Awesome. I think the only gameplay thing that stood out as needing improvement is the platforming. I liked being able to double jump after impacting the side of a platform, but sometimes I think I was still pressing in the direction of the platform and got a bit stuck.

Adding more types of things that chase you or ways to protect yourself my be nice in future improvements.

Heat seeking meteors! Very cool :) I enjoyed your dinosaur model haha

So much pain! It was fun to play :). There is a real challenge, although I'm still not sure how much you can do about avoiding the big meteor.

Best aspects: - The challenge of dodging homing devices - Dinosaur model

Notes for improvement: - (Bug?) The game timer doesn't reset after a game-over. This makes it harder to track how well you did each time. - Make the jumping a bit more forgiving by e.g. a double jump. The homing devices are already a challenge enough I think :P.

I found a sweet-spot right under the starting platform to block all incoming meteors Screenshot.png That is... until the giant meteor shows up. That thing should NOT be heat seeking, lol. I died almost every time it came on screen

Very fun! Agree that having a double-jump would be very nice in this game. I like that you can see when the big meteor is coming from the huge red light! One little thing is it feels the meteors can turn a little too quickly when they're right next to you. Overall, really fun and complete-feeling game!

A fun game idea, kinda hard to survive lol. tried to trick the meteorites in hitting the platform, but they were smarter most of the times lol. Maybe make a level system out of this, where you have a fixed amount of meteorites spawning for each level. That way you can ramp up the difficulty. nonetheless a fun game, good job!

Liked the concept but could really come up with a strategy to dodge the big meteor. Made it once, by luck i guess.

@Derek-Volker The big meteor explodes if it hits 5 platforms. It's hard, depending on where it spawns in relation to you. I didn't get to tweaking it much beyond that.
