I Hath Slain the Dragon! by BryceLTaylor
You have just defeated the dragon!!! ...now what?
Get out of the cave with as much loot as you can!
Arrow Keys or WASD to move, X or , to kick up gems, space/z/. to jump
This version of the game has two small changes from what was initially submitted: 1. The shape of the mouth of the cave was changed slightly to allow the player to return and collect more gems as intended. 2. The art for the sign was updated to list all of the available controls. The controls themselves have not changed.
The original version of the game can still be found here: https://bryceltaylor.itch.io/i-hath-slain-the-dragon

I did unfortunately seem to run into a crash on my second playthrough - As soon as I got near the end of the level and gems started spilling out to my horse, the game froze up. I vaguely remember a hand appearing to take one of the gems, so I wonder if there was some null reference where the hand was trying to steal a gem that disappeared to the horse (or vice versa)?
It's such a short game that the crash really didn't impact my enjoyment (I could just try again!), I just figured I'd give you a heads-up! :) Overall, this was a very funny and charming little game!
Do they not have bags
Can't I just pick up the gems
My poor tiny horse...

I like tiny games and we should make more of them, this game gave me the feeling of the super old Giga-Rensya games and I got some happiness from it: https://youtu.be/YoXBxGORsEc?si=TMadAb61joqZZ9k4&t=12
Great job!
