What the hell have they done at the Fundation of Artefact Revival Timespace?!? I've told them so many times that a T-Rex cannot handle a managing console with so many buttons... I mean you don't have to play with him 42th times to PDTA-VR to understand where the problem is! Too short is too short!

Now, where did I landed? And also what "now" mean? I mean "when" are we?

What?!? It's the fifth day that I'm coming back here and now... ...at least that same given date... My timespace capsule is completely broken!

Ok then, let's try to not die today or whatever iteration it is of "today"... Wait a minute, was that button there the last time? I'm always a bit confused once Stuck in a Loop

Description

So you are a Dino working for the F.A.R.T. Academy which travel both Space and Time. Unfortunately your buddy cannot push a button any further than his gigantic "nose"... Damn, these arms are so short... So now you're lost somewhere, someday or any combination of these. The only thing you can be sure is that's not the first time you are reviving this moment. Instead of complaining yourself try leveraging your memories of the past future to do better this future time.

Try solving the puzzle by leveraging your past dead versions of yourself. Once a level is solved, just try doing better and beat the highest scores which in fact are the smallest number of steps. Just move your Dino's character with [ZQSD or WASD or Arrows] and interact with your environment. Pay attention to any trap that can occur including the copies of your past lives.

Nicely done, the puzzles are well thought out and it's well polished!
Did feel like it made a bit of a jump in difficulty in 5, but that might just be me ;)

I am terrible at puzzles so I won't pretend to tell you whether they were well designed or not. I will say your game looks really good and clearly had some polish put into it which is always good to see.

Nice! All the elements really work together. Only gripe is the death sound is much louder than anything else and kind of painful in headphones, but that's nitpicking. Great work. :)

This game was so fun and wacky! The music was great, and it was a unique spin on the "clones do your past actions" idea. Good job :)

Not too shabby :) I get the core game play loop in general but it's not my favorite genre, so I didn't past level three (I get too frustrated with those games too quickly). The music loop was had a great vibe to it and the art was basic but effective. Still, the walking could've been a bit smoother. The jumping of the camera did strain my eyes a bit. Additionally, the graphics themselves could use some ambient lighting. I'm not a huge fan of those pitch black shaded walls. That's an irrational pet peeve of mine.

Still, a good game! the game play loop works and has it's 'aha' moments, which is cool! Keep it up

I love the idea here! Really cool puzzles, and that last level was a doozy! Excellent work on the graphics, the character is pretty cool! 3D modeling looks super daunting, so huge props for fully animating a character in a weekend! Great job all around!

A really solid puzzle game - I like the dino character, and the difficulty was just the right level to keep me coming back and trying.

Nice work

The "running" animation is just too funny :D
