Very cool role reversal! A little too easy, but still great executed.

I‘m so sick of it!!!!!!!!

Well the game is super easy to beat as there is no cooldown on the 3 cactus when you clicked on the 1 cactus. Other than that, great execution of the good old runner with great execution of the dino run art style.
Great job

Very nice, very fun and a great time buster!

Small scope, clean execution. The game delivered exactly what I expected, maybe after it can be refined with a bit more nuance to the dinosaur. I found it pretty easy to stop him by using two of the hazards at the same time. Well done!

It's a funny turn-around that doesn't overstay its welcome. Maybe jump timing could be a bit more variable.

A very fun simple spin off from the famous dino run game.

Well done! Congrats on completing your first jam!

Developer

maybe give the T-Rex an AI so you wont have to play it too.

Developer(+1)

Yes, the game already has a simple AI for the T-rex, so that it can detect obstacles in front and jump over them.

But the jump can also be activated by pressing the space key because I have forgotten to remove that part from the script :( Thank you so much for pointing that out! However you can simply play without ever pressing the space and focus on placing the obstacles, the T-rex will jump on its own.

Thank you! :D

This is my first-ever game jam submission!

I started a little late and progressed slowly. I could not complete everything and polish the game with sound effects, animation and other effects. But overall I'm so happy that I finished making a game :D 

Thank you GMTK!
