Volcarnosaur by pierce

[raw]
made by pierce for LD29 (COMPO)
The volcano demands blood! Push other dinosaurs into the volcano to delay its eruption.

You're the dinosaur with the jetpack. Use the arrow keys to walk, fly, and push other dinosaurs.

I'm sure this was the demise of the dinosaurs. One got a jet-pack and some religious epiphany and extinct they were.

It would have been nice if the game got progressively harder.
E.g. different sizes of dinos making them harder to push up or the vulcano becoming more and more demanding so you got less and less time.

The graphics was nice. Really loved the simple dinos. It would have been nice with some massive eruption at the end, some smoke all along and especially when tossing in. Maybe some splatter too.

The background would also help if it had some texture because now it is hard to know how high up you are or what speed you are traveling at.

Avoiding death by volcano by using a jetpack is my favorite genre! We're like twins

Volcarnosaur is quite a fun game to play, the origami style characters have a great minimal look & controlling is pretty good, the sound FX are fun tho wish there was a lil music to go along and wish there was a dinosaur sacrifice counter, so you'd have a number to go along with all that hard work! Good Job!

I love the concept, but the game got pretty dull, pretty quickly. Needed to be more challenging

I don't know if I want to understand the thought process that led you from "beneath the surface" to "let's stick a jetpack to a dino" :)

Really like the paper-like dinosaur art!

Loved the origami style dino art. Would play a game that looked like that. Solid entry for 48 hours. Probably needs a faster countdown or something so you have more challenge or risk? Tweak it some more. Neat idea here.

A zoomed out camera to view the entire scenario and progressive difficulty would make this gorgeos. Leaving that aside, origami dinosaurs with !)="$/!")=$/) jetpacks, just awesome.
