Something is sleeping on your desktop. Maybe don’t poke it.


Desk Dragon is a side-scrolling platformer built for your Windows desktop. Run and jump through handcrafted procedural levels, stomp enemies, grab coins, and collect classic power-ups. Then watch the story go completely off the rails when a dragon wakes up and takes over your computer.


What You’ll Play


- Ten platforming worlds plus a secret finale, including grasslands, deserts, ice, jungle, and volcanoes

- Classic power-ups: grow big, fire flowers, stars, spring boots, and extra lives, plus Easy Mode for a gentler run

- A choice halfway through: after World 1-5, keep exploring or skip ahead toward the dragon

- Full controller support with remappable buttons. Plug in a gamepad, and the game shows your shoot button instead of just saying “Press C”

- Synth soundtrack and sound effects, generated in real time with no audio files


When the Dragon Wakes Up
