You are a proud reptilian. Your people thirst for blood and hunger for power. You hunger for tacos.

Overall entertaining, though is it possible to get the tacos?

I got tacos! <3 And had a lot of fun with this! Beautifully executed! The game mechanic is a bit like in the game "Obake", shoudln't you happen to know it!

I hadn't heard of Obake, but having looked it up, I see that they mention having taken inspiration from Kirby, which is the first thing I thought when the theme was announced.

Nice graphics and smooth animations. Nice job! For improvement, make switching stages easier.

Eat a policeman, gun everyone down, get out.

Nice work, just some thoughts:

Shapeshifting is pretty difficult, the controls are a bit messy.

While shapeshifting, the game seems to run like at 2 FPS, maybe it would have been better to just pause the game completely.

I got to eat tacos and humans? what more could a dino ask for? I also got to gun down an entire police force twelve times over, so that was exciting.

On my machine, the game ran without a hitch, and I greatly enjoyed the mechanics of being able to take the abilities of whomever you ate! Nice work!

Really entertaining, but not sure on how to get the tacos. I liked your art and music as well

Very fun game! I just had to play until I finally got the taco, haha.

I feel like the taco salesman sometimes doesn't open the shop even when you are in the right form, like he saw through your reptile monster disguise... Wouldn't expect any less from a person with such eye for business, though!

Not really much gameplay to speak of (but still fun) but my god the sense of humour is on point. 'Eating' people and birds and things is quite satisfying indeed, the juice is on point. ★★★★☆
