I enjoyed the animation of the legs changing perspective between rising and falling. It looks really nice even though it's only a few frames.

While the game was largely luck based, I felt got enough of a feel for the it to finesse my throws to improve my odds. At first, I thought I saw everything, but then I got past 1200m for the first time. That really hooked me in and I ended up getting to 2190m. I really love these long throw games. So, this is an around solid game for me. The music choice was also a good fit for the game. If you all ever think of continuing this project, adding power-ups and upgrades would definitely be the way to go.
Nicely done. I like how the first dino points to the sky when launched and the concept of multiple launches.
I managed once to bounce on multiple shrooms and headed straight to space! It would have been nice to have more of those moments instead of the more frustrating ones like hitting the balloons from the bottom and get smashed back into the ground.
Oh, and the game runs fine on linux using mono, I didn't check it earlier because it was marked as windows only, but I tried and it worked :)
This was a JOY to play... i had to learn the "est way" to handle the multiple launches ... posting in normal comments with you adorable little Dino =o) (score so far 1102m)
Really cute aesthetics and a good camera controller.
The gameplay seems mostly luck-based to me. Is there some way to control anything while the egg is in flight.
