Use of the limitation
The exhibits on a tight budget, so your the only worker on shift,. With so many dinosaurs the player is also on a figurative attention budget with how much he can focus on at once.

I like the idea. The art and UI is really nice. The dinos were pretty cute. The sound effect got a little grating after a bit. Would have liked a bit more of a difficulty curve but other than that it was a pretty neat game. Well done!

Honestly pretty fun! It would have been nice though if the levels kept adding more and more dinos to make things more challenging, but it's still enjoyable the way it currently is.

Park Of Dinosaurs With Very Short Lifespans

ya, I thought about it too, instead I opted for higher decay time with each level

The game really force you to add attention to all dinos, and give them you heart, its so cute!!! Also visual is very unique. I just notice that if you finish with not all dinos, game whatever will write that "all dinos allive". But anyway its pretty good game!!!

Ya good point lmao, I should've tracked how many were dead and put it in the end screen, thank you for playing!

I didn't know I have such a deep desire to take care of dinosaurs! Even the slightest loss of HP made me feel sad. When a game can evoke such feelings, then something is designed right =)

Somehow I also adore the little heart particle system. Cute!

Enjoyed it!

A very cute experience with a very charming artstyle, was devastated when some of my dinos died from a lack of love. Good job!

That time I was a magical girl and was sent to the mesozoic period, where a tax collector wants my body

This is a very interesting idea! I lost the first few times before I figured out from a comment that you're meant to press "E", so I think a tutorial of some kind would be nice, but other than that a neat idea! Good work.

omg ty for this comment lol, I have no idea the tooltip that was made dissappeared after building the project. I've added this to the description of the game along with the other key binds for the future ;)

Pretty cool game, I think it would be nice if the game was top down because then the player and dinos would have more movement options which I think would make the game a bit more interesting. I was also a bit confused with how to play at first but after spamming my keyboard found that E was the button to give affection. Nice presentation though, so all in all good job!

It wasn't explained how to give the dinos my affection! I don't get how to play.

that's really weird we had a UI that said press E to give affection, not sure why it didn't work after building the game lol

XD The game is to real for me. My cat acts like those Dinos sometimes too. What did we learn? Never stop petting Dinos.

Loved the presentation on this, though your thumbnail made me think this was going to be like FNAF for some reason. Some of the dinos were so needy that they shut out their friends, which was funny, but annoying from a gameplay perspective.
