It's... odd.
Good replay value. I liked the way the dinosaurs tracked you when they could see you.
Bonus points for the sweet name.
Odd but fun.
Eh, it's ok. Doesn't seem to be very hard.
Ok I tried very hard to crush some velociraptors but proved very adept at avoiding or dodging the rocks.
Kind of funky all in all but high points in the humor category :)
So awesome.
Boulder Dash with a funny name.
I saw a few instances where a stone fell next to the mole and I had to start the level over. I couldn't figure out why I didn't always get to enter the exit after collecting all the mushrooms. Pretty frustrating. Otherwise, I liked the music and your use of raptors.
It's quite fun, but easy. Plus there should be some indicator how many more velociraptors are coming out of the door.
Fun! I like the way that you can block off the raptors, giving you all the time in the world, but in the end you have to go back and face them. And the music and all the sound effects give a great vibe.
I think I hit a bug on level 8 - I'm sure I got all the mushrooms but the exit door would not let me out.
It's possible to get stuck in such a way that you can not finish the level or die and since there's no restart level button that effectively means you have to start over from the beginning.
Well, it's basically Boulderdash, which is generally fun, but again, it's Boulderdash, so it's not exactly innovative.
Anyway, I didn't feel like the raptors add anything to the gameplay .. they're not hard to evade in any case, but you can just block off their path by going under a rock, and they'll stand perfectly still, patiently waiting until you're done collecting shrooms. Then you can go back and open the path again, and take an alternate route to the exit as they take the long way round.
Nice music =)
Nice music.
Originality down the drain though ;)
There seems to be a bug in level 8, I had all shrooms, but the exit wouldn't let me in.
Sometimes I couldn't go into the exit and there were no mushrooms left.
This is pretty fun. The rocks can't squish the dinosaurs, can they? One thing that confused me is that passing under a rock several spaces above us triggers it (rather than any rock without dirt under it falling on its own). I'd like to see a more fleshed out version of this, maybe with smooth motion like Pac Man and better art :)
Cheers!
mmm chipmusic ftw :)
Fairly amusing little game. I like that if you die the level is random and a little different each time.
The first time you play it is a little disconcerting that basically a big FAIL screen appears because you have little way of knowing that a dinosaur is going to appear right where you are before you can even identify that you are a mole rat. I also found it strange that I was being killed by mushrooms as for some reason I wasn't expecting that mechanic and it took me a little to figure out why I was getting FAIL screens away from boulders or dinos.
I eventually walled myself in accidentally on like level 8 or 9 and the spacebar didn't seem to work to restart the level.
Seemed a bit easy to figure out the basic strategy being to quickly cut off the dino path, harvest all mushrooms, then make a hole in path to let dinos come after you while the mole rat doubles back to the now free entrance. I feel like that strategy makes the game less fun once you discover that. Perhaps there should be a way that the dinos can slowly bore a path too so that the player can't tarry long? I feel that would ratchet up the tension perhaps and add some more kick to the gameplay if you couldn't just take your time. If you use different antagonists then dinos (perhaps something that could bore through the boulders) that would lead to more exciting gameplay.
Enjoyed the music and the graphics. High humor points for your choice of wrapper. It seems though that you thought the theme that won was Burrowing... ;)
Ok, I like the idea of velociraptors chasing naked mole rats through mushroom caves. There were some bugs though, like one time I got all the mushrooms and it still wouldn't let me leave.
