A maze puzzle game inspired by Pac-man where you control Tamagon, a green dragon. Each round is broken up into two stages. The first stage has you powering up by touching a cross so you can pick up all of the dots on screen. The second stage has you picking up and depositing Bibles to the center of the maze. While playing the screen pans around in four directions with enemies trying to stop you. Powering up or picking up a Bible allows you to breath fire to defend yourself.

6A unique puzzle game that is fun but difficult to play for long periods of time. Puzzle fans liking the simplicity of it's inspiration will be turned off by the complexity of it's gameplay.
