it's a nice combination, but i think the difficulty it's a bit too high for this

I can't figure out how to play! I opened it in Chrome then in Edge, then finally just started mashing the keys. Something worked, but I'm not sure what. Can you provide some hints on the controls?

Interesting concept, it seems to be the simplest game that could illustrate the concept. I played it twice so it must've been fun enough :)

@DigNZ Thanks :)

@jshaffer94247 In the menu, up and down arrows move the selection, and spacebar selects it. Elsewhere, it's just up and down arrows to rotate (in hopefully intuitive directions, but if you've never played a similar type of game it might feel backwards).

@Andreadbx Difficulty is always a tricky one with jam games. After spending a weekend fighting a variably broken mess, the last minute change making it borderline playable suddenly makes it seem super easy *to the person who knows everything about how it works* 😄

@Colthor totally understandable, me and my team at the time did same mistake at LD35 :D

There's no logical reason why this game should have amused me as much as it did. By your own admission, this was "a little thing to dust off the cobwebs." There really isn't much game here, yet, I probably 'played' it for a good 5 minutes while chuckling at the hand gliding raptor. Bonus points for you!

lol I love the hanggliding; nice work!

Love the concept of a single-player party! Felt pretty bad for the poor, lonely velociraptor. Took me a few tries to get a feel for for the hang-gliding mini-game, but then I just kept on going. Is there an end to that area?

@been The terrain wraps, and there are no other objectives other than "landing" once you're done.

I think the raptor is having enough fun anyway :)

@Colthor I thought of it as a single-player "last man standing" kind of game anyway, so that works :)

FizzBuzz! Love it! Thanks for the Super Velociraptor Party! I had a great time.

Really simple concept, but working. Plus big points on humor.

Okay this was a short and super weird game, and the lack of music in a party game was also a bit strange.

You have a good sense of humor and that reflects well in your game. But I wasn't able to understand game.

Fits the theme. I really like Dinos so I came to like the picture of the Velociraptor with the party hat. It was nice and I liked the hanggliding, priceless XD, the memory game was a bit difficult I could manage up to 11 after trying a few times. Great work ^^

@YuKey0 Thanks :) In case you've never heard of it before, Fizz Buzz is a number game: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fizz_buzz
