Nice game.

The pixel art is great and the music and sound fit very well.

xiaphas 2020-04-20 21:52

My fingers hurt, but I love the art, sound, and music

vertry 2020-04-20 22:25

I like how you made dinousars!

herman-chau 2020-04-21 01:25

Managed to barely keep them alive with one dinosaur remaining! So much clicking though haha

chrissx2 2020-04-21 02:03

Same thing as @xiaphas said. Can't feel my fingers, but at least dinos enjyoed life a little bit longer :P.

The dinosaurs wanted to go extinct as far as I can tell. I managed to save 1, but many did it try to stop me. Who runs towards a tsunami? really. The art is fantastic. So much frantic clicking. Nice job!

The Art and UI is super cool and the game is really fun to play.

welby 2020-04-21 05:16

I had to stop because I was going to give myself an injury, but this game was a good clicker game.

indieaustin 2020-04-21 05:17

Really cool game concept. I think my favorite part is the art and music. Also my fingers hurt.

michael-sjogren 2020-04-21 05:17

Incredible art , great sound and music, Smooth gameplay, nice theme!

Abit excessive in the clicking department my fingers can only handle so much.

darylsteak 2020-04-21 05:21

I did it! First try! My finger hurts!

Everything in this entry came together nicely, the mood was great, the art was good, the sound was terrific.

But god damn my finger hurts

Same words from me as everyone else. Fun, nice graphics, nice sound, nice finger pain. Well done.

arzi 2020-04-21 09:30

Dinosaurs!

This was really fun game and a great idea! Also, dinosaurs!

ryzy27 2020-04-21 10:53

Not sure why, but I have a feeling that you guys don't like dinosaurs?

Anyway, the game was easy. I have managed to hold off your threats, no sweat.

Wait...

Great game. Dinos look amazing, so does the rest of the assets. Music is pleasant to listen to.

Awesome! Cheers!

ic-rainbow 2020-04-21 14:03

Thank god I have two hands to click with :sweat_smile:

bernard-bumblebutt 2020-04-21 17:09

Really funny. Probably not a good idea to make spam clicking the only mechanic though.

sarok 2020-04-21 17:29

Great pixel art and logo!

chelc 2020-04-22 07:13

Wow, it was fun! My hand is exhausted now though, I'm gonna get carpal tunnel from this game alone. I survived with two dinosaurs :'D The art/music/game progression felt great.

thibaud-ligneul 2020-04-22 20:00

I was scrolling the submissions list trying to found the game my team made, and I find yours, next to ours... Screenshot_2020-04-22 Ludum Dare 46 ldjam com Ludum Dare game jam.png

We have basically the same pitch but the gameplay is really different! :laughing: There's a lot of features in your game we hoped to put in ours, but lacked time (well, we never thought of including UFO lol). Great game, although my hand's hurting now :joy:

demontoon 2020-04-23 07:50

Super fun game ! Indeed, we have basically the same idea ahah I love your little dinos <3 Why not try to also let people play with the right click ? In that way we can spam better :thumbsup_tone2:

Great Job !

peachtreeoath 2020-04-23 15:03

Wow this game is so well done. You guys did an amazing job making all the enemies/disasters totally different with different threat curves. It's like a good bullet hell game where you have to analyze what's going on on the screen and quickly come up with a plan based on what you need to handle and when. I know people are mostly calling it a clicker game here but really it's a time management game like Diner Dash, but allows for more "skill" in the core gameplay if you can click faster. Also, was the music inspired by Megaman? The theme really sounded like a mashup of Dr Wily + Shadowman to me. Anywho I loved it, great job.

ysopprod 2020-04-23 18:21

I don't like games where I have to click so much, but your game was really awesome! I love the idea and the polish of the end screen! good job

tenlki 2020-04-24 00:46

@peachtreeoath Thanks! I can hear a little of where it feels a little bit like (or you can even insert) MM2 Wily's theme, but strangely enough (according to my music layer names), the music was inspired by Chips Ahoy and Teen Titans.

...I'm not really sure if I can explain it more than that :sweat_smile:

lungtakumi 2020-04-25 16:11

Your game is similar to mine. But the disaster of your game is really greater than mine, and it hurts my finger. Overall is a impressive game.

ddrkirbyisq 2020-05-03 05:36

Almost a perfect clear, woo!!! ...but got distracted by accidentally turning off the sound =( Unfortunately, it didn't seem like I could re-enable audio once turned off, oops. You can, actually, but most of the button is actually covered by the itch.io overlay, so only clicking on the bottom edge of the button works, d'oh!

Rest in peace single dino...

Also, is this a 1:1 aspect ratio? So rare to see...

I appreciated the differences in the various calamities, not just graphical but the way they behaved as well. It was nice that it's possible to click on multiple targets at the same time as well; all of it added some small elements of strategy on top of the mostly "physical" based game.

2020-05-10 06:03

I have a question what draw or paint program were you using for this?

velvetlobster 2020-05-10 06:14

I love games with dinosaurs, that must be said so I am a bit biased on this one. One of my favorites on the humor part, cause just by the look of it it already made me laugh.

velvetlobster 2020-05-10 06:16

I did not do a good job protecting these feelas though lolol

rosypenguin 2020-05-10 07:03

@playtotroll I used Aseprite for all the pixelart. You can watch a timelapse of my progress here: https://youtu.be/3XoCi4D6d_g

2020-05-10 07:04

Bro must say very very very cool game but also hard and stressful but really really nice Graphics and the musik Maybe a bit too loud and the SFX sounds surely a bit too loud :)

solah 2020-05-10 15:33

Wow, this game is epic XD One of the best ideas I saw with this theme ! Now I know why the dinosaurs went extinct xD.

Very well done!
