About Dragon Kisser
Dragon Kisser is a single‑boss arcade game where you control Domingo, a confident village rooster, in a three‑step showdown against a dragon. The experience is built for short, replayable sessions that blend fast reflexes with charm‑based minigames. The game was created as a BYU Center for Animation capstone project, released as a free‑to‑play single‑player title with full controller support and Steam achievements, but ongoing updates are unlikely as the student team graduates.
01 / THE GUIDE
Gameplay Overview
Players guide Domingo through a three‑step process: dodge the dragon’s attacks, win its affection via romance‑themed minigames, and finally survive the Gauntlet. Success rewards a final kiss with the dragon, marking victory.
The game emphasizes quick reflexes in the dodge phase and timing in the romance and Gauntlet phases, offering a concise arcade loop designed for repeated short plays.
- Observe the dragon’s attack patterns early to anticipate safe dodge windows.
- Treat each phase as a separate skill test; focus on mastering one before moving to the next.
02 / THE GUIDE
Dodge Mechanics
The first step requires you to swiftly jump and twirl out of the dragon’s attacks. Successful dodging may grant the dragon a moment to listen to you.
Timing and movement are the only inputs needed here; the game does not describe additional abilities during this phase.
- Practice the jump‑twirl combo in early attempts to build muscle memory.
- Watch for visual cues that signal an incoming attack to improve dodge timing.
03 / THE GUIDE
Romance Minigames
After impressing the dragon, civilians throw items to help Domingo. Catching these items lets you present them to the dragon, shifting the stage to a romance focus.
Playing these minigames earns romance points; failing can increase difficulty, but the description does not detail specific penalties.
- Prioritize catching items reliably, since playing these minigames well is how you earn romance points.
- Stay calm during the minigames; steady input tends to yield better results.
04 / THE GUIDE
The Gauntlet
The final challenge combines all previously learned skills into a rapid series of minigames. Passing the Gauntlet grants the right to kiss the dragon.
The Gauntlet is presented as a barrage of minigames all at once, requiring consistent performance.
- Maintain the rhythm you established in earlier phases; consistency helps during the rapid succession.
- If you stumble early, reset your focus quickly to avoid cascading errors.

Development & Support
The game was planned, developed, and tested over less than a year by BYU Animation students, intended as a learning project. Ongoing support depends on individual team members’ schedules.
Bugs can be reported, but updates post‑release are unlikely as the team moves toward graduation and careers.
- Report any bugs through the provided channels to help the developers track issues.
- Expect limited post‑release changes; enjoy the game as a finished student project.
