A worthy if brief throwback to classic Sierra-type games (ex. early King's Quest), though not (quite) as punishing! I enjoyed the narrator's commentary, although I would have liked subtitles or optional subtitles since at times it was hard for me to make out his dialogue, and the sudden genre-shifts (and art-shifts) of the minigames were unexpected but added a more dynamic character to the game itself. I didn't pass them all on the first try, so I appreciate that you were given two chances to 'die' before you had to restart; I'm not great at even simple platformers, but it didn't get frustrating and I wound up replaying it several times to try different paths. I liked the humor in both the text and the narration, though I also appreciated the ability to cut off the narration and move onto the next scene after hearing the same thing repeatedly while trying to pass specific minigames. Again, they weren't unfair or unresponsive, I'm just not great at them.
Nonetheless, I had a lot of fun playing Quest to the Dragon's Lair, so thanks for making it available!
Thanks for the rating and feedback, I'm glad you liked our game! Subtitles is a good idea, something we definitely missed when making this game. I would put some in, but unfortunately it looks like this game isn't found by many people, so it would be too much effort for too few players.

Hey Emberbright,

Thanks, SneakySnail.
