No, it's very totally cute! :-D I found a site that allowed you to save games, but it seems to be a bit buggy... The first few times the dragon disappeared, and when I figured out what to do (reload the game), I can't seem to kill it. Nothing I do makes it lose health (and it's suppose to work if you shoot it, I've googled it :-P). Annoying.

Have you played Samorost? It's short and really psychodelic. Very cute. The sequel is better (more thought-through and more tricky), but I totally recommend both! :-D

Well, if you're gonna shoot at it, as far as I understand, you gotta hit specific points where he's weak. And he loses very little health if you shoot him. You gotta listen to the princess. Climb up the pillars, jump on his back and pull his ears.

eta: just tried it, and indeed it was very cute. Little too complicated for my tastes. I like my problems in black and white with a straight-forward beginning and end. Pretty much exactly like Shift. Those are fun! My favourite is probably 2.

When I tried jumping on his back last time, nothing worked. I'll give it another go, though. Sometime. :-P

Samorost has a straight forward beginning and end! Amazingly so, actually. I'll take a look at Shift, though!

But it doesn't. You have to spontaneously click everything at random until you figure out how it all belongs together. (Kinda like how Shift 3 is too complicated because there are inter-connecting rooms and you gotta do stuff in other rooms to get things to happen in the first. Too complex.)

Strange with the dragon. I mean, it took a few tries for me to figure out how not to get really really killed by him before I had time to jump on his back, but if you're on the top platform on the pillars he can't reach you, and then you jump as close as his head as possible and hit A to pull.

Shift 1 was nice (quick :-P), Shift 2 is a bit too complicated for my tastes. Escpecially since I can't find anywhere to save the game, which means you have to start from the beginning everytime you've restarted the computer and such. Gah.

I'm quite fond of this one at the moment: http://armorgames.com/play/505/sonny
Zombiefighting on a simple level, nice. And with a backstory.

You sure there's no way to save?? I feel like there's a save-option on Shift 2... I know that there is one on Shift 3 (I've used it).

Sonny is too much thinking and talking for me... I've been playing a bit of this lately: http://armorgames.com/play/2091/the-egg :P
