Had a good time with this one! I really loved the idea you worked on this with your daughter :) the game actually felt like it was more skill based than I expected. The addition of a dash really made a difference, combining with what seemed like an increasing speed over time? The lore was nice too, shame not enough to flesh it out but it sounded solid :)

Briefly explain your games interpretation of the Pacifist theme?
The game is a variation of Flappy Bird, an inherently pacifist type of game. The objective is the same, go as far as possible to get the highest score, but adds a dash ability and collectibles that will increase your score.

Other comments (Code / Art / Sound / Audio)
The game was supposed to feature sound effects and a longer track featuring the narration you can see on the game's page, but me and my daughter ran out of time, so no Karaoke modifier.
The theme is also that of a dying dragon (hence the particle effects when dashing and flapping) but we didn't get to expand on it. The collectible flames were meant to restore a health pool that was slowly draining but again, ran out of time and that feature got on the cutting floor.
Did you enjoy the jam? Is there anything you'd change if you could start over?
Yes, I loved the idea. I wish I had found out about it much earlier. I only saw it on Friday and with life getting in the way only managed to work for less than 8 hours on the game.
Aren't you awesome for being creative and taking part?
Yup
