![]() ![]() The player can eliminate wandering knights by having his dragon either eat them or grab them and throw them into a lava pit.There exist an Arcade mode with over 100 levels and a Story mode with 40 levels divided into four graphically distinct zones, with a giant boss at the end of each and featuring an upgrade system.I only found out about this game today. ![]() Only in some levels, they can attack flying enemies with ballistas. In this phase, the knights are very vulnerable. When the energy bar is depleted, the dragon rider loses his dragon and has to walk on foot in search for the nearest 'resurrection pad' to retrieve his dragon. When both are flying at the same height, none loses energy. When the player and a minion collide, the one flying higher at that moment wins and the other one loses life energy, indicated by a bar in the upper part of the screen. The most common enemy type are dragon riders in different colors but using the same sprite and animations, but there are also floating crystals and giant insects among others.Objective of the game is to defeat all enemies in each level. ![]() On most platforms are pads marked by a flag where enemy dragons are born and where the player can resurrect his dragon. The screen scrolls vertically and horizontally to keep the player centered. Some levels have lava pits in the ground floor and ladders or ropes that connect the higher platforms. Just as in Joust, flying is done by flapping the wings of the dragon and each button press corresponds to one wing flap.Each level consists of a floor and floating stone platforms above.
