Good Afternoon,

A few weeks ago I began work on this game - although runs on Android which will be the primary target this is a flash version - the object is to slay a dragon while collecting comrades along the way and defeating various other monsters that have taken over the kingdom.

I will begin working on it again next week (when I return from annual leave) but would really appreciate lots of feedback, negative, positive, changes that should be made, suggestions, opinions etc.

The file size is about 4-5MB so may take a few seconds to load in your browser.

Gameplay is described in the tutorial and the story outlines the object of the game.

Thank you all,

I found the gameplay a little simplistic. It seemed all i needed to do was point my character towards an enemy and wait. The controls seemed a little unresponsive, i.e. didn't really feel like I was doing much of the work.

Maybe adding some paths and dirt patches around the bases, to help guide the player through the level.

Potions to heal your comrades and yourself. Maybe add in support to control your comrades, so you can send two off to attack one target and keep one close to you to provide cover whilst destroying a base etc.

Very good start though, I do enjoy these sorts of games! Hopefully my criticism does not come across as too harsh. :)

Good criticisms, thanks. Nought wrong with harsh criticisms, I need them if I'm to improve the game.

G'day everyone again.

I would appreciate further feedback from people regarding the changes I've implemented in this update.

Changes made include:

Hud Icons for nearest shop and nearest dragon are now visible (arrow with icon which points in direction to nearest of each)

Gold/Money is used now - when you get close to a shop (follow yellow house icon) you can enter the shop and purchase upgrades (weapons/armour) for your followers.

More changes are still in progress but I hoped to get some feedback on the current progress....
