Triassic Park by GiraffeCat

made by GiraffeCat for LD 41 (JAM)

You're in charge of the night shift at Triassic Park. It's up to you to make sure the dinosaurs are fed and watered, their enclosures are kept clean, they don't break down the fences, and they don't disembowel you.

You have the following tools at your disposal: - Dinosaur Feed: A big juicy steak. - Poopy-Scoopy: No-one thought to toilet-train them. - Lure 'em Away: No dinosaur can resist a blue sphere. - Fence Repair Kit 3K: Magically re-materialises all kinds of chain-link. - Dinosaur Juice: Not made from dinosaurs, but they love it.

If you can survive until the morning, you win the game!

Hey guys, really cool game! I like the mood and the audio. The game is not easy to beat, which is also great.

I get a message with just "Fatal Error" when trying to launch.

Very ambitious game! It took me a while to fully understand the mechanics/objectives but after a few failed attempts I started to really enjoy it. Unfortunately I couldn't get the lure to work (I seemed to keep throwing it out the cage? Maybe I was meant to use it before going in..) and I also couldn't figure out which cage the indicators at the top represented. Apart from those little bits, the game is very nicely polished and very enjoyable. Good work guys!

Had to restart the game a few time because clicking on the main menu lost me button focus and I couldn't see the cursor lol

Enjoyed the visual atmosphere but the SFX was quite jarring.

Player movement animation was cute and made me feel I was playing a board game.

Overall good entry

I wish the controls were better. Atleast make it so you move with the arrow keys if you don't have to use your mouse for movements because then you are more free to use the other actions with your left hand instead of being forced to use all buttons with the same hand

Nice visuals and good use of sound to really get the feeling you are being chased. An example game or warning like 'feed the dinosaurs' might smooth the learning curve.

Quite ambitious, I like the graphic style, it works perfectly. Audio effect are good too, though the whole fills a nit empty without music.
Also I could'nt figure out how to close a door, when I try it just rings the alarm and I'm stuck on the minigame panel.

Really cool concept. Buzzers are a little harsh. Definitely should be developed a little further. Try out our first entry https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/41/infinite-typer

Good job! I like the concept and the art! It could use some music (this is a stealth game), fewer dinosaurs (you can't do anything without walking into one), and slower turning on the dinosaurs (They snap to where they're looking, which can be 180 degrees from where it's looking currently. Rather obnoxious, since they can instantly spot you in a large circle around you).

Good job, and good luck!

Really interesting concept! A bit more development and you could have yourself a very cool game! As it stands right now things are a bit unclear and the UX can definitely be improved and be made a bit more user friendly. It's quite a difficult game the way it is at the moment. Great job on a cool concept though!
