Like the LCD style graphics, even down to the 5% alpha shadowing of elements.  Great presentation, very appropriate sounds.  Good emulation!"},{"author_name":"mklee","author_uid":"781","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 6:45am","epoch":1418452800,"text":"Very faithful rendition of classic LCD games. Enjoyed the clever touches like reusing the dino attacking the UFO\/being carried away in the same way those games would do. Good stuff!"},{"author_name":"6DownStudios","author_uid":"39552","time":"Dec 13, 2014 @ 6:52am","epoch":1418453220,"text":"Excellent!  I used to have one of those handhelds, and you really nailed it on the art and sound.  Also hilarious premise.

The game is fun but it freezes when I die, that's too bad. I had to come back to this page the first time around to figure out the controls. Perhaps some text on the page could help? At any rate, this was a lot of fun, congrats!"},{"author_name":"TKF15H","author_uid":"46664","time":"Dec 16, 2014 @ 10:52pm","epoch":1418770020,"text":"Loved it!

It could do with a little more polish, but it really feels like it would have been a classic handheld game from the 80's.  Great art style!  And due to the genre, the simple bleeps and bloops make sense.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I also appreciate the simple control scheme and design, and the UI."},{"author_name":"Tifu","author_uid":"7793","time":"Dec 17, 2014 @ 2:21pm","epoch":1418825760,"text":"Clever, with the fake LCD you literally can see the entire game on one screen, every possible game state :D"},{"author_name":"gre","author_uid":"18803","time":"Dec 18, 2014 @ 10:24am","epoch":1418897940,"text":"very cool take on the theme"},{"author_name":"mactinite","author_uid":"26320","time":"Dec 18, 2014 @ 9:44pm","epoch":1418938740,"text":"Awesome!

You're a Tyrannosaurus Rex so it's going to take more than some aliens, flying saucers, and a mysterious lake of fire to take YOU down! Play an entire game on one convenient screen!\r\n\r\nUpdate: I've released a post-compo mobile edition! Hit the mobile link below and simply touch the left side of the screen to jump, right side to do the downward bite attack. Enjoy!\r\n\r\nNotes:\r\nUp arrow to jump, down arrow to bite. Simple as that!\r\nTested in Chrome and IE. I wasn't getting sound in IE. The game does have sound effects!\r\nIf you have a low (or even medium) screen resolution set you may actually need to zoom out a touch or two for best results. With a little more time I could have set up the page a bit better. \r\n\r\nTools:\r\nAll graphics were done in GIMP, sound effects were generated using SFXR, and all development was done in JavaScript using Phaser. \r\n\r\nIt's silly but please enjoy!","title":"Dino Dash: Rex's Run"}
