It's the opportunity of a lifetime! You, a novice adventurer, have received news that an abandoned dragon's lair has just been discovered in the mountains. It's a veritable gold rush. Will you be the one who fights their way past the monsters and finds the dragon's hoard? 

Of course. Jump, run, and fight your way to riches. Just be careful with the magic items scattered around the area. There are some... side-effects.

This is a project for the Transformation Game Jam 2022 that, ah, didn't quiiiite finish in time. I went back to it later to fix some of the bigger issues, though, and it should be quite playable now.



If you encounter technical issues then re-loading the game (via the Pause menu) should usually get you out of a soft-lock. 

You may also have to disable fullscreen mode if you run into a problem, because for some reason that I don't understand, object positioning is very subtly different in windowed mode.

Please download a native build if you can, the web version might experience performance issues. Also, gamepad support isn't always so great.



Controls are listed in-game, and in the readme, but here they are again for easy reference. You can also use your MOUSE to CLICK ON STUFF in the menus.

Keyboard controls can be changed in-game.

"Please be merciful when you subjugate the countryside."

"May the Lord show you mercy.
For you will find none here." ~ Somebody else (IDK).

I can't escape the hidden room with the two treasures.  I drop down on the left side, and I don't appear on the next screen.  After a moment, my health drops to zero.

OMG IT UPDATED?

I immediately fall through the ground and die upon starting the game.

Hey, sorry to hear that. This is a weird occasional bug I can never seen to reproduce. It seems to be connected to playing in full screen, but not always. You could try a native build if it happens in the web version or vice versa.

I've also uploaded a hotfix that should hopefully make it less likely.

finally beat it, found some bugs too go up the drop cute in the the secret treasure cute and you die~

I put collision there to prevent that, but it never actually got enabled because the script checked the wrong flag. Whoops. Should be fixed now, thanks.

Loved the game! I managed to get all 3 main endings but with the last one I did I have discovered something probably not intentional(I think?). Kinda a spoiler so if you plan to play the game but didn't play yet, stop here and don't read any further. When I kill the boss and get the treasure but then I don't head for the exit straight away but go to the secret room, get the collar and then head for exit, it gave me the creature ending rather than escaping with the treasure ending. Which confused me a bit because I felt like the text didn't match the things I did (could have its own ending tho). Haven't checked that with the other item. I played on the linux version v101. Other than that nothing game breaking happened only minor bugs and falling out of bounds to death. Still, a solid short game and had fun reading all the transformations.

"Please be gentle when you conquer the countryside."

I will not, I will the countryside's ass! 

any tips to get the other endings

I start inside the ground.

Sorry to hear that. This is a weird glitch that I think depends on the resolution where you're running the game. Try starting again without resizing the window (toggling to full-screen is okay). The browser version should also work (including at fullscreen, I think).

Can I ask about the food? I don't know if it's just me but I can't interact with the food.

Hey there! The food is not interactive, it's just there for decoration. For a future update I'll have to think of a way to make that clearer.

There is a switch platform at the start what switch turns it on

you have to get the treasure 1st

Yea I was able to figure it out after a hour making the comment. I forgot to edit the comment.

ah

Pretty neat! Had a lot of fun playing the post-jam version, reading about the different transformations, and trying to find the different endings. Only found two of them, so I'm trying another run later. Nice game!

(+1)

It's fun for the most part only problem i really had with it was that the controls were really weird but ither than that it was pretty good.

(1 edit) (+2)

Pretty fun! The transformation scenes were all great, and the abilities gained from them were well implemented. I'm pretty sure I've seen all three four endings!

What's the intended method of getting from the tightrope area to the final room? I ended up using the fire grenade's explosion knockback to clip through the rope above the platform, but that didn't feel like it was the way you meant for that section to be solved.

(+1)

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

The intended method actually is to take damage - getting hit knocks you off the rope even if you have the balance upgrade. You can blow yourself up with a grenade or you can just run into the critter that's standing there.

(+1)

Ah, thank you!

How do you get the dragon tf?

It's been a little while, so this might be wrong.
