FireBreather by Psytew

made by Psytew for LD25 (COMPO)

Firebreather is an arcade-style game in which you take the role of a newly hatched dragon. Try to keep him alive and terrorizing, but as a single arrow or even a raindrop can kill him, it's gonna take a lot of fireballs to keep this dragon rearing!

Bonus: If you score over 500 points, I'll try your game no matter what (if web or windows). You need to have a screenshot or something though.

Current version: 1.2

Takes too long to fall from the sky! But I eventually established myself as a superb dragon among the people. Funny how a dragon's greatest threat is rain... :D

I found it to be quite fun, at first I didn't have any score, but then I discovered you're supposed to burn things down. I couldn't get to 500 points by the way. I liked it.

It does take forever to fall from the sky :) Music is a bit meh. But I enjoyed this. No way I can get to 500 points though!

Bullets are a little bit to predictable and boring to make this game a proper touchou clone. I miss the quick "new game" button ;_;

It took me about 5 or six runs to understand how to play the game then I got it. Only had a score of 136 though. I found a good strategy was to alternate between completely clearing out the ground then completely clearing out the sky.

Oh my gosh that's hard, I think it takes to long for you to fall to the ground, and I also think it gets hard to fast. Other than that nice job!

I was launching it multiple times but I can't figure how to play it... Maybe I'm stupid or maybe something doesn't work :( But you have a point for a dragon!

falling from the sky takes too long, and then you have to be lucky to not end up arrow firing once you're able to fly. Also please change the font, it's not really readable :P. And it's pretty hard besides that. Would be nice if you could restart from the gameover screen? Or can you.

Had to play the game 3 times before I managed to survive long enough to actually play the game. Hated having to re-run the game in order to play it.

Spelchan: You could press backspace to go back to menu.
But still, restarting takes to long because you fall from the sky. A replay button would also solve the confusion.

The game is too hard, and could use some polishing. It takes to long to fall and the font is really hard to read.
