Cute game love the mood! My experience was difficult as first as I struggled very hard to lure in dinosaurs with treats but once I figured out a strategy to push them into my area by chasing them in the right direction is was much easier. The play / pet mechanics are nice. Love the graphics and the music, it gives a really nice vibe. Funny interpretation of the theme but I think it fits, your dinausaurs are tiny! Great job

Very cool idea and execution. Congrats on your first ludum dare, you did great. I liked the concept and the art. The cookie throwing is a bit clunky. Great job!

Hey great job on your first LD. The game is super cute and charming :blush: I especially like those cute little minigames to take care of your dinos.

First of all, congratulations on your first Ludum Dare! You did a great job! It's a cozy little game, and I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is fantastic, especially for dino lovers. I did run into one issue – I had a dinosaur get stuck in a fence on the wilderness side, and it wouldn’t move, even though I was literally riding it. I loved the petting mechanic, but I still couldn’t figure out how to play ball. I tried throwing it to the dinos but couldn’t quite make it work, although I did manage to score several times in the wilderness.

So much depth in this game! I love the art, I love all the interactions with my tamed pets, and I liked the mechanic of taming pets. The ability to play, pet, and feed your tamed pets makes the game so much more fun and has me constantly coming back to check on them!​

You should consider adding more detail to the ldjam page to complement the great work you did on itch!

I like your game, the dinos are cute ! It looks like the dinos are rendered behind the grass, so sometimes it's hard to find them. For the gameplay, I didn't find the cookies usefull, I just run after the dinos to lure the in the pen

Such a big map, and raising dinosaurs is so cute!

Great effort for your very first LD, this is a nice, finished game and I really hope you'll get more votes to get you to the finish line! Taming the dinos and bringing them back to the enclosure was fun and challenging at times, and being able to pet them and play with them after was a great added bonus. My only feedback for the current scope would be to make the sides of the fence a little more visible, because I wasn't sure if I can walk through them at first. But really good job overall!

I love the chill setting and the charmingly appealing graphics
