WOW! Great idea, lovely execution. Well done you two!
Nice game idea
Cute game and a very fun one. Kinda feel sorry for the lizard, though. Curse you, no internet!
I really enjoyed this game, very interesting theme, The intro made me laugh too, hope you enjoy my submission as well :)
Wonderful game! It's the first time I need an internet connection to play this game ;)
The intro absolutely broke me ahaha! Well done; super well made, great execution and concept.
Incredible art and presentation, and the gameplay is very robust (idk feels like the best word lol). My only critique is the klaxon at the beginning is very loud compared to everything else, but besides that it's a very fun and well made!
Wow, this is very a great piece. Idea is amazing, visuals are perfect and execution is outstanding.
Guys, it's a masterpiece!
I can't believe that something this polished and fun could be made in 48 hours, great job!
This is an outstanding submission. It's got a unique idea while still playing on something familiar. I had a lot of fun after a few deaths when it really clicked and then I got a lot further. Needing to balance both parts of the play isn't too challenging but still really engaging.
The opening animation and presentation likewise is fantastic and funny.
The only piece of criticism I think I have is that performance was inconsistent and frame drops were frequent for me, but that didn't stop me from having a good time. Excellent job!
Love the fact that you turned a simple no-internet connection game and gave it a new dimension :O. The cutscene was also very good.
Unbelievable that you got this made in 48 hours, great art and such a cool idea. Plus I absolutely loved the cutscene at the beginning.
Love the unique twist on a game we all know. Great art and animations as well.
A remarkable level of polish for 48 hours. Fantastic job y'all!
Very clever take on the theme, using shadows as the scale factor. It's tough keeping track of two different tracks at once, but that's part of the fun. Great game!
Really fun idea, will never be able to see the Dino the same again.
Very creative use of the theme! Well done guys!
