Nice game, though the mushrooms should be spawning more often, since there are situations where you will fall down no matter what you do.

@erukolindo Thanks for trying it out! It's a known bug and we're addressing it :P hopefully will be fixed soon.

Very good looking game, and I like the voice work too. It seems like the difficulty is a little erratic, with some parts being just entirely impossible. If you had an ending I didn't get there.

Congrats on the entry.

Nice Graphics and audio, but I didn't understand memory mechanics

Graphics are very pleasing! Maybe the animation was a little bit static :) but overall I liked the atmosphere especially the narration.

Great name and art! I especially liked the voice acting! I think gameplay could have been improved in some ways. Maybe the mushrooms could be boucier, or flapping could have provided more lift. I really liked how you had a chance to customize the dragon before playing!

It's very neat to play :)

Visually looks good, simple enough to play, and contains most of the components for a game. Main issue with it is mushroom spawning and uplift on wing flap. This makes it very challenging to make progress as either the mushrooms are too close to be useful or too far apart to take advantage of the bounce. Also doesn't match the theme but seems that is optional :P

nice artwork and the premise looked simple enough. After a short time, there were no more mushrooms and I couldn't make it further. Seems to be the bug the other people encountered too?

Very pretty, like the concept - tho it really didn't have anything to do with the theme. Seems like there should be more restrictions on how far apart mushrooms can spawn, and some tweaking of the controls to feel nicer. Also, dunno if there was any goal/ending?

I played as Zeilzriess, Eater Of All, courtesy of https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/dragon_names.php xD and I really liked it! The controls were too impossible for me to flap the wings more than a few times before I crashed in the swamp but the overall game is very well made and very attractive. Bonus points for music and the narrated instructions. You actually have the voice of a dragon trainer - you'd fit well in the Eragon universe. :D Did you play the guitar yourself or is it synth? Props for a nice game! :)

There's really nice artwork and audio in this game. Unfortunately it is quite difficult due to there being so few mushrooms to bounce on, so if there was an ending I couldnt reach it.

Nice art and would be nice when you drop some screenshoots.

It's a fun little game. But RNG is against me... The flap takes me too little up and the distance between some mushrooms were such so that I would need at least 6 flaps to reach another one. But conceptually, nice idea.

Graphics are really nice :)

Oh wow... Beautiful game! I loved the music and the mood that reminded me of Rayman :) The intro menu is great and the guiding voice a great add, even if hearing it over and over again every time you restart it's a bit annoying. I found a bit hard to flap my wings so I couldn't get far. Beautifully crafted anyway!

Some mushrooms are really far of to get even though I managed to fly for quite a while. The whole stopping abruptly when you let go of right is also weird. If you accelerate slowly I thing you should als slow down slower.
The art and sound, on the other hand are really cute and cool looking good job on that ^^

Very cute game, lovely graphics and the beginning where you can customise your dragon is so sweet. The game was simple and well instructed. But I did find some parts impossible to win as there was such a big gap from mushroom to mushroom.
