First! Wow, this was one of the first game ideas my team had for the jam, and looks like it's hard to balance the distribution of the people, cars, etc. with the dinosaur's size.

A jumping mechanic for the dinosaur could do two things for your game:

1. Make the people easier to avoid. 2. If you fail a jump, this will be more brutal than just walking over the people.

As you playtest it and receive feedback you will get your own magic formula to make it more fun. Good job1 :wink:

Like the idea of a dinossaur, but i feel like the controls are kinda hard to use, the art is nice but it messes with the depth a lil' and i missed some scorelike or count of citizens dead or lives or something, i died like without any advice, good job tough.

Good idea but dinosaur's hitbox is a bit larger than it should be, which makes you hit the cars and pedestrians even if you seemingly should safely avoid them.

A solid entry, most certainly. Graphics are neat and fun, sound a bit terrifying but that's of course ok :p Unfortunately, it seems I killed a few people in great distance of dino so maybe trigger bounds are a bit too wide. Anyway, good job!

Fun take on the theme. I also liked the "crayony" shader, very nice trick for quickly creating a distinct style!

Cute concept, fun little game. I liked the graphics and the music, and they fit well with the game's concept. The sound effects seemed a little out-of-place, though.

I didn't mind the floaty controls or large hitbox on the dinosaur. I felt like it actually kind of helped make the dinosaur feel like a big, clumsy creature.

I found myself wanting a little more depth to the game. Maybe the city could have different districts, with different rates of pedestrians/cars? A little bit of variety would help a lot.

Some hopefully constructive criticism:

- The game is impossibly hard! It goes for too long and it's too hard to avoid cars and people. - Even if you could avoid everything, it would be a bit boring to just do the same thing for 5 minutes or so? Making it start easy and adding more variety would be useful - The parallax effect is backward (buildings at the back should be smaller and move faster)

I'd recommend getting someone to play your game during the competition, and they might be able to help you find some of the difficulty issues.

I managed to win though by going in the air somehow :P

Haha i needed to read the instructions first. I set off enjoying the carnage until I realised it was killing me :-(

The visual style is pretty interesting and the idea for the game is funny) Unfortunately, I had a lot of problems with the size of dino hitbox and for some reason when I kill every single living creature I lose!)

Pretty interesting visual style and gameplay. Looking forward to more.

Nice graphics but awful screaming when killing citizen :p The hitbox of the dino is a little bit to large imo Good game !

I like the visuals and audio!

I had some problems on Kongregate, the arrow key controls would scroll the browser window, so the game moved up and down as well as the dinosaur!

Groovy beat and funny SFX!
