Dragon Tail — About this game
Dragon Tail turns its spikes into both weapons and footholds on the way to the dragon Lore. Fire into walls, jump onto the embedded spikes and break suitable bricks to open a route. Only two spikes can remain at once, so a new shot can erase the very step you planned to use next; looking around in map mode helps prevent that mistake.
