I had a lot of fun with this game! The sound track was really nice and I love the design of the character and the dragon. I could definitely imagine me as a kid being obsessed with a game like this. As soon as I started to think "Man, this is easy," the difficulty started to increase and I ate my words. My one critique is that when the screen would shake things got pretty disorienting and sometime it took me a few seconds to get my bearings on the game again, but hey, maybe that was by design. Well done!

This is a fun little game. I found all the attacks to be well telegraphed. While the color palette feels "Gameboy", other aspects of the game, such as mouse controls in the menu and non pixelated UI elements, do not feel "Gameboy". Nice work with the game.

College Fund from Pirates!I'm not sure if mouse controls are allowed, even for main menus (per "Game Boy controls" rule). The game itself is fun, although I ran into a situation where I was hit by a fireball and knocked back into a laser, instantly killing me (the laser hit me twice). Some fine-tuning on the invincibility length might've been in order, but I enjoyed the game nevertheless. Congrats, and I wish you the best.

DOG GODI liked how you drew the dragon head and its fire attacks. Good music and sound effects. Gameplay was short but fun. I would add some stalagtites or rocky texture to the underside of the platforms to make them look more realistic

Cheese of PowerThis was a pretty cool game! I liked the art style. Pretty short though--I wish it was longer, with more story! Also, I wasn't too sure about the hills and how the whole thing is put together. But overall, good job!

Drill MayhemLol i had the idea to have the dragon move and being so big and heavy it "shifts" the gold mounds to reveal more treasures, and didn't have enough time to think of how to execute it properly, hence the disappearing and appearing "hills" ... hahaha ... thanks for your time playing and commenting though!
