Played it a few days ago when it came out. I was disappointed that collecting all of the elements(?) didn’t produce a special breath.

The music is oddly reminiscent of Brokeback Mountain.

Can you link us to his personal website? Armorgames blocked at many workplaces and I imagine it would draw attention to his other good work more efficiently than linking to works you’ve reported on previously.
Really, I just want to play it on lunch break.

Jumping on commoners makes a really satisfying sound.

Shit, that XX should’ve said “Weir”. Bad editing on my part.

I guess I was also hoping for the different permutations of stages (colour, power, interacting with village, hero) to have more of an outcome on each other and on the final ending. Both Colours and Dragon, in their simplicity, really lend well to exploring permutations. I was never bored or uninterested in finding the different abilities or colours here, but it did seem like the previous stages should’ve had more of an effect on the hero stage, which they don’t seem to. Which is too bad, because XX does a great job of allowing influencing you to explore and create your own narrative. The little things like armour in the basement, the noose, the bloodied villagers, really allow you to think that there’s more going on than is explicit, but the surface narrative and limited interactions leave me feeling a little unsatisfied.

I’m really looking forward to seeing what Weir does next.

*ahem* Flower, even.

Completionists: don’t forget that you can be a completely ineffectual dragon who never eats, heals, burns, grows, or stomps on anyone or anything.

(This is about as interesting as it sounds, though.)
