This is a very cool game! I love the arcadey feeling, and it fits the theme perfectly

This was a fun game. I like the retro feel. Cool aspect ratio and the theme was well represented! It was very tower defense and it was a joy to play. I like attention to the different enemy types. Some slow you down, some actually hurt the dragon when they get to the edge, and some just get in the way of the dragon fire. Great work!

Love the game, interesting idea with the theme. Everything is good, good retro vibe. I found the game quite fun considering how simple the gameplay is. Good idea for the different npc. The only downside: it isn't very innovative....

Super cool. I like that this is the classic quest for princess but reversed :D

Great game! Feels a lot like a game and watch game, simple and instant gameplay, with scaling difficulty and with the variants of enemy types. Also I think the game would work better without the horizontal movement and maybe with fewer rows?

For how simple the mechanics are, it's incredibly effective and fun.

Neat game. I like the gold piles in the center. You should make the gems look like bags of gold like they are carrying away bags of gold. I never figured out what the princess was all about. :clap:

Very addictive, I could not help but do several sessions to improve my score.
Continue playing with more levels of scenery and a little scripting, there is something to do with it !!
