Pretty cool game, I think that the level is maybe a little large, it makes it a bit tricky to get from one side to the other before the enemies get your dino friends. The graphics are cute and the gameplay is pretty refreshing. I also very much like the plot which ties well with the theme.

Very nice game! So much polish on the graphics, wow!!!!
Extra thx for the gfx video - I'll have to study it.
There was no sound for me, I'll just assume there is none :/

I liked the graphics and that cutscene!

jwin 2012-08-29 03:56

Excellent work! The graphics were especially awesome!

I like the whole one screen game play, but death came a little too easy in this game. I would get a good streak on then get zapped by a lucky laser I didn't see.

This game is a lot of fun (but really hard)! Nice intro, too. It's a shame that there is no sound yet. Great job!

This is awesome but maybe a bit too hard. Some gameplay tweaks and sound would make this amazing.

I dug it. Old school arcade feel. I could see it being expanded with powerups and such and it'd still feel fun to play.

endermath 2012-08-29 04:32

I could not really play it because half of the game window was below my screen (resolution 1366x768) and I couldn't resize the window :(

Loved the cute little dinos and the detail in the scenery. Quite fun once the game started. Cutscene felt a little long to me, but I really liked having to defend dinos from the yellow dudes.

Very cute and fun game. I actually really enjoyed the scale of the large playfield. Graphics reminded me in a good way of joust. Just wish there was some sound and music. Great game still.

i liked the game, and so did my kids -- its unfortunate you used some inappropriate language -- was not really necessary.

sclark39 2012-08-29 05:36

Lots of fun, but i kept getting hurt by the evolved creatures for quite a while before realizing I could be. I love the usage of the theme. Very original, and very successful at doing it in a way that isn't really effecting gameplay but is still extremely prevalent (many entries attempted and failed at this in the compo)

raroadkill 2012-08-29 05:56

Very well done. I really enjoyed it. Would have liked some more attacks to use. and sound will make it better.

knighty 2012-08-29 06:04

Unfortunately the game doesn't seem to run on my computer. It just shows a message saying "has occured that caused raptor to stop. notify Max Crane + Ben Foden + Scott Ashford abut this."

benjamin-soule 2012-08-29 06:22

Hey ! That's an excellent game. I first thought the main character was a dinorun rip (pixeljam) then I realized there's not a lot of way to draw raptor in 24x24 anyway :) All the dinos animations are gorgeous that's a crazy ammount of work for 72h. I think I would have liked some fx on impact when I attack aliens, because the dying animation is nice but slow, so it's not really easy to see clearly which alien is still alive.

khaotom 2012-08-29 06:41

Nice little game, would fit right at home in an arcade cabinet. Looking forward to a version with sfx.

cappelnord 2012-08-29 08:41

pretty solid and fun! Also cool story. Maybe a little confusing, which makes it quite hard to beat.

gama11 2012-08-29 08:47

Cool little game. Reminded me a lot of that excellent Dino Run flash game, in case you played that. The main character looks pretty much exactly like the main character in Dino Run, so at least your artist has probably played it.
Could be a lot more fun with sound.

ragzouken 2012-08-29 09:09

Super polished :D The introduction to the controls, and the cutscene were really great! I kinda wanted to get to the action a bit sooner though.

Sound would be a definite improvement - I only started noticing when actually attacking guys and not realising I'd missed because there was no audio feedback.

jfroco 2012-08-29 20:00

Nice gfx, bgm and sfx will add a lot to the gameplay. Very hard.

csanyk 2012-08-30 01:48

Very nicely done. It's difficult to cover the level, but I guess the point of it is that eventually the aliens are gonna mutate some dinos.

maxium 2012-08-30 10:35

Love the graphics and animations!

pereubu 2012-08-31 08:25

very addicting game, with awesome art, one of the bests i've played so far :D

sfx 2012-08-31 13:44

I'm playing this on Linux, and the game crashes immediately because the raptor stops.

brotherst 2012-08-31 13:51

New favourite! I loved this, the intro, the simple mechanic that's not only thematically different to any game I've played, but I don't think I've ever played a game where you only have a charge attack, v. addictive. can't quite make it 5 mins yet though, I seem to be able to deal with the enemies but not with swimming.

derosa 2012-09-01 14:06

I loved it! A little hard, but I enjoyed it a lot! Great graphics and controls felt very accurate. Thanks!

susanthecat 2012-09-02 16:13

The screen was bigger than my laptop so I couldn't see the top or bottom.

adventureislands 2012-09-02 16:21

Haha, indeed this is much more refined than mine, good job. The controls are very good. Pretty difficult game though, some audio feedback could have helped.

patrickgh3 2012-09-05 05:28

This game was really fun. The graphics and level design worked very nicely with one another. I think it might have been better if the enemies stood out a little more from the fore/background, but that was part of the challenge. Also, I think that the game got a little too hard too fast, but maybe I'm just not good enough :)

I had a ton of fun. One of the best ones I've played. If you guys completed this, it would be great.

someone 2012-09-15 12:35

That game was awesome. Great graphics, but really hard.

tompudding 2012-09-17 20:59

The pixel art was beautiful, and it was one of the most fun games I've played, probably due to the simple mechanic. Kudos
