Dinosaur Game Level 1 by JDcierski
A game where all you do is play the same level over and over again. It can't be the fun can it? Have fun trying to see if you can even beat level 1 in this game about a platforming dinosaur.

Since I have played This Is The Only Level, a lot of the gimmicks were familiar to me. I can see this game as really confusing to people who havent played that though.
I'd suggest adding hints about what is happening in each stage to give players a clue about what's going on.
The platforming itself tho was really tricky, The spikes hitboxes were way too large, the speed of the player was way too fast, the gravity too low, it kinda took away from the game when I had to battle with the platforming instead of solving the actual puzzles.
Still a very creative entry, well done!
One of my favourites this year :smiley:
I had some genuine fun with this one. It really teleported me back to the era of early 2000s flash games. I'd say you nailed that vibe to a T. :ok_hand: Controls were a little floaty, but overall very nicely done!

I love this kind of game. And I love dinosaurs. :heart_eyes: :smile:
Great game! Very creative. Good job. :)
It would have been nice to see this game put more focus on puzzles than it currently has right now. Although, given it's a compo game, I recognize that's asking for a lot. It's pretty hard implementing new mechanics in a time crunch, already.
