Dragon Races (Mini Micro text-only game)

jstrout

I participated in the Text Only Jam this week, and banged out Dragon Races.

This is a racing game, where you place bets on dragons competing as they chase some unlucky schmuck from the king's dungeons referred to as the "Rabbit".

There are a lot of little jokes and rare events hidden in the game. I hope it brings you a smile! And, of course, feel free to hit Control-C and poke around in the code. 🙂

Looks like a fun idea. Unfortunately I haven’t even booted up my PC for a week, as it’s too hot to work in my study, so I haven’t been able to try it out. I’ll have a look fi we ever get a break in the weather.

OK so I had a chance to play. Quite fun, although it shows me why I don't gamble. The narration makes the game. Nice job.

Just to follow up: this game won 2nd place in the Text-Only Game Jam. Proof that you don't need fancy graphics to make a fun game! 😃
