This was pretty good. It's pretty odd how just a few people actually tried to combine two genres (in this case, cowboys and dinosaurs) to make a theme-related entry. This one turned pretty well.
I loved the graphics, and the song is gorgeous... even though I don't quite think it suits the game.
The game is overall good, but I think it's way too slow. The time needed to find an enemy is just too much. I liked that you can still shoot dinosaurs after you kill them, nice detail.

AWESOME!!!! The art, music, and general feel were all great! I love the cutscene, death screen, and customization! The gameplay was a bit lackluster but was made up for by the exploding dinosaurs. Fantastic job! :D

This was fun, but very slow at the start!
Like I said on the stream: Start the game on the equivalent of wave 5 or so, and add an arrow pointing you towards the nearest incoming dino so you don't need to search for em as much, and you dont walk in the other direction.

Very very fun!!!
The sound is awesome and I totally dig the simpel art it works quite nice.

Very nice game, with the caracther creator and the dinossaurs. But it could have a better gameplay.

Wow, fantastic graphics!

accidentalrebel 2014-08-26 23:20

Man, the soundtrack has stuck with me. Props to the one who made it. The art is also gorgeous. The day-night cycle is also a nice touch which gives the game a really great mood.

Good job!

Great Work and first LD!? Nicely done :)

split82 2014-08-26 23:20

Great animations and effects. Really smooth experience.

atomicvikings 2014-08-26 23:25

totally friggin' ridiculous! The only thing missing is the gun sound. But I can excuse that. This is amazing!

iamspencer 2014-08-26 23:26

Pretty fun, really dug the animations and overall feel, the day and night cycle, as well as the weather was a nice touch. This is an awesome job, especially for your first LD, keep it up!

lokarunith 2014-08-26 23:29

Aawesome atmosphere, and great fun, keep the good work.

mapboy 2014-08-26 23:59

It was a great little game - the fact that there is multiplayer support is quite amazing considering that this game was made in such a constrained timeframe. Excellent job, would keep playing to see how high I could get xD

ragepaint 2014-08-27 14:56

Very cool! I love being able to customize my character and the day/night cycle.

mechabit 2014-08-27 16:28

Nice game but pacing needs work

partiallyexciting 2014-08-28 00:54

I approve of this game. Awesome graphics and mood and music. I only wish enemies got to me faster so I could shoot them more.

A unique commentary on the lizardman menace in upper class society.

georgebroussard 2014-08-28 04:06

I like it. Nice art, music and tech. Good stuff.

windmill-games 2014-08-28 13:34

This game was really cool! Out of all the games that I have rated so far, this game has the best music. It also has very nice graphics and a really cool feel to it. I wish there were a little bit more to do, to make it more challenging and rewarding.

rawbosaurx 2014-08-28 19:25

It's a simple and fun concept, which works rather well. I like the fact that there's actually multiplayer integrated. Also, Dinosaurs and Cowboys are an awesome mix.

mrexcessive 2014-08-29 09:46

Hi there. Amazing that you included character customisation. Like the music. Shame no gunshot sound. Would be good to have a helpscreen showing controls. Good job!

nesis 2014-08-29 18:54

Loved the music and graphics. The day-night cycle was really cool, the stars popping up at night my favourite part of it :) Somehow both funny and sombre, well done.

commodorekid 2014-08-30 17:06

This visually looks really nice. I didn't like how you cannot see what's coming on your way and which direction it is coming from in Single Player. Music is cool. Also sometimes the arm of character turns upside down. I think this could be a better game with more features, same graphic style and some changes on gameplay.

twoscoopgames 2014-08-30 23:47

I know that you are already hard at work on the post-jam version. Adding some sfx would be great. I would love to have something to do in-between waves, like kicking rattlesnakes, or maybe looking for ammo, cutting open cacti for water? I dunno. Great job!

barryrowe 2014-08-31 02:28

I think the time between waves, is a little slow, but the gameplay is nice. The customization is also a nice touch.

cartoonjenn 2014-08-31 06:18

This was great! I really enjoyed the art style.

soulgame 2014-08-31 16:22

Great mood brought by your work on backgrounds, characters and musics. However the gameplay seems slow and lacks a bit of interest at the current time.

lotusgame 2014-09-04 10:29

Very nice entry, neat and moody ! It's quickly repeatitive but I like all the little details : the customization, the cycle day-night, the rain, bullets falling to the ground... I hope to see the shop soon to test better guns :)

skiddings 2014-09-05 20:51

Missing a hefty gun blast sound.

jupiter_hadley 2014-09-08 02:53

Cool game and graphics. I included it in part 22 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/_5a2Oj9U9sk

tombofry 2014-09-12 07:20

Thanks very much to everyone that liked the music! I have loads more on my website.

Anyway:
Sorry I didn't get to stream your game, I ended up being quite busy over the past week. The game was great and well polished, but like other people have said it needs to be balanced a little better. I guess I could also compliment the music too ;D

mrspeaker 2014-09-12 17:04

Yeah, was pretty awesome... BUT, I really would have liked the opportunity to mix & match my pants and shirt in the customization phase ;)
