Our take on Dragons On Desktop
The viewing-first design keeps interaction to a few keyboard commands. That also means there is little to do beyond watching the dragons move, adding or removing them, and closing the game.
What is Dragons On Desktop?
Dragons On Desktop places animated dragons on the desktop.
They move autonomously, without requiring player input, and are intended for viewing rather than interaction. The game includes 13 dragons in two styles. Keyboard shortcuts control how many appear: Ctrl + “+” adds a dragon, Ctrl + “-” removes one, and Ctrl + “Q” exits the game. The dragons fly back and forth while the desktop remains available for normal computer operation. This is a viewing-focused desktop game, with control limited to adding or removing dragons and closing the game.
