What players say

Players praise the charming story, beautiful pixel art, and the satisfying glide mechanic that lets you control a dragon through a short, sweet adventure. The game is very brief, about an hour or two, and has multiple endings based on choices. Many note that controls can feel awkward until you get used to them, and the final boss presents a notable difficulty spike.
