Cute/10!

Loved all of the art. The idea of figuring out a recipe for a dino is really fun! I was very bad at it though.

Had a very fun time finding all of the combinations through trial and error.  I think the main problem I had was the description for what was needed wasn't super clear because the items had so many combos. After a few plays though you get the hang of it and it felt like more of a memorization game.

This game has such a nice concept; it was hard for me, though, because it wasn't clear what the criteria were for making the cat, pig, or chicken look like a dino. And I always had the feeling that I would use certain pieces differently.

But overall it is very creative and humorous, which I really appreciate!

I really like the concept; it’s a clever way to incorporate the limitation. The game is fun and easy to understand. A great experience!

Developer

Thanks for playing! Old cartoon feel was exactly what I was going for

I LOVED IT!

I'm a big fan of these "creation" kind of games + the concept and execution were perfect.

Reached the end! <3

Developer

Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!

Cool idea, but it all ultimately comes down to trying and memorizing knife combinations.

This game is really cool. I liked the art. The whole concept of fooling people into buying fake dinos is priceless.

Developer

Thank you so much for playing!

The idea is super cool, very creative =)

It was a bit to much trial & error (or clicking on the hint button) for my taste. Maybe it would have helped to have a single step undo, so that you don't lose the rest of the setup too?

The art is just amazing! Wow, love it so much.

Really nice jam entry you have here!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing! Yeah, you're right about difficulty and an undo button would have been nice. Will try my best in the next jam!

It was quite difficult to actually know what ingredients to use, it often felt quite arbitrary. But using the hints and seeing what the resulted ended up as was quite fun. The art is very good and the concept is super fun, well done!

Love the sprites, is tuff to get the concept at times. Submission is still pretty fun!

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Sometimes, going completely insane is the only smart solution

The art is great, and the sheer craziness of seeing animals having stuff glue to their bodies is more than enough to make me laugh!

I got a perfect brontosaurus and i felt like a mad scientist, no notes

Developer

Thanks for playing!

Good concept, but sometimes it very hard to understand logic, anyway, good artstyle and idea!!!

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for playing! You're right about difficulty. i was experimenting and it either turned out too hard or too easy. so i kept it harder and did the hint system to help with that.

Submitted(+1)

Hilarious concept! You've done a really good job with the drawings of all the different combinations. It seems like that all-nighter you pulled was worth it.

Developer

Thanks very much for playing!

Funny idea, I really like the art and music too.

(I know its a short jam, but for the record there's a bug in the tutorial. you can spam click submit)

Developer

Thanks for playing! I missed that!
