It's pretty odd how just a few people actually tried to combine two genres (in this case, cowboys and dinosaurs) to make a theme-related entry. This one turned pretty well.\r<br\/>I loved the graphics, and the song is gorgeous... even though I don't quite think it suits the game.\r<br\/>The game is overall good, but I think it's way too slow. The time needed to find an enemy is just too much. I liked that you can still shoot dinosaurs after you kill them, nice detail."},{"author_name":"CRAZEERUSKEE","author_uid":"21579","time":"Aug 26, 2014 @ 2:34am","epoch":1409020140,"text":"AWESOME!!!! The art, music, and general feel were all great! I love the cutscene, death screen, and customization! The gameplay was a bit lackluster but was made up for by the exploding dinosaurs.

They brutally murdered your friend and you want revenge. Kill every reptile you can get your hands on. The two different worlds collide together and are connected. (<- See what I did there)\r\n\r\nThis is my first Ludum Dare and also my first \"Complete\" game. It really isn't complete but at least it has a beginning and an end. If you want to play a more polished version of the game check out the post compo version which will constantly be updated.\r\n\r\nFeatures\r\n-----------------------------------\r\n-  Customise your player skin\r\n-  Fight against a what may seem like an endless wave of dinosaurs\r\n-  Dinosaurs ranging from small velociraptors, t-rex and huge brachiosaurus\r\n-  (Multiplayer, is buggy and may not work) and singleplayer* \r\n \r\n\r\nMade by me with Unity and Photoshop.\r\nMusic by TomboFry.    music.tombofry.co.uk\r\n\r\nThere is also a Post Compo version being worked on which is available (see above), but has multiplayer taken out until it works. The post compo version will eventually include: \r\n-  Shops \r\n-  Seamless multiplayer and singleplayer \r\n- Achievements\r\n-  Different modes \r\n-  And more! \r\n \r\n\r\n*This game features both single and multiplayer but both are very buggy due to the time constraints. This game was made in one and a half days. If you notice a game breaking bug please tell me. Thank you.","title":"The Wild West And Its' Living Fossils"}
