The Dino Run by TwixtorTitan
The Dino Run
This is a short little infinite runner that lets you run jump dive and fly as a dinosaur. Use S & D to control this game. The game gets progressively harder.
This is my first time working with libGDX. So i could not figure out how to build a html version. This is also my first time doing a LudumDare with java. Went relatively well except for some libGDX relative issues. I finished most of the game on Saturday. On Sunday I added a scoreboard and sound effects.
====== MENU CONTROLS ======
USE S & D TO NAVIGATE MENU
PRESS S & D AT THE SAME TIME TO PRESS A BUTTON.
====== GAME CONTROLS ======
S = Dive.
D = jump/fly.
====== BUGS ======
Entering the gameplay scene in not the original 1280*720 resolution causes the background to break. Not a game breaking bug.

In the score screen if you press S+D on either play or quit, nothing happens. I did not understand how I am supposed to make my first jump. I tried pressing D and also pressing and holding D. It never made it on the other side.

Interesting game. It's not something I'd play for long, but I think if there were more types of buildings, more colors, maybe more obstacles, the game would nail it. Oh, and I like the music.

I really like the dive mechanic. It adds an element to a runner that I haven't experienced before. I wish the game started a little faster, just so it's more fun when you have to restart. Nice work!
