Downhill Dragons cover

Downhill Dragons

By ShortPlay Studio

The Frost Troll has stolen a backpack full of dragon eggs and is waddling for his cave at the bottom of the mountain. Catch him! One button is all you need: hold to tuck and speed down the slopes, let go to launch off the hills, and tap to flap through the air. Your dragon breathes fire automatically. Stay close to the troll to burn him and shake the eggs loose. Dodge bats bursting out of the oak trees, icicles from the ice towers' evil birds, and goblin archers in their wooden forts, then torch the goblin guards at the cave mouth in a rainbow FIRESTORM when your flames join together. Play alone or with up to 4 players on one screen: a couch game made for families. All of the art was drawn by kids, on paper, and brought to life as paper cutouts.
