I believe you have to buy part 2 from the developers or mophun, or where it came from.

When it refers to 'parts' it means levels in the game not actual mpn files for the main game. You gotta purchase/download 2 further 'quests' to complete the game. Alas I can't seem to find these add on quests. Also if they cost £4.50 a pop then thats a total of £13.50 for a mobile game and thats a total rip-off (even if it is the best mobile game i've ever seen!). I paid the full £4.50 for Dragon Tale, i'm willing to shell out another £9 to complete it. If anyone else can shed any more light on these 'add-on quests' please do.

Put it this way, you've got to get another 3 mpn files for quest 2 and another 3 mpn files for quest 3. Which in essence makes them games in their own right but a rip off none the less. |

Now i understand... what a rip off, i would be well pissed if i'd payed £4.50 for dragontale, it on took 20mins max to complete that "quest".
And the developers wonder why we rather go to "certain" sites to get our free games (even if they are short) than pay £4.50 (must admit it was fun while it lasted even if that were'nt long) |

Yea Dragon Tale is a fantastic game, sadly not a real RPG but a grossly streamlined hack'n'slash in the vein of Zelda. Yay.. couldn't wait to get my hands on it! And then a dose of cruel reality.. its hubris is an unexpected one for games of this type.. being that its WOEFULLY short! 
Now to give you some idea, after a Bud went down badly I slouched in bed and picked up my 2-quest (of a total of 4) version of Dragon Tale.. and very soon gleaned that its collision detection is biased forwards a precious few pixels, and ANY of the enemies can be dispatched quite easily by slashing when they're some distance away from you.
Cleaned up the guards, onto the ship, and into the Spider dungeon within 15 minutes. That didn't take too long (although the power-ups were great fun) and even the boss was a doddle given your weapon has a 'knock back' effect similar to Zelda on the SNES.
Next.. off to rescue the girl, another 15 minutes max when you realise that those hooded goons make a runner for it if you've smacked them once!
And then it hits you.. for the £4.50 paid you get (or in my case DON'T get and have to download illegally) a frugal, albeit graphically impressive, half hour or so of mobile fun. Now how hard is it exactly to make new tile-based dungens for this thing? Surely not sufficiently so to justify demanding as much dosh for the final two quests? ...which aptly brings me onto the inevitable question: where the hell can us suckers get THAT from even if we're willing to splash out?
I'm off to re-check the menus to see if theres difficulty levels.. I guess there's more play to be had if I just re-do it.
In the meantime, I recommend IceBlox, Courier Bob and Cap'n Lunar
