There are dinosaurs, you dig em up and smash em together.
How does your game fit the additional theme "Anachronism"? Please, explain.
The plague doctor is from the 17th century, also you're bringing dinosaurs into the modern day.

I think the highlight of the game was definitely the sprite-work for all the dinosaur combinations you could bring about! The digging game reminded me of the one from the old Pokemon games, with multiple tools, and gems showing up along side the fossils. I think it would be good to implement a sort of taxes or goal amount of money you're trying to work up to, also maybe an audio cue when you finish cleaning a fossil! But for what it is a very good game.
Thank you for playing! That pokemon vibe was exactly what I was going for! There is a money quota that you need to meet each three day.
Very enjoyable game. It had a tight core loop and was easy to pick up quickly. The dino combos were interesting lol. The story was really cute and the animation at the beginning was really fun. A QOL feature that would have been real nice is a hotkey for each tool. I think the digging mechanic was well balanced, really forced you to explore using each tool and it didnt feel too repetitive. Great work!
This game was very fun to play! I love the gameplay, and the audio especially was amazing. It fits all the themes very nicely!
This is such a delightful game! I love the different dino combinations and the cutscenes are so cute! Also bashing all the rocks is very satisfying. If anything it would have been cool to preview what the different dino parts would look like or what stats each part would grant as you build the dino. Really great work!
This is such a nice and complete game! It gave me "Dave the diver" vibes, part because of the game loop, but most of all because the music has this positive and uplifting mood!
That's all very well made - concept, art, music, everything. In jams it is so hard to find the sweet spot between many great ideas and the efforts coming with them. Think you hit it just right - good job!
Did you make the game solo or is there a team behind it?
Thank you! I made the game solo.
Wow, this is absolutely impressive!
Cute yet creepy game haha! It was a really nice and fun experience and a very creative idea. Great game!
Great game, i really liked the fossil digging it was quite addictive
Lethal Company but with fossil hunting is a unique mashup. My hands started hurting from the clicking, but I think the gameplay loop is satisfying, and there is enough motivation for the player to keep going.
I think the red overlay indicating that you're running out of time is a little too dark. It was a little hard to see things while I was on a timer.
