Great detail in making the Rexes unique, not just different colors. It adds a lot of juice and personality to the game.

This was so cute and fun i its my favorite so far!!! I really like what the non-primary rexes add to the gameplay! great game idea as always benja!

benjatk 2024-10-08 01:21

@life-lich Thank you!! I hope it at least helps a bit to distinguish them, especially if someone struggles with colors (though the game is probably unplayable to them, I would have loved to add some more accessibility options).

benjatk 2024-10-08 01:21

@sirmilkman thanks!!! Really appreciate it coming from you.

SO UTTERLY adorable! I love the cute pixel dinos! I love them so much! Great fitting chill music and an interesting game concept. Great work!

This is so cute, I absolutely love the graphics! The gameplay is also relaxing and satisfying. The non-primary color rexes add a really fun twist and challenge. This game is super nice ^^

These minimal graphics on pure white background is really beautiful somehow. Like the idea!

jaken007 2024-10-08 05:11

Really polished game. Nice UI I enjoyed this!

Super cute and fun and never seen anything like this before, love the polish and graphics and sound, they all add up to a really cohesive experience. I got something like 2:16 for my best score. Most creative game I've seen so far this jam!

This is so lovely T-T great and well-polished gameplay loop and PHENOMENAL audio work with how it changes when someone's time running out. Thank you for making this!

I am obsessed with the tiny dinosaurs omg, something about this game is so nostalgic don't ask me why but this game reminds me of the kind of games I used to play in a bank as a child but better. Love the colour schemes and the little transitions and the attention to detail is great! <3 Amazing game

This was a GREAT submission. Was excited to play it before since I've seen your stuff on the game endeavor discord, and you definitely did not dissapoint. A unique and innovative game that really hit me hard with an "AHA" moment once I was making an orange dino follow my yellow circle, finding out the key of the mechanic and where the challenge lies. The polish was great, the loop is good and the progression works well. I loved the small QoL improvements like the speed up and pause to make replays easier to go through.

Amazing entry, feels like a winner honestly!

Love it!! The little sounds and music are so good, would genuinely listen to the main menu on repeat in a playlist haha. The mechanics were the definition of easy to learn, difficult to master once it started getting complex with many colors of dinos. Super cute and had a fun time with it! Congrats on completing and submitting this game :)

I love it! The concept is very original, and you managed to develop it into a solid game. I found it was easy to pickup, and become challenging very quickly. And the art style and music are so cute! I'm frankly amazed by the level of polish you managed to put into the game in such a short amount of time. If I were to nitpick, I'd say having the color selection at the top left of the screen makes changing them a bit tedious, but that's a very minor thing. Definitely one of my favorite games so far!

What a lovely game! Impressive that you did this all by yourself, one of the best graphics I've seen!

kultuk 2024-10-10 05:26

Really liked the art and the music! Well done

benjatk 2024-10-10 14:02

Thanks everyone so much!!!

mateo-avventuriero 2024-10-11 00:17

Perfect game! Top art, top game design, top sound design! GG :)

senso 2024-10-12 08:55

Really enjoyed this game! The pixel art is charming, and the game design is solid. Itโ€™s fun and challenging, with mechanics that were all new to me, which I loved. The gameplay isnโ€™t just about fast thinking; it often feels like a puzzle trying to get the right animals out while keeping the others in their circles. Once you add the greens, it gets even trickier! Iโ€™ve noticed that sometimes the critters wander out of their circles, which can be a bit challenging, but it adds to the fun(stress). Great job overall! And @lethargic just how :P

Thank you so much @senso and @mateo-avventuriero !!!

Wooow what a nice game! Everything is intuitive, fun, balanced and I love the art. I had a bit of trouble with reading the font but there is not too much text so that's ok. Loved it, great job!

yorsh 2024-10-15 01:14

Very cute! It's both simple to understand and fun to play. The use of the mixed colors (orange, green...) is really smart, and it really adds a lot to the gameplay. Graphics are great, and very time efficient I assume. Maybe it's missing just a little something (idk what) to the water/bridges to elevate the game from good looking to beautiful. Amazing game!

ani 2024-10-15 12:32

Such an adorable game. I like how each type of rex moves differently and how their wandering adds a little management aspect to the mechanics, lovely job!

hexyvexy 2024-10-23 22:27

Delightful presentation, my only real qualm was the colour switching controls. I would have preferred to toggle colours with right-click as an option-but I understand this would introduce problems for the mobile compatability.
