell.
Third, the sound make it perfect.
Fourth, I hate your level three.

Anyway, you've done an amazing job here. One of my favourite so far. Keep going !

That's a great concept! Works pretty nicely. IMO you should think about turning this into a full-fledged game!

Also there's a way to rotate the objects by clicking them in certain points in C2, here's an example .capx

This game is fantastic :) I played it through 5 times doing different things each time.

Oh, I also found a bug; if I keep dragging the objects out of the bar using both the left and right mouse buttons, I can select as many objects as I want before going forward.

Cheers!

This is one of the most interesting games I've played so far, really enjoyed it!

Thanks for the comments all!

@andreyin - thanks for the tips, I definitely want to work more on this and wanted to figure out a good way to do rotation for touch interface. Will check out your .capx once I update Construct to the latest version ;)

the dragon animations are wonderful. there's a few bugs but this is a fun game, good stuff.

That was excellent! I really like these styles of games, and this was a particularly clever one. Additionally the graphics and sound are adorable.

There is a bug at level 3. If I click to skip the demonstration, it just hangs and I have to reset the level. This was obviously frustrating to no end.

Pretty neat. I ran into a few bugs... mostly when trying to skip the level's demo. I still beat it and enjoyed it. Nice idea, and cool dragon.

I hope you keep working on it.

I really love physics games like these, and your use of the theme is really great! I'd love to play this on mobile/tablet! Good work

Very fun puzzles! Very cute art, loved it!

Theme is done in excellent fashion. Really wish I thought of something like this for the theme as opposed to a continuous clock. Great use of the theme outside of the obvious.

It was very nice, just not my type of game :) Still, grading it high for innovation, extra cuteness points and efforts to fit the theme.

The hand-drawn/MS-Paint feel of everything was really cool. The gameplay reminded me a lot of the Incredible Machine games. Definitely a fun entry.

Really cute graphics :)

Good game! the art need some work, but the game work perfect and have a very good gameplay!

Interesting concept! I liked the dragon's expressions and how you guide the food indirectly to the lovely dragon. Would be nice to see this game with polished graphics and physics :)

This is a fun game but the controls are kind of slow.

Found the game sort of hard, love the dragon, its sooo cute! I featured it in my LD27 compilation series if you'd like to check it out! http://youtu.be/FJWNdgd85u0

The controls really killed it, they were unresponsive and frequently got stuck. At one point I had to restart because the play button was stuck disabled.

Interesting use of the theme and a really cute premise with the dragon. I wish some of the art reflected the art style of the dragon though. Well done!

Really like the graphics; Simple but effective.

The dragon sad-face is priceless

this is literally the glitchiest game evar but
THE DRAGON IS SO FRIGGIN CUTE I CAN'T EVEN HANDLE IT:3
you should do a post compo version and polish this. The concept was awesome and I still can't get over the dragon's adorableness.

My ball magically flew around in the wind level, and just happened to go to the dragon. I really enjoyed the game.

Great idea and good execution. Can definitely see this as a bigger game.

I love the cute little dragon. Nice Game :)

Lovely dragon character, good idea wit adding elements and simulating dynamics. Game is interesting but little hard. In some cases rotating not work properly, will be nice if added element could be moved in next seconds (steps).

Nice physics puzzle game, a mix of the incredible machine and cut the rope. I like the hand drawn dragon, but would like to see this game with some more polished graphics.

Really nice game but it still seems a bit glitchy.
