We are proud to bring to you Drag'n'Boom, a dynamic physics based game where you play a young dragon raiding castles to create your treasure. (So you can sleep on it when youre old!). When developing the game, we tried to create a fast paced shooting game, offering a lot of control through dragging and swiping your fingers on the screen, while still offering ways to properly aim to your target through a slow motion mechanism. I'm Loïc, artist and game designer of Drag'n'Boom (Also worked on King Tongue). With Romain, we are the team of two behind this game, helped by Pierre-Jean for the music and Grégory for the sound design. We'll be happy to have your feedback on the game and to discuss about its development if you're interested Here's a GIF to show you what you can do in the game!

I haven't seen these mechanics implemented in a game until now. I cheerfully plunked down shekels for this action platforming gem Qwertz555 Well-Known Member May 22, 2010 2,318 29 48 #3 Qwertz555, Sep 13, 2017 I only played two levels but dropped the two bucks immediately (though i've not seen an ad). No idea how the game evolves, but the top responsive controls are spot on. And they developped my beloved King Tongue. This game is in the vain of that. Oh, and it's free. metalcasket Moderator Staff Member Patreon Silver Patreon Gold Patreon Bronze May 24, 2010 11,065 1,342 113 Deepest Circle, Hel #4 metalcasket, Sep 13, 2017 What is this blasphemy? A mobile game in 2017 that takes a tried and true mechanic to create one of the most unique, well thought-out experiences? HOW COULD YOU!?!? Literally played the first level and bought the IAP. I'd do it again if I could. atash55 Member Apr 2, 2014 20 0 0 Game Developer #5 atash55, Sep 13, 2017 Any chances of an android version? shfrost Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2010 432 10 18 Artist Wooded area #6 shfrost, Sep 13, 2017 So good! I haven't seen this mechanic used before, at least not like this. The controls are superb -- this coming from an old guy who can't usually keep up with agile whippersnappers. Graphics are sharp. Animation is excellent. I would have purchased after playing just one level but I didn't want to stop, so I'm now about to purchase after four levels. But I wanted to stop off here to add an additional thumps up, way up! Good job all around. # W8rd3 Well-Known Member Aug 21, 2017 123 49 28 Human paper weight In a human dwelling #7 W8rd3, Sep 13, 2017 Haha I Metal Casket I did the same thing, one level in was all it took to convince me, especially after I found out you could juggle the enemies! This one surprised me, and is a lot of fun, I have a feeling this is going to be the type of game where I'm sad when it runs out of levels terang Active Member Feb 18, 2017 44 3 8 #8 terang, Sep 13, 2017 Yea make survival mode and add skin for the dragon, this game is so damn good KeKhan Well-Known Member May 28, 2012 1,381 43 48 #9 KeKhan, Sep 13, 2017 There is an endless mode I heard, not sure when it unlocks. Agreed with the general response - thus game is awesome. Great controls, great art, great physics. You can launch into a slope just right and the momentum will take you just like that old classic, tiny wings. Later on the levels get more difficult with enemies that fight back (damn those mages!) The different fireballs you unlock have different effects and physics, and I find new ways to play the same game with each unlock.

I can't tell you how much your messages and feedback we received so far mean to us! We are particularly happy how you are enjoying the controls, because when Loïc and I started to work on Drag'n'Boom, it was one of the first thing we focused on. And we didn't really think it would take us so much time to get it right. We initially planned to make the game in 3 months, but because of this and many unforeseen challenges, we ended up working twice that time on it. We'd be more than happy discuss about these challenges and the development of the game with you Let us start with the top of our whiteboard at the very beginning of the project: Attached Files: whiteboard-1.jpg File size: 43.8 KB Views: 228 whiteboard-2.jpg File size: 30 KB Views: 85 FiloMJ Well-Known Member May 16, 2015 1,407 22 38 Male #11 FiloMJ, Sep 13, 2017 Only 50 levels? Looks good anyway... shfrost Well-Known Member Apr 9, 2010 432 10 18 Artist Wooded area #12 shfrost, Sep 13, 2017 Good to see you on the forum, Romain. I'm sure you'll get some good feedback from the community, including me once I log a few more hours of gameplay. Congrats on a fine, fun game. Though I've only played for a short time, this is absolutely one of my favorites of the last few weeks. Deserving of much attention and accolades, imo. orangecan Well-Known Member Aug 9, 2011 2,000 150 63 #13 orangecan, Sep 13, 2017 Same here, one level and I was hooked. It's the second game this week that's made me all nostalgic about the way iOS games used to be. Very good fun indeed.

Loïc again (Art and GD on the game). Thank you for your messages I wanted to show you the creative process behind Drag'n'Boom. Often it begins in my notebooks. I love notebooks. For me it's like external hard drives for the brain. Here you can see my collection: and the the two I used for Drag'n'Boom. The brown one for the gamedesign ideas. The cactus one one for the Art ideas. When we brainstorm with Romain, I prefer A3 sheet of paper to be able to doodle a lot of ideas on big spaces. Tell me if it you want to see more things about our process. I am glad you like the game.

I knew there was a game with tight controls and similar mechanics. You are also the developer of King Tongue! This one is really cool too. Not restricting the player with time limit in my opinion is a better choice comparing to King Tongue. I have one sort of technical question. Game doesn't feel like 60 FPS on my iPad Air 2. Is it because physics are too much to handle for my device (i know it's old)? Saying this because I have seen a lot of Unity games on my device running at 60 FPS but they feel sluggish, maybe it has something to do with camera I don't know. BTW I always love to see game-dev behind the scene stuff. Thank you (both) for that.
