What was the theme you used for your entry?
Dinosaur Styled Collectathon Stealth game

What was the most challenging part of making your entry?
This is my second jam, the previous one I did was GJ2 and we had a week for that one. So this is my first time trying to make something truly functional in just 48 hours and oh boy i was feeling the crunch. In a good way though, this was great motivation to make something I would not have without the incentive! ALSO I started out using movement scripts from another project im working on that turned out to be totally wonky and unnecessary for this game and I regret it all but I didn't have time to redo everything. so we dinos with fucky anims and theyre walking through trees and what have you. It be like that sometimes.

What was the most fun part?
WORKIN WITH MY PAL !!! this is the first time I've gotten to collab on a game with someone yeahhh ^-^

Anything else to add? (important controls, assets used, special mentions, etc)
Jackarais did all the art assets you see in this whole game in a day and is the real mvp. Controls are listed in the game description page

Artstyle is  very cute and lovely! And ending is funny. I also liked thoughts of the main character when he is near dinosaurs

THE most satisfying ending to a game ever. Also the game was pretty good. Thanks for that

What an ending! :D This was great. The art was really amazing and the music was used really well especially in the ending cutscene. I like the level design, and forcing you to run back and forth to your stump to collect bugs and stuff worked really well! Fantastic entry, well done to you both!

Thank you so much! ;__; It was a lot of fun to put it together so fast!

Developer

Lot's of fun! Didn't do as much stealthing as I would have thought but loved the idea and controls were smooth! Also the art looked fantastic!

Developer(+1)

Thanks!! YEAH stealthing became less necessary after i over-nerfed the dino aggro radius after the first playtesting XD it was brutal to start with but now its way easy, i will have to find a balance

really like the art for this one great job. The ending was funny as well

Developer(+1)

thank you!! Jackarais made all the graphics while I did the coding, I was stunned by their productivity :O There's so many more decorative sprites they made that I wasn't even able to fit in before we ran out of time!

Cute game, really like the story elements and the gamepla was fun. i liked the fact that you were restricted with the amount of food you could gather at one time

Developer

thank you! yeah I thought having to make a few trips across the map would make it a lil more interesting :D

Submitted(+2)

I absolutely loved the ending!! :D It was really fun to play, a bit challenging and every time a dinosaur came close I got really nervous, as it should be in a stealth game! Well done.

Also, how cute is that hiding animation?? Bonus points for that!

Developer

thank you!! haHA yeah the animations Jackarais made for this are incredible, I regret I didn't get the dinosaur aggression ones working for this version, the one for the rex is totally terrifying XD
