About Dragon Simulator
Gliding is much easier to control than flying by flapping alone. Best achieved by swooping down on something on a ridgeline before it's aware you're there. Use of a mouse (not a track pad and definitely not touch/mobile) is recommended.
Dragon Simulator was submitted to the js13kGames 2023 competition by Chris Glover. It earned competition recognition. Like every js13k entry, the entire game — code, art, and audio — fits in 13 kilobytes, a constraint that rewards focused, clever design over bulk. You can catch live prey by flying low overhead.
How to Play
