About the Game

Draguna Matata is a challenging puzzle game where you, a dragon baby, slither your way out of increasingly complex mazes. Flex your logic and navigation skills while facing the absurdities of life as a little dragon in a great rainforest. Grow bigger, gain powers, push boxes, and control the environment... all so that you can receive some solid unsolicited advice from the friends you make along the way!

Game Play

From the makers of this brilliant Steam page and not much else, comes a game with over 70 puzzle levels filled with navigation challenges and enough psychological traps to give you trust issues. Draguna Matata is a casual thinky puzzle that will have you figuring your way out of tight spaces as you experience a dragon's growth spurt years first hand.

As you grow bigger and maybe possibly wiser, you gain some awesome powers that let you control the world around you. In this modern twist on box-pushing Sokoban puzzles, immerse yourself (sometimes quite literally!) in the dynamic environment of shifting streams and plummeting pits. With Tiki torches to follow and forest fauna to find, there are areas to explore and pineapples aplenty for the true puzzle lover to collect.

Side effects may include but are not limited to teen angst, questioning your life choices, questioning the life choices of the makers of this game, sporadically feeling like an awkward dragon, sudden craving for pineapples. No dragons were harmed in the making of this game.
