You have a good amount of variety in it and the pacing is nice (just as I thought I'd give up, you added something new).

I personally felt the graphics could have been more consistent (The style of the beast vs the buildings\/helicopters\/people seemed very different).

In particular the one from First Samurai! I did some stuff to make his back arcing for various gameplay reasons but I'm pretty happy with the end result.\r\n\r\nThere is also night and day cycle, something which I thought I'd add after it appeared on the potential theme list.\r\n\r\nIts arcadey gameply and features leveling up with progression by making your dragon bigger each time. But watch out for those pesky humans and their weapons!\r\n\r\nNote: damage is only taken on the HEAD of the dragon so you can evade effectively for the most part.\r\n\r\nI look forward to comments, the art in particular was very difficult for me :) Would love to see peoples scores and levels too.\r\n\r\nMy aim was also to make a subjective villain, are you on the side of humans or the earth? Has the earth gone too far by summoning a monster? You decide!\r\n\r\nThis is my first submission so I hope I have used dropbox correctly too (please let me know otherwise). All art is mine except for the Flixel default font and basic shapes (rectangular health bar for example).\r\n\r\nEDIT: I have Goats in the game too! They give more points if you kill'em :)<\/p>","title":"Earth Beast"}
