It looks nice, the sounds are cool (but there's not a lot of them ), I feel like the repetitive music should be annoying, but it's not. The problem is it's a hi-score game, but it's not showing any score. Best strategy I found was to stay still, pump the space and shoot like crazy - until a dino spawns on top of you.

Sorry that it wasn't displaying the score, I was in a rush to get it to a complete enough state to submit and forgot to test for multiple resolutions and it doesn't scale right at some resolutions. It should display properly on any 16: 9 resolution. I wish I had more time to fix the enemies spawning on the player as well, I'm hoping the current state is passable as jam jank. I'll be posting a new version of the game at some point in the future with these simple fixes at the very least. Thank you for the feedback.

Kudos to have made a playable prototype in 100 hours!

Unfortunately, WASD doesn't work with all keyboards :( so the added space bar hitting requirement made it very hard to handle.

Also where is the hamster? I was promised a hamster! Then I realized I had to play in 1080p to see the hamster. ;)

Sorry to hear that the hamster doesn't work for all resolutions, I should have checked for this before submitting. Thanks for the input, I'll look into input alternatives and make sure the hamster works for different resolutions when I upload this again as a separate project later.
