Dino Bros by josefnpat

[raw]
made by josefnpat for LD32 (JAM)
This game is entirely self explanatory.

You are a Dino Bro, and you eat sandwiches. What more would you *really* want?

v27 is the JAM release with game breaking bugfixes (and a few very minor cleanups), and is the currently linked release!

v23 was the original JAM release, and for the LD purists can be downloaded here: http://missingsentinelsoftware.com/game/dino-bros

Big shout out to @thejotne for the fantastic art!

there's source, but no compiled executable?

Looks like only a source link is available right now. From the looks of it this is written for Love2d. If nothing else, if you could provide a .love file that would make it much easier for people to rate your game. Cheers.

Hey guys, I was putting this up as a placeholder until I could build all the binaries! Please try now!

I AM THE KING! No seriously, I voiced the king :D. Impressive how you came up with a scriptable cutscene library in such short notice. The art is fantastic(al), and the music is good too!

Simply hilarious. I loved the voice, the music, and the art were all top notch. I also enjoyed killing the dead toast. Cheers!

WOW! This is one of the best entries I have tried so far. The art is super awesome and coherent to its own unique style. The super goofy animations are super hilarious.

The voice acting is top notch, the music is nice.

It just feels so well polished, intro, menus, everything!

5/5

This is way too awesome! That voice acting!! :D
You did a great job!
Minor complaint: The movement felt a little slow and the hit boxes were not so obvious. But thats a very minor thing compared to the awesomeness of the rest!

as much as i loved the derpy little breads maybe 100 was too many for this dinosaur to fight in one go.

enjoyed your fiction, you paid more attention to your world than most have even if it was about fussy eating dinos

genuinely laughed at points but the gameplay handled a little like ass which is a real shame, really wanted some castle crashers-y smashemup fun

I love dinosaurs, I love bread, and I love this game.

The narration and the animation make this game particularly lively. The dying toasts' animations are priceless (needless to say the dino is cute too).

However you pushed the difficulty too far. When the screen is filled with toasts and you see there are 40 remaining, you can have no other reaction than "OH SHIIII...".

But it left me with a nice feeling. And I forgot to mention the background music is cool, too.

Ok, this entry is hilarious. Did you smoke or something to create a DINO BRO XD? The intro is just perfect. Good oice-over BTW!

This game looks awesome but the actual gameplay is kind of dull.

Loved the art and sound but gameplay became a little repetitive after a few minutes

Good art and voices, gameplay a bit hard to manage but it is compensed by history script.

Got overwhelmed on my first try, but managed to beat the onslaught after that. Too bad it said there were 2 breads left even after beating the king. I was sure the ending would be worth it though, so of course I took it upon myself to paint the fields of war red with jam. Figuratively, since there was no jam to be had. Only... Game jam. Apart from that the only bug I noticed was that the attack sound would play even if you pressed the attack key while jumping.

I love how everything about this is so over the top. Well, expect for the quite simplistic gameplay, which to be honest didn't really bother me as it was quite brief. The animations were enough to distract me from the fact that all I was really doing was spamming z while making sure that I had enough breathing room.

I think the game really fits a game jam - something short and funny with maybe just a bit of a challenge thrown in there. That way you can even polish it into something as nice as you have here.

hilarious game! It's really fun and loved the art. I have to say, the dino walking cycle is probably the best thing I have seen. Great Work!

The animations were cool but the dead bread jumping up and down was distracting

Nice! Great art style. I particularly liked the weird dino walk animation. I liked the cut scenes but found them a tiny bit long, but then again I always dont like cut scenes so that's just me. Voice over was good and had it's funny bits. I found the delay on jump a little weird. Overall really good entry though!

Hilarious game, bread vs dinos has to be the weirdest battle we've ever come across! The story was great and I loved the voice acting, good job bro!

That was quite impressive. I enjoyed the idea and some of the gameplay.

As others have mentioned, though, the difficulty is pretty steep when ir ramps up.

Also, while having a jump button is nice, it really didn't do anything that I could see, so I mostly ignored that button. If there's a use for jumping, I was not able to grok it.

But, visually and audibly, this was a stellar entry. It had humour, too. A few tweaks to the gameplay would make this game truly stand out as one of the best entries.

Unfortunately the gameplay was lacking.... But the art was wonderful and the story was pretty funny. This really gave me a Castle Crashers vibe.
