Very creative idea! A bit slow on my computer
Super cute - but sad game. The twist on the chrome game is great and very creative. well done <3
It was a little laggy in some places though - maybe with loading things in
This is fantastic, well thought out and designed and I love the dark sense of humor in the opening, A+ work
Absolutely love the art! Such a fun and smart way to match the theme and put a spin on that iconic
lil'big fella.What a neat idea, kudos!
Looks like a cool concept, but I tried to play and it was pretty broken. No shadow (which seems like the main thing here) and my score never changed. I reloaded the page a few times, but still the same issue.
Hi, we're really sorry to hear that you encountered issues.
Are you using a Mac by any chance? We’re aware of a problem (that looks like yours) with Chrome and Brave on Mac, but in our tests, using Safari seemed to resolve it. We’d appreciate it if you could give Safari a try and let us know if it works for you! :)
While we haven't had the time to fully investigate this issue yet, we are considering releasing an updated version of the game after the rating period, so we hope to resolve this for you and others who are affected.
I absolutely love it. <3
Very fun and great little spin on the theme!
This was a really good use of the theme and the art was amazing!
Wow a very clever way to handle the scale of the game, and that intro cutscene :( poor dino bro.
Wow this was such a clever expansion on the dinosaur runner game !
The little backstory in the intro made me chuckle, and of course the art was amazing
This is a fun twist on a game I hadn't thought about in years. There were a few minor issues, there was a little bit of slow down on my first few runs and the previous run's score was visible up until the next run actually started. Fantastic work, I kept on saying "Just one more run".
The art style is so lovely! i love the intro. The mechanic was also clever, i really like the multitasking vibe.
Neat idea!
I really love this take on the traditional t-rex runner! The way you implement the scaling to match the theme works very well too.
Interesting take on Google's T-Rex game. ^_^
The shadow mechanic was not working on Chrome. So at first, I was confused on what to actually do.
It was fine on Firefox.
fine
What a fun idea :D
Really cool and unique game! Fun concept and great graphics. Everything was very well done :)
Its cool for sure, no doubt!!!! I love the little story and theme there.
