Played so many runs  ... but 94 was the hard limit for me. Not sure if this is ok-ish or just plain bad =)

I like the idea of customizing your dino to have an optimal flight performance! The flying behavior could need a bit of fine-tuning though.

What about making different challenges, such as reaching a target, flying through obstacles, doing loopings, ...? This way you would need to tune for different aspects.

Really attractive to fly a dinosaur for me.  Had fun with it =)

Congratulations on your submission!

Its really very good concept, like youre trying to find optimal setup for 1 task, i really enjoyed it, but fly controll sometimes fill strange, it can stuck and dont fly forward at all, and just falling to the ground. Anyway it really good job and bright idea!!!

Developer

The flying control is a bit strange - that's my fault. Probably the least intuitive bit is that there is strong wind pushing you backwards the entire time, which means there is a minimum speed you need to get to fly forwards

You had a good amount of polish all around on this! Would be great to see the idea built out more, and be able to make more progress.

Really enjoyed the concept of this game. I've always wanted to be an evil genius building the perfect dino! The art and special effects were really nice. You stuck to the limitation well. It was a bit short and would have liked a bit more progression in terms of the dino build. Though I understand what yall were going for and it works. Very solid game all things considered. Good job! (Also, love the name!)

Developer

Thanks for the feedback. We were hoping to add some progression, but making the flying interesting took me all weekend, so we didn't get around to it

That is totally understandable!

Was kinda tricky at first, but flying feels pretty fun!

loved the art, so clean. sounds were good too. i couldnt get over 100, and that made me mad. also, why t rex head? good concept, liked it.

Developer

Thanks. We didn't get around to making the T-rex head do anything: we ran out of time
