    NOEN will definitely be here at some point. Psience...? Dunno. He needs to get rid of his silly one game per week rule. Total respect for him following through with it, but it doesn't make it any less silly. :p

    Hehe. Sorry. I slept in this morning.
    GO AND BUY THIS GAME!! Seriously. It's such a fun game!!! It's been crazy this week with so many good games, but this is a MUST BUY in my opinion. I've been trying to play a little of every game that's been released, so I'm not really far into this one, but from what I played, it's beautiful.

    Wow this game is fantastic. Totally surprised me and took me away from Implosion and $10 I wouldn't have Lol I agree with earlier posts, it would be really cool to make comet shower and ice storm abilities that we could "cast" ourselves. It could be implemented like Magic Touch and activated once collecting the power-up. Add in the ability to collect several of each and extend runs.....that would be quite nice.

    Well, considering Death Worm predates Super Mega Worm, Death Worm is THE Super Mega Worm.

    Oh, and you're not commanding a worm here. There can only be one Super Mega Dragon, and this right here is it. :p

    Well, i bought Implosion for this week, and i finally decided to buy this as well, considering i had 4 weeks of no-buy these past months... I gotta admit, multiple mentions here gave me the push i needed to purchase, and im totally glad i did.

    I'll post imps on my next post... Dont want to include this here as this is more of a reply to MC's post. But hey, my one-purchase per week works, and i was recently able to buy a new acoustic guitar and a 1-hp air conditioner for my room coz of that. LOL!

    My imps:

    You know that feeling when you see a trailer for a game, and it's a really good looking game inspired by a game you already like? I dont know about you guys, but when i saw Dragon Hills' trailer i was like: "wow this looks like another fantastic take on the Tiny Wings base formula, which was also used in great games like Time Surfer and Rad Boarders." That basically translates to the question: how does this clone stand up to the others like it?

    Well, i was totally wrong on that thought. Dragon Hills may have used the "tap and hold to descend, release to rise" control scheme of Tiny Wings, but this game takes that into a totally different direction. Kinda like how Fotonica used the same control scheme, but the application was surprisingly new and fresh.

    Dragon Wing's mechanics give you absolute control of your movement within the Dragon's pathing rules and physics, where in tiny wings, you are restricted to jump off slopes or slide down them to gain momentum. It's kinda hard to explain, but the handling and the physics of the dragon's movement is very easy to adapt yourself into.

    I love chaos in games. Reason why i think Time Surfer is the best Tiny Wings-inspired title... WAS the best. Dragon Hills surpassed that for me easily. How? Totally fresh take on the genre, and a premium price tag with zero IAP. Oh, and it is full of the chaos-y bits that i love in these action oriented runners. You eat enemy knights, destroy houses and forts, wreck carriages, eat sheep and horses, and tiny bits and pieces fly around as you wreak havoc onto the game's Rebel Twins-esque world.

    You know a game's totally unique, when you are fumbling for words to describe the game, and Rebel Twins definitely put a knot in my tongue with Dragon Hills.

    Forgot to mention i also love the mission-progressing endless nature of the game as opposed to a pure endless formula.

    Really enjoying this right now, and im pretty sure anyone who picked/picks it up do too, coz this game is just plain fun all around.

    Cheers!

    after maxing the dragon armor, the sword and the Black Dragon, things progress much much smoother, and i am now at level 20 and beating a boss almost every run. Lava is still a frustration because of instakill, but it doesnt affect me so often now.

    I really hope the devs come back to this to add more content, maybe different unlockable dragons and princesses! Otherwise the most fun game from "tap to fall release to rise" for me. Congratulations to the devs!

    I have no idea how I missed this... Since Night Flight, Rebel Twins have been a fav dev team of mine... Still have all their games on my phone after all this time...

    I haven't played much (I just got the first heart upgrade), but I'm totally diggin this... Excited to get further into it.

    Been following Touch Arcade for a while but had o create an account just to comment on this game!

    It's enjoyable, I like the level system - upgrades some quickly, who doesn't want to play a dragon is all I'm saying!

    I do worry how repeatable it will seem in a week or two, but until then.. I am a dragon.

    So... I'm hooked. I'm at level 32 ATM... And can not stop. I think this might bump Crumble Zone outta my #1 favorite spot for Rebel Twins games. I don't want to say for sure... Depends on how it plays once I unlock everything... But it's definitely a step up from Aliens Drive Me Crazy. =oD
