Unfortunately, the game close right at the start.( I have Windows 7 64bit )

donfabio 2013-08-27 10:24

Is there any error message or files like stderr.log in the game directory?
Unfortunately this is compiled with Visual C++ Express 2010. So you need the Visual C++ 2010 runtime package (x86): http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=5555
Hope that helps. :/

Fun game, and nice graphics. Unfortunately some of the sound effects were a little annoying (specifically the jumping sound and the noise you get when you die on a spike.)

Also, there is no way you can fit that much blood in one dinosaur.

Audio was a bit loud (especially the death sound) and you don't get hurt by the spikes on the ground if you walk into them (you have to jump onto them, walking is harmless) but otherwise, pretty good!

The arterial spray made this game. Well done.

lesterpig 2013-08-27 12:03

Works with me ;)
Very, very, very, very hard game... But nice graphics :)
Good job.

guillaumegwi 2013-08-27 12:03

It's good but it's very hard to control where you land. I always failed at level 2 !

stenol 2013-08-27 12:05

Hard to control but the game is fun:)

kristof 2013-08-27 12:06

Works fine on OS/X. Very polished visuals. I like the shaking screen. The little dino lives in a dangerous world and seems to have a lot of blood pressure :)
But I only made it to the second level :-/ I am so bad at jump and runs...
Overall a very good game!

That's my favorite dinosaur.

fantasywiz54 2013-08-27 12:12

I really enjoyed the gameplay, art, sounds, and music. My favorite part was the character, it's so adorable!

donfabio 2013-08-27 12:15

Thanks everyone. Especially for testing on OS X. :) (But I think it works on 10.8 only...)
For everyone who thinks it's too hard to control: We forgot to mention there's gamepad support :D

very cool but hard game

We also made a playthrough. You can see it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zf2_EgqsHFk

I drowned within 2 seconds of first playing the game :D

SOO much blood!! It was Glorious!!

Love the dinosaur!

<3 the game

Really amazing game! One of the best I've played in this LD. High Five! :)

blackbulletiv 2013-08-29 10:54

Waaaay too hard. The controls are too floaty, and it seems one particularly bit is impossible to get past. Nevertheless it did keep me trying for a while, and the graphics are very nice.

diptoman 2013-08-29 11:14

Felt too fast sometimes. And ohmygod the blood xD
Also the portal transition was awesome. Nice graphics and sfx!

starspell 2013-09-01 15:25

The game isn't taking input or rendering for me correctly. The dinosaur is just a white square. However I did at least have a good look at the game.

The opening takes a really long time to get through and the music is quite grating. However the graphics I could see did look nice ^^.

loxo 2013-09-01 15:27

I think this is one of the best games I played so far. It has a unique story, a cute character and fun gameplay. The only thing I don't like that much is the audio, especially the static noise after death. The immense blood gush was quite funny though.

gear 2013-09-01 15:45

Aww, that's such a cute dinosau-OH GOD IT'S SPURTING BLOOD EVERYWHERE

toadpud 2013-09-01 15:58

Fantastic game! I'm thinking the apocalypse is probably caused by a giant meteorite/asteroid, not a metroid. And, as has been pointed out, you can run through spikes as long as you don't fall onto them.

jupiter_hadley 2013-09-05 02:19

Really cute nice game! Loved it. I featured it in my LD27 compilation video series, if you'd like to check it out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX5erHA1DPE

Game is fun! But really hard to control. :)
I can't understand why spikes kill me when they are stuck to the ground!

schnerble 2013-09-08 02:55

I really like the style; the graphics are cool, and the sound fits well. Unfortunately it's just a bit too hard for me :(

dalbinblue 2013-09-12 01:12

Oh this is cute a simple platfo... Oh god, the blood... it's everywhere!

Nice graphics, and solid meatboy like gameplay. As a small design note though, the small lava bubbles on ground on level three are not obvious that they are a obstacle and I died a few times before realizing it was an obstacle.

mrbenjaminbowman 2013-09-12 18:21

Very fun, annoying, hard, and faced paced! But fun!

char68 2013-09-12 18:36

I like it. Incredibly brutal. It seems like you spent a lot of time figuring out how this little dino could die and it paid off :)

euske 2013-09-14 10:16

I spent about 3 to 4 hours for this and gave up. My friend who're a superb platformer player made it. Great job.
