This was enjoyable and the art was very cute. I liked it!

Did you by chance play my game Super Survival Ball from LD46? It had very similar mechanics complete with a (now defunct) online leaderboard. Your version's not bad, I suppose :P. The graphics and audio are really good. Clicking on the meteors is a little difficult when they're moving fast, which is part of why mine went with a pong-style paddle.

Very nice design and cute game!

Nice design that works well with the theme! I wish there was something that told me my score.

would have given you a high score on humor if you had it in your ratings just for this meme

@quinn-patrick no actually, my first Ludum Dare was number 48 but that's cool! thanks too!

@theflanman There is a full leaderboard and a popup with your score in the downloaded version. I am uploading a new build that shows it in the web ver too, but the leaderboard doesn't show up as it doesn't work in the web ver for some reason.

i always lose it at 3 meteors. a suggestion could be to make the area collider bigger to allow the player more room. that would make it more fun.

Nice game! Poor dinos =/

At testament to my jitter clicking days in minecraft. I got about 4/5 on screen at once before it was too much for me. Was simple and a lot of fun!

Cute! I like it.

Hey, liked your game. It is kinda tough to appreciate the cute lil dinos, while constantly looking at the meteors. For me the dinos were to small or kinda out of sight if played in fullscreen. But other than that nice game! :v:

Nice, I feel bad for the cute little dinosaurs and like the somber music.

phoenixofforce 2022-04-06 14:47

The music was fantastic. Maybe the score is broken. One time i had like six meteors and the same score when i just had 2 meteors.

Nice entry ! The principle is very simple but very effective and quite addictive. Graphics and sounds work well in this game. I didnt manage to handle more than 4 or 5 meteors at a time unfortunatly... Thanks !

trev3lyan 2022-04-06 15:49

I also went for the "keep the ball off the ground" idea, although the stakes were very different between our games. This is pretty addictive, good job!

@phoenixofforce Thanks for the comment :D If you happened to be playing on WebGL that may be why the score didn't work. Congratulations on getting so many meteors :D
