Beautiful game, polished and pretty addictive, made me play several times shooting for a high score, haha. Very well done. :)

Submitted

This was really cute, loved how the meteors look as they are crashing in the ground. The moving away effect with the camera was so well done!

Submitted

Fun and addictive game with very simple controls. It was easy to get into but it is very hard to master! My game Nokia Pirate is just a simple platformer https://retrorealms.itch.io/nokia-pirate

Loved the graphics and gameplay, those boulders were quite tricky to avoid. I think things get a bit harder to see over time as things zoom out, but overall awesome animation and gameplay. Great job!

Submitted

Interesting take on endless runner genre.

Submitted

good game, especially the leaderboard

but it doesn't work in firefox :/

Developer

Oh really? why not?

Submitted

i don't know. other unity games are working fine but i have to use edge to play dino dash

Submitted

Fun and addictive, with really cool dynamic visuals

Submitted

Great job! The only problem I had with this game is that the visual gets too cluttered when you zoom out, so it's a bit difficult to see the hitboxes, but other than that it's really good!

Submitted

Great game! If this had been actually available on the 3310, people would've lost their minds.

Developer

Haha I might try see how feasible it'd be to get this game build onto a 3310 haha

Submitted

Nice! The leaderboard is definitely a nice touch!

If I want to nitpick a little, it's hard to see the dino after like 50, since it small, and it starts to dither. While this wouldn't really be a problem, The particles of the meteors make it hard to distinguish it sometimes. If not for the unfortunate dithering, I think the particles would have been fine, now they make it a little hard to see.

Overall nice game, the Dino animation is smooth, so is the running on the terrain overall. Great job!

Submitted

I love dino animation! Good job!

Submitted

Nice game. The setting was interesting and it gets your adrenaline pumping with all the chaos happening plus you still have to look "infront" to avoid obstacles. Very well done and makes you want to play more. Plus points for making the highscore system.

Submitted

That was really fun! Also the dino feels so fast and so smooth, feels niiice! Very well polished.

Submitted

Beautiful, love the animations! Really nice feel. Well done! I

Love this. The scaling with the score is such a nice touch. Good job!

Developer(+1)

Cheers man, and congrats on being the #1!

Submitted

This is great! I love the concept, and the animations and particle effects are well done. The rolling ground really ties the aesthetic together :)

Developer

Cheers cheers, when I was making the game it didn't feel alive enough until I added the rolling ground

Submitted

Wow, I feel the stress of the dinosaur. Poor guy. :(

The gameplay is awesome. Although the Nokia 3310 had no internet connection for online scores I appreciate that you added this feature! :) I feel a bit ambivalent about the graphics. I love the design of the dino, but the animation feels a bit shaky. But this aside I had a great time playing your game.

Developer

Thanks for the review, man. Yeah this was my first time properly animating pixel art at such a low res, it's hard to get any detail haha

Submitted

Nice take on dino run. Not sure if the leaderboard is working my score was not showing up after submission.

Developer

Oh really? What was your score and username? I've seen a few new names in the list so it appears to be working on my side :S

Submitted (1 edit)

I just tried it again, it seems to be working correctly now, nice work btw.

Developer(+1)

Hmmm there's an AAA with 53 points at the moment at "8/2/2021 1:19:41 PM" could that have been you? If not, I'm not sure where your score got to!

Submitted

Nice game! Very fun and polished. Also, the rank system is a very good idea. The menu could be a bit more clean, like having the option to see the instructions by pressing a key, instead of putting it all over the screen.

Developer

Yeah I agree with that menu comment. The main menu was put together in a bit of a rush towards the end. I'll think about that kinda presentation in the future, cheers.

Submitted

Google needs to update their dino dash game to look like this XD The scoreboard was a really cool addition as well.

Developer

I'll start a petition to get them to change it haha, thanks for the positive feedback
