Use of the limitation
The limitation was incorporated through the idea of containing a dangerous dinosaur using extremely cheap and improvised solutions such as a cardboard box, duct tape, and limited resources.

Great concept, but I definitely agree I found it a bit too challenging. I think the strat later on was more to let him starve out and then keep enough to sedate him? Interesting game and nice artwork tho, nice submission!
Thank you for your feedback; I really appreciate it! Yeah, it is part of a challenge to change strategy during gameplay, so the way you play it in the beginning would be different from the way you play it in the end. Yeah, I made it too difficult, and I will make sure that future jams will be more balanced.
Thank you for playing it!
Oml this game was def challenging! I love a challenge and seriously wanted to beat this crying Took me multiple attempts to figure it out. Anyways great little game here!
Thank you for playing it! And thank you for being committed enough to actually finish it! I realized I made it a bit too difficult. But you managed it anyway. I really appreciate it!
Thank you!
Nice game, that keep you in focus, as for me you need fed him a little too often. And it hard to figure out how make him less angry. But i think you will impove it soon. Very good job!! The game is nice!!
Thank you for playing it and thank you for your feedback!
I liked this game so much! but it was a bit difficult!
Thank you for playing it. I am glad you like it and I will make more effort to balance difficulty in the future!
Interesting little game! I liked the concept a lot, very creative. I agree with the other comments that it is really difficult; the dino initially always got hungry right when my money hit 20, but after a few times feeding him I just kept running out of money and so could never upgrade the box even once. I even tried letting him get a little upset thinking his anger would go back down once fed but it never seemed to go down. I think this game definitely has a lot of potential though! Good work :)
Thank you a lot! I really appreciate your feedback, and I will take it into account the difficulty miscalibration in the future.
I like the game concept. It is like a cozy, cute, charming Jurassic park variante.
Thank you for playing it!
Nice management game, though this little guy is eating me out of house and home! There's no chance to upgrade the box because he eats too often.
This is definitely a great start, and with more time, I would love to see more effects added for when the dino gets hungry or angry, SFX for when it eats, etc.
Thank you for your feedback! I probably made the game too difficult; I will take that feedback into account for the future.
And I appreciate the suggestions; I will definitely consider those.
Nice little game, i think this is a very good idea with good potential, but for now I think I agree with the others the dino become hungry very fast and I run out of money sooner or later. But very nice work. I also love the style
Thank you for your feedback. Yes, I am recognizing that I could overdo the difficulty. I will take it into account for the future.
Still, thank you for playing it!
Tried a few runs, but I always run out of money sooner or later. Other commenters seem to have the same experience. =)
I like the idea and see the potential for a nice little game here. So, keep on working on it!
Congratulations on your submission!
Thank you for your feedback! I probably made it a bit too difficult. But it is still possible to finish it. Small tip or hint: later in the game, you don't always need to buy food even if the dino is very hungry; if you upgrade the box 3 times, it makes anger develop slowly enough to collect money for the cage.
Thanks for the hint!
Bro, why is this game so difficult? 🤬
But I still liked it.
Thank you for playing it! And thank you for your feedback! Maybe I just was so afraid to make this game too easy that I made it disproportionately difficult. I will take it into account, though, for the future. Thank you!
If I can just get past the first level, that should be enough for me, I guess I'm a bit clumsy myself.
that game have a good concept but its really hard , when the dino is enraged we must buy a cage but i dont have the money for a cage and he get hungry faster that can we get money for feeding him , but i love the graphic
Thank you for your feedback! I probably wasn't clear enough in my description of game rules. The cage is hard to buy because players should go through feeding, upgrading the box, and eventually, at the end of a game, collecting enough money for the cage. When the box is broken, the player should use a sedative to return the Dino to the box. I will try to add that info to the game; hopefully that prevents confusion in the future.
Thank you for playing it!
I think the use of the limitation is very clever. Good job!
Thanks! I am glad you found it interesting!
