This is so fun. I want this on my 3DS so badly. SO BADLY.

I'm a big fan of the meteor's graphics, it feels really powerful ! Funny for a 5 hours game, nice work.

Nice game. It took me a while to figure out how to shoot. Thought it was point and click, but you must swipe in the direction you want to shoot.

I'm glad I always read the comments, otherwise I wouldn't have know you would need to swipe.

Well done! It felt really good playing with mouse, I think it'd be a smash playing with touch controls :)

This is so much fun. After I understood how to shoot, it was just nice to destroy enemies :)

Level 4 is impossible. I killed only 3 or 5 dinos. Maybe with time your weapon should be more powerful?

Throwing meteors at the helpless dinosaurs is just the funniest thing. On this, we can all agree.

Awesome game!

Fun, really liked how the meteors felt.

Nice idea. It looks like what dinos make it through influences the properties of the next wave, which is pretty cool. Two complaints: The aiming mechanic is pretty frustrating for me, I'd rather just have point and click. Second, the explosion sound effects seem to have very uneven volume.

very nice game, the only thing that I didn't like was that I could click outside of the window :D

Nice graphics and gameplay, it took me a half minute to understand how to shoot meteors, but it felt great. A bit too repetitive for me.

Good game in such a short time, destruction feels good ;) Could maybe evolve your arsenal, put up more obstacles etc. to vary the difficulty and vary the gameplay. It was quite easy to spam meteors straight down very fast.

By the time you get to level 9, it's pretty silly. Would be nice if there were a couple tips in-game on how to play.

Like the idea, nice twist on the theme. I think the gameplay needs a bit more balancing: you can do pretty well just by flicking the mouse straight up and down as quickly as possible, it would be nice if there was something about each level which meant you had to vary your tactics a bit (but I have no idea what that could be). But I did enjoy playing it, so... :-)

WINE doesn't like XNA at all, so my list is pretty much nothing but XNA games I can't run, at this point.

That's an original take on the theme I haven't seen yet. Throwing the meteors was fun and looked very good, so I'm not missing a cool menu or awesome graphics. For me you can add some more gameplay, that you had to aim for something more than a highscore, but for 5 hours impressive.
