Overall: a fun little game, with controls that work (apart from PC keyboards tending not to like detecting Left+Up+Space, but at least I can use Enter), and not too hard. There's no real challenge once you realise there probably isn't enough enemy fire to kill you, but that's OK. The only real problem is it gets boring when every level is exactly the same.

Genre: space dragons and space knights aren't really from different times, now, are they?

Artistic: you control a dragon. A space dragon, no less! I wasn't entirely convinced by the graphics that it wasn't a shark though. Generally the graphics are very simple, but they work.

Technical: saving the current level number is the simplest possible solution, but at least it's there. Parallax is there; prime numbers are in but not in any way that makes sense (not that this was easy). It's nice that there's a level transition implemented. There's nothing that leaps out as technical wizardry, but everything in there seems to be solidly put together.

Scores: Overall 4 Artistical 3 Technical 3 Genre 2

I don't know if I can write a fair review for this game. Half the time it crashed on when loading the level. The times it loaded the level without crashing, it took roughly a half-second to respond to input, making survival near-impossible.

From what I was able to play...
Genre: It certainly had the anachronistic dragon thing going, by pitting a space dragon against a horde of space knights.
Artistic: Well, the dragon and knights were recognizable enough. And the game had sound effects, which is more than I can say for mine.
Technical: I have to give a bad score here, since the game was almost unplayable for me.

Scores: Overall 2 Artistical 3 Technical 1 Genre 4
