Dino Bros by josefnpat
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!

The voice acting is top notch, the music is nice.
It just feels so well polished, intro, menus, everything!
5/5
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!
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
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.

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.
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.
