Live the life of a dragon on a small island
\nFlapping and gliding take the angle of the wing/body into account. Facing upward will brake, downward will accelerate, left or right will turn in that direction. Gliding is much easier to control than flying by flapping alone. Use of a mouse (not a track pad and definitely not touch/mobile) is recommended.
\nYou can catch live prey by flying low overhead. If you do it right the dragon will automatically pick it up. Best achieved by swooping down on something on a ridgeline before it’s aware you’re there.

Unfortunately for me the controls were way too hard. I tried gliding, but I always just fell down. It felt like I could never get enough speed, or that gravity was too strong, or both.
\nStill, being a dragon and burning things was satisfying, I just wish the controls were easier. I think changing what W does is part of the problem. Imo, it should keep you moving forward even while in the air. I know that logically this doesn’t make sense ( you have nothing propelling you), but fun factor wise then I could just glide around and kill stuff, which would be cool.
\nStill, graphically impressive and the fire breathing is awesome!

\nFeedback:
\nWoah!
\nThe main controls (running around, flying, and especially gliding) feel really nice. I liked the run animation, too, haha
\nAs some others mentioned, swooping and grabbing something was a little too hard. Once I’m close enough to an animal to grab it, I’m already hitting the ground. Maybe if you could tweak it to “latch on” to an animal at a greater distance, that would be cool.
\nBut yeah, just running and flying around the island was fun :)

I think if there is a goal in the game to let player to achieve will be better. Also, the dragon cannot turn the direction while flying. A little bit hard to control the dragon especially when I want to go up to the hill.

It was running at a pretty low framerate on both Chrome and FF on linux for me, and that might have affected the controls, since I had a real hard time controlling the dragon. It was fun to shoot fire though, and I can imagine it being really good with just a few fixes to the performance and controls.

If there’s something else using your GPU in the background it can happen, although I’ve had it happen to me without that for certain particularly inefficient versions of the code, so I suspect it’s hardware dependent.
