How does your game fit the theme?
A dragon-slaying quest stuck on repeat. The hero is eager, the chief is proud, the dragon is... suspiciously cooperative? Unravel the looping legend in this narrative puzzle game where everyone loves their role a little too much. (Spoiler: It's dragons all the way down.)

I felt bad that there is no average score, because some teams aimed for all categories, not just one. So I just scrapped the results page and made a table. I agree with Mark that "Overall" is questionable, but I still think "Average" is a valuable score, so I decided to share it.
Absolutely stunning art style! It really captures that fairytale, storybook vibe beautifully. The black and white design fits the theme perfectly and gives the game a unique charm. Loved how the visuals tell the story almost on their own—it’s clear a lot of love went into the aesthetics. Can’t wait to see what improvements you make next!
！COOOOOOOL art！！！！！！
this was a lot of fun! I liked the hiding behind the tree path!
Nice artwork!
THE artwork is really pretty! I love how you took child imagination as the loop theme in here! Straight out of fairytale game nice job!
I love this fairytale book art style! is beautiful！
Love the story-liked art!
The art style and design of the game is so lovely. Plus intuitive design. I might be a bit dumb,, but I struggled with the story even once I out it all together. No one else has mentioned it so I think it might be a personal problem lol.
Thank you for playing and sharing your feedback! We agree the narrative could be clearer - we're already planning post-jam improvements to better convey the story's twists. Follow our Itch page for updates if you'd like to see the enhanced version!
