So fun! And the art is very cute! Google needs to make this their new default game (although exposing their gecko abuse is probably not a great look for them)
how is this so fun??? liked it so much
Well this was a really intresting concept! Very polished too! Fun little game :D
Really Interesting concept and the Art is wonderful! It looks fun and polished.
REALLLLLY CUTE ART STYLE❤️
This concept is brilliant and a nice take on the dinosaur game compared to the past versions I've seen.
Alas, I can't review this because the shadow isn't showing up on my computer for some reason. Maybe it's not compatible with MacOS? Who knows.
What a shame. I really like this idea too.
Good job, anyway. :)
Hi, thank you so much! :D
We are aware of an issue with Mac in combination with Chrome and Brave browsers but as far as we know, it should work with Safari. :)
Hey,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I tried your suggestion, and it worked. Thank god for that.
Now that I played for myself, it's pretty good. It's as good as the idea suggests. It's a lot of fun scaling the shadow while having to avoid "real life" hazards.
Well done on your entry. :)
PS. How ironic that your dinosaur game doesn't work on Chrome
The idea is just insane !!! impressive for the small number that the team contained.
Impressive submission.
Never though that a simple game like dino could to remaked. Good Job.
hahha wow, nice concept
Genius take on a solid game. Loved how it fit the theme and the narrative was so heart-breaking I couldn't bring myself to play more than twice! Poor geckos :'(
Very creative and well executed game!
Extremely creative idea, well done cutscenes and really polished! Well done!
Really cool and unique concept! It fits the theme really well. The cutscenes are very cute and you get bonus points for having a gecko in your game.
Great idea. My familiarity with this game made it especially enjoyable to play.
The game idea is so smart! Congrats!
It feels really polished
Super creative take on the theme. Great intro as well!
I'm 100% sure that this game will get featured in GMTK video. Congrats!!
