It packs a definite just-one-more-time draw to rank on the leaderboards." - http://toucharcade.com "Dragon Panic offers a unique rushing raw excitement that players would enjoy irrespective of age." - http://iphonefootprint.com "The general look and feel is very reminiscent of games for the C64. If you want a fun, undemanding look back, Dragon Panic is definitely a title to check out." - http://zaxxon1-retrogames.blogspot.com Help Berny and Blaze, the adorable pink and green dragons, thwart the cowardly knight by incinerating his barrage of attacks in his quest for fame, fortune, and of course the princess.
