The Best Dinosaur by TomSmizzle

made by TomSmizzle for LD24 (JAM)
Can you be the Best Dinosaur?
Can you conquer prehistory?
Can you run past some meteors??

This game's pretty hard, but being the Best Dinosaur is pretty hard.

Had a ton of fun with this sadly I'm still not the best dinosaur.

I really REALLY wanted to be the best dinosaur...maybe because these kids were watching me and were so enthusiastic! It's a really sweet game but I won't be the best dinosaur either

this comes together nicely in terms of gameplay/art/sound, whooohooo!! the fast movement speed makes the difficulty much more bearable. i like the different kinds of meteors--gamifying extinction.

I was briefly the second best dinosaur. I'm going to have to console myself with that fact.

Pretty great, lol. My only problem is that some of the levels require a bit of memorisation in some parts.

The art and sound effects were really charming. I think the evolve/revert mechanic adds a lot to the game, I normally wouldn't replay a simple platformer like this after beating it but I ended up playing a bunch of times to go for a perfect run. The final stages of evolution and the "good ending" were pretty great.

Interesting idea, I wish I wasn't so terrible so I could be the best dinosaur. I thought this showed some good game design, great imagination and a lot of humour. Nice work

Pretty nice, man. Shows a good game doesn't have to be graphically fleshed out. Like it!
