Fun game, I really like it.

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Woah, great concept. I did find it to be a bit to easy though, so I made sure to die right at the end

Developer

interesting approach! :)

Submitted

This game is so cool! I love the concept of only having one attempt and failure resulting in increased difficulty. The controls are very fluid and polished. I loved sneaking around trying not to get caught and eventually gaining access to the lab. The background music was absolutely perfect for the sneaking sections. The leaderboard is also a nice touch and I'm proud to say I've made it to the Wall of Fame! Very unique and innovative game, great work!

Developer

Yay thanks for playing! Glad you made it on the wall of fame!

Loved Triceratops guy VA, fun premise.
A spawn effect upon dropping an egg would be nice.

Also, I think I got softlocked in a dino room - could not find the way out.

Developer

Developer

Thank you!

Hey, I tried your game, and it looks really cool! I love the old-school PSX-style graphics, and the music and voice acting are just perfecto ! The game is crazy and fun. I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately, I ran into a bug and got stuck on a ladder in front of the building after the guards (right at the start). I managed to get out, but it put me back in, and I ended up getting caught. Just wanted to let you know!

Developer(+1)

thanks for playing - sorry to hear about the bug! Yeah the ladders a bit tricky and I ran out if time to smooth them out more. 

Submitted

No worries, I totally get it, game jams are always a race against time. Despite that, I really enjoyed the game! By the way, if you have some time, feel free to check out my game too!

Goofy but fun. Nice style.

I am a simple person, I see dinosaurs and I click

Anyway this was so much fun, the leaderboard and threats of making it harder for other players made it so much more stressful haha- I'm not sure if it was intentional to get like 20 rex eggs in the end but it was very good

Developer

haha! 20 trex eggs doesnt sound intentional, but super fun! Thanks for playing :)

See dinosaurs and click you say? ^,~ (try Bouncy Bouncy Dino?)

Submitted

cool and fun !

Developer

thank you!

Submitted

Yooo, I actually love this game! I did run into a glitch that made a bad dude go on top of a dinosaur, which made the game impossible to win. The T-rexs couldnt get him. idk, but W game! Love dinosaurs!

Developer(+1)

ahh darn!!! Glad you had fun at least :) thanks for playing.

Hell yeah dinosaurs. Really cool

Developer

yes!! Thanks!

Fun concept! I like that it gets harder the more people play. I did end up getting stuck after jumping down from a roof really early on though. I couldn't tell if I was supposed to be able to get out, but I threw my dino around everywhere I could think of and he didn't seem to be able to break anything that would get me out.

Developer

darn, sorry to hear that! Its tough with this idea if a bug causes failure, let me know and i can reset your name so you can try again.

Submitted

Well, I failed! But this is a super-unique and entertaining entry! I definitely didn't expect to be playing a 'throw-an-egg-and-spawn-a-dinosaur-to-break-open-shipping-containers' game, lots of charm and character, and the controller feels smooth. Good job!

Developer

Thank you!!

Submitted

Very fun!

Developer

thanks!

Loved it. Hall of fame didn't seem to be working for me unfortunately.
Guards were pretty easy to avoid, but I don't know how the difficulty goes up as more players fail

Thanks! It seems to be working now (hopefully). The increased difficulty comes later with the waves of enemies.
