I love this game and would like to host it on my site (www.kontraband.com) but it won’t scale down to 600px wide.
Any chance you could allow scaling?

Either way, thanks for a great game.

> added Y as an alternative jump key for my QWERTZ

The story screens still insist on “Z” — how about making them accept “Y” as well?

Love your games, btw! Thank you!

I would rather think that no matter what graphic style you choose, the game will still shine all the same. Pegging someone down to a style just seems like formulae.

You need to stick to the lofi pixel graphics!!! Graphical simplicity combined with complex gameplay is what makes your games so great.

Loved the game. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but I loved how you melded the game play and storybook sequences together into a sort of “living encyclopedia”.

My one criticism is that the last stage didn’t feel like it went along with the rest of the game. It felt odd suddenly switching to the hero’s POV (this is how to raise a DRAGON, after all), and the stage didn’t feel as interactive as the others. There’s a long walk between the start and the dragon in which you can’t do anything, and I was a little disappointed to find that you couldn’t even kill the zombies.

Nitpicks aside though, this was another great addition to your growing collection of games. =)

You are missing “Stalemate.” Scourges can’t be given tribute; it’s assumed that a dragon who would kill a bunch of humans and then go off to hide in the mountains isn’t interested in hanging out with people.

Glad you liked Bryant!

The walkthrough claims there are five hero endings, but I’ve only been able to find four (friendship, service, slaying the dragon, and fall of the hero). What am I missing? Also, is it intended that Scourges should be unable to be tributed successfully? It’s definitely an enjoyable narrative, and adding the new behavior addresses something I found odd. Also, I wanted to belatedly thank you for the little gems in the Bryant Collection. I quite enjoyed them.
