Pretty cool game. Like your take on the theme. Get's a little repetitive after a while though and i think the character should move quicker.

Controls feel a bit sticky because the guy doesn't move fluidly.

Nice retro feel to it.

Controls like old GTA with the same flaws and it is repetitive but you know what, it's a solid game after 48 hours that used the theme well. I had a play through not touching any eggs which put a spin on it, shift sprint became required. Plus it has dinosaurs!

Thanks for all the feedback, it is nice to have people actually playing the experimental games I make.

I was hoping to add a second parallel set of dinos that walked about randomly, so rather than just being able to run rings around them you would also have to dodge these other dinos. Plus it was going to evolve to shoot lasers out of its eyes when you were in line with it... I think it would have spiced it up a bit but thats the nature of the game, and it was good fun.

The game repetitive pretty fast , making it faster would make it better in my opinion , more eggs in less time and faster dinos from the start

Yeah, it would've felt better with less sticky controls, but the idea is nice!

I love the premise, murdering all the dinosaur eggs is kind of hilarious.

Cool interpretation of the theme, but yeah, it will be cool if the character move quicker ^^

Great way to increase the difficulty on an 'endless' game. Wondering how far things go as I could only last until 3 stages of evolution.

Good game and well executed. If you have time to work on it more it would be nice to see some audio, and a win condition perhaps

I really like the idea of the enemy evolution mechanic. I just wish I lived long enough to see what was after dinosaur level 2.
