    Me too. Thanks. You can claim another called Draco. I found it when I
    went to claim dracomaton. :)

    I expected to not take either of these. "Dracomaton", I thought, was
    one of those endless automation/factory games which, while
    conceptually interesting, don't have enough to them to hold my
    interest very long (and certainly not across multiple games). But
    instead, "Dracomaton" was a bullet-hell shooter. These too are fairly simplistic, but at least they're visually exciting... so I grabbed it.

    Similarly, I expected "Kitchen Wars" to be something of a "Automachef"
    clone, but instead its more of a party game. I can't imagine playing
    it... but maybe it'll happen. Anyway, it made The Number happy.

    So I got 'em both.

    Also, as MikeS pointed out:

    * Draco
    https://store.steampowered.com/app/2162750/Draco/
    A very retro 2D mascot-platformer. Run and jump left as
    a tiny dragon. I passed on this one.


    Thanks all for the notifications.
