The animation, and the graphics in general, are just thrilling to look at.

HELL YEAH DINOSAURS!!! I LOVE THEMM!!! And for that you have my vote 😔

I really love the movement animation of the dinosaurs and the fact that you added a Dinopedia! I felt the walks were a bit tedious and long, though perhaps it's part of the experience 🤔 Still! This is a very solid entry and a solid interpretation of the theme mixed with something you love!

Thank you so much! AND YEAH DINOSAURS!!! LOVE THEM TOO! Really glad you like the movement animation because it was a real pain and took ages (I think it was my first time doing bone animation instead of just spritesheets) 😊
And yeah the journey is way too long especially for a game jam, maybe I will change that a bit in a future version.

A unique interpretation of the theme, probably the only dinosaur based game here which is awesome. The controls unfortunately were clunky enough it made it frustrating to play, otherwise a solid entry!

Thank you! Yeah understandable, I did want the player to commit to an action and not change it midway, but could have probably still made the controlls overall a bit more user friendly and less clunky, thats true!

"Such great art—you nailed it! I love that you took the time to add the Dinopedia. It was a bit hard to get the hang of at first, but rereading the tutorial really helped. Great job! Very cool to play a therizinosaurus!

Thank youu! I actually planned on doing actual Dinopedia entries with some information and art and all, but sadly ran out of time there :c maybe in the future though!

Very unique take on the theme! The game is pretty chill, and the overall idea is really cute. Nice job on the animations too! Would be nice to have a little more feedback from the game, especially during fights, since it was a bit confusing to know what I was doing against the T-rex. Other than that, great job :)

Interesting idea. I love that you went with a more unique spin on the theme - a mother protecting her one and only egg. The gameplay was a little challenging for me. I think maybe you need some number pop-ups, effects, and just a bit more game juice so the player knows when they're dealing damage or successfully eating, etc. It was a bit hard to know what was happening when the T-Rex is clobbering you. Nice work for just 72 hours! The cutout art style is really unique too.

Thank you for playing! Yes you are right, a bit more information for the player would probably bereally helpfull, maybe I can add that sometime in the future 😊
