Very interesting! And clever game design. Focusing on the many small annoyances and problems allowed me to empathize with your situation, despite the fact that I still can't imagine how it must feel to be born in the "wrong" body. Still the concept is less "alien" and "weird" than before playing (and thinking) about it.

I also don't want to critisize the simple gameplay. It didn't provide challenge or fun as much as it kept me in the flow and helped my usually erratic attention to stay focused on the topic. A job well done.

All in all a great example of how games (as a media) can provide more meaningful/deep experiences than the usual flash-game even aims for.

[Blood Wars: Vedroid's]

Fun but could use polish

I've sadly played more then enough games of that type so I couldn't supress a little *yawn* when I found out this was another one. But as far as I can say your's has been one of the better ones. :)

Doesn't mean it couln't use some more polish:

I really missed a fun reward for kiliing multiple enemies in one hit. Display the kill count, play some "Momomonsterkillll!" sound or give a score bonus. (I realize the score multiplayer is supposed to do that but changes in the fractional part of a number seem not very thrilling! ;)

Also, I found the upgrade selection screen pretty confusing and never really figured out some of the powerups: Like the satanic rune thingy.

Lastly I might not have played long enough to reach different enemy-types but I guess a bug infestation is the most boring army of foes I can imagine. No offense meant but that mix of Starship Troopers with Starwars just doesn't work for me.

[Flightless Dragons]

Fun!

I loved the little animations of the dragons. Also the first levels that had these little tutorial texts did a great job at teaching the rules AND rewarding for progress.

But most of the later levels were a little too easy. I would have hoped for some more challenging puzzles.
