Super cool art and music love the vibes.


wasn't able to play fully on linux but that's really not suppose to be played on so on me.

but yeah weirdly the cursor wasn't capture by wine (the windows application launcher) so when my cursor hit the screen border I could not rotate more. Anyway I think I capture every dinos that way or perhaps 7/8.

And I want to share my suberb dino-plant too not a Brachiosaurus this time.

I think this one is suppose to be on the other side so I was thinking XRay vision but couldn't test due to not be able to rotate  too much.

I would have made a linux and mac version, but didn't have time to upload.  Glad it somewhat worked for you anyway!

The plesiosaurus (or its collider) is in the water that can be see here. It should be too far away to capture. But apparently not this time! 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe something in the code order

Very cute graphics. My 3 year old loved it.

Couldn't get a good picture of the flying dino on top of the vulcano for some reason.


I also managed to photograph this dino:

lol, I'm aware of the bug but it happenes so randomly that I couldn't figure out its cause on time.

The Tupandactylus on top of the volcano is suppossed to be hard as it's flying through smoke. So you only have a short window to photograph it. I should maybe slow it down a bit though

Love the music, so mellow and soothing. Fun visuals and a great game to lose yourself in!

Very chill and cute game, had a lot of fun walking around exploring this little world. Only feedback I have is having an in-game indicator of how many dinosaur there are vs how many you have taken pictures of would be helpful. I went and snapped all the ones I could find in the first 3 minutes and then spent the last two just walking around checking out the world wondering if I missed anything or not. Other than that a very pleasant experience. Great work!

I was heavily inspired by pokemon snap, so wanted to keep a bit of mystery of how many dinosaurs there were so you'd be surprised. But you're probably right that for such a short game it would be better to have an indicator

All around good experience. I enjoyed the concept. Very reminiscent of Pokemon Snap from the N64, and it has its own charm. Everything feels good together too. I enjoyed climbing the volcano and being around the dinos. My son watched me play this one as well, and that’s a bonus since he knew the dinos! I felt the mouse control of the camera was a bit weird but couldn’t quite put my finger on why. No jump, but of course that did add to the difficulty of scaling the volcano. Some of those dinos were hidden very well too, great work.

Thank you! The camera reacts a little behind the mouse, that's probably what feels a little off. These things are hard to design right hehe
