An awesome dinosaur platformer!

Too bad there aren't any levels.

I guess you will need to design your own while you play!

NOTE: The HTML5 version had a web socket issue because we used windows only code to do our web calls. We had to refactor that to make the HTML5 version work. It has now been fixed. We also loaded a separate zip of the new and improved high score code for the windows platform, as well. The original version is called: "http://classegames.com/LLGL/LeapingLouiePC.zip" and the refactored web code version for windows is called: "http://classegames.com/LLGL/LeapingLouiePCBugFix.zip"

Hey, everybody! Thanks for looking at our game. The Windows one is good to go, but we just found out that we accidentally used "Windows Only" system calls to get the high score information. Unfortunately, that breaks our webGL/HTML5 version when it starts the game play and tries to grab the past high scores. We will have to rewrite that portion and post a bug fix for the HTML5 version a bit later today. So play the Windows download version for the moment and we'll get the HTML 5 one in just a bit.

Nice entry! Platformer level designer mechanic was a nice interpretation of the theme, and graphics and voice acting are nice.

I got a few crashes on the HTML5 build, but I was able to get a good amount of gameplay in between.

I didn't know what to do at first, but I understood how to do it after a few failures. It would be nice to have an explanation.

Really great graphics - are those models you made yourself during the competition? If so, wow. I was very impressed by the visuals. Sound and voice acting are good, and well-synchronized with the animations. Game was fun, but very hard - it might be cool to have a tutorial before diving in. Nice work!

The dinosaur graphics were amazing! But the as soon as I started the game, I had a ton of bugs leading to me only being able to play the game once... However, the only time I played, it started with me jumping to my death... I hope you can fix the bugs, so other people can have a good time playing your game!

I really love the voice acting in this. "You're bad at drawing" made me laugh out loud.

I needed three tries to figure out what i was supposed to do, but then the game have been funny.
I loved the voice acting.

Also, html5 version crashed while trying to play "easy". I had to play normal.

HTML5 Crashes all the time. So I went to the Windows Build. I set it to normal played for over half an hour and got a score of 150 million than it crashed... i wanted that highscore :( it would have been 50x the previous one.
I got the "No way" highscore afterwards instead

edit: if anyone beats my no way highscore tag me I want it back

I will check on the HTML5 version crashes after work today. I noticed it won't play in full screen, and I think that is what is causing the problems. If you don't click the full screen button it seems not to have the problem. If you do click full screen and get the error, you may need to close the tab and reclick the HTML5 link to start fresh.

The dinosaurs are a unity asset. Most of the graphics are home grown during the competition.

I fixed the bug that was causing you not to be able to maximize the WEBGL version it was simply an error in the index page calling the wrong instance identifier. Hopefully that will make the HTML5 version play better.

Your game is so surrealistic. Your are Salvador Dali of Ludum Dare.

I want you to win just because of that amazing voice over. It makes the game so much more fun to play. The graphics are very well chosen for the game and it's a very creative use of the theme.

Overall it's an amazing entry for the jam.

Wonderful game work. I actually laughed out loud after dying, "you faillled me"! lololol. Great work on this fun little game. It did crash when I switched from no way mode to easy mode. Not sure if it can be replicated. Really, really great entry to Ludum Dare!

Everything about this was great. The voice acting was a adorable, the art was amateur but still really good and the gameplay was really nice. Not to mention how awesome this concept was. I'm amazed you managed to get a highscore system in! Awesome job!

Always happy to see games implement voice acting and it was put to very good use here! The game was humorous, fun to play, looked decent and sounded good! High marks. Well done!

Love the voice acting! Game seems really polished aside from the gameplay, that's polished too though. Lol.

Those highscores are insaneeee though! Am I really that bad at drawing! I die within 15 seconds every. Single. Time. Glad you linked the game though! I had fun!

The voice acting is great and the graphics are awesome. Couldt get the hang of the game at first. I keep dying every 10 seconds. No wonder Im not in charge of level design in Mad Brokli :P - RB

Really fun idea and I enjoyed playing it. I had a few crashes forcing me to start over, but other than that it was nice. Even though I clearly sucked at the game :)

Nice work on the voice acting as well. Good job.

Graphics and audio were really nice done! Hard to get a hang of the game and the background is a bit confusing
