DRAGONFARE

A cab that flies by the passenger's rules

DRAGONFARE puts you in the saddle of Emberwick's flying cab. Twelve shifts cross Market Roofs, Clocktower Heights, and Stormcliff Harbor. Every hail is a rule: one passenger cannot abide a dive, another pays extra for one, and the Bell Twins argue about the trip.

Finish a regular's story and their lantern lights on the roost wall. Push someone past their limit and they bail at the next rooftop, leave something on the hoard shelf, and may need winning back on a later route called The Long Way Home.

Stick, flap, and the glowing beam

Steer with the on-screen stick, or with WASD and the arrow keys. Release the stick and the dragon brakes into a hover. Hold the flap button or Space to climb, then release to glide. Rooftops act as a floor, so a glide does not crash you.

A dive is a full-forward stick plus flap, folding the wings for speed. Use it only when the hail allows it. Landings want the glowing beam, inside the bright ring's height band, taken slowly. Silk landings multiply the tip.

Bramble will not accept a dive

Shift 1 begins over Market Roofs with the dragon perched on a pad. The first hail is Bramble, tagged NO DIVES. EVER., traveling from Market Square to the Flight-School Annex. Holding flap lifts the dragon off the perch before any steering begins.

Read that tag before leaving the pad. The same climb that starts the fare becomes the mistake the passenger will not forgive if the stick is pushed into a dive on the way.

Guide

Steer: Push the on-screen stick, or use WASD or the arrow keys; release the stick to brake into a hover
Flap: Hold the flap button or Space to climb, then release to glide down
Dive: Push the stick fully forward and hold flap to fold the wings; some passengers forbid dives
Land: Ease into the glowing beam, inside its height band, slowly enough for a silk landing
Fares: Read the hail tag and fly that passenger's way before their patience runs out

Creator's description
