(Previously called "The Shrubberry shrubbery eating and tree herring-cutting Dinosaur")
Uhm. What do I write here? Play the game I guess?
It's a "survival" third person slasher. You control The Shrubberry shrubbery eating and tree herring-cutting Dinosaur and must avenge your family. Eat Shrubberry shrubberies, bunnies, deers and, finally, humans to growvolve. You win by eating all the humans.
This game can be launched with itch, itch.io's launcher. Tested on win7 x64. If you don't now what's itch, check it out here: http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-34/?action=preview&uid=52767
Controls and instructions are thrown at your face in-game
If you can't find any humans, press G. It will show arrows pointing towards them.
If you get any crashes, contact me
Changelog:
Bugfix #0
- Crash related to xInput controllers fixed

Great work on the engine, the old school graphics and working the concept! The controls also work like a charm!
There is actually a time you don't want to run too fast. I probably didn't make it clear. The deer run away if you're running.
I like this kind of games where you can get bigger and get "upgraded". However at level 2 I was just thinking "welp...getting next level is going to take too long".
Nice overall experience though :>
the game worked perfectly for me (x86).
As for the game I like the idea of Evolution (especially dino ! who doesnt love dino ! ^^ )
But I think the dino moovement is too slow. and maybe not enough water resources. I died at lvl 0 because I coulndt find any water. Maybe the rabbids hide the lakes or something :p
I think it's a cute game, but the food curve for 'leveling' turns it into a music-less grind (and there aren't nearly enough deer to satisfy my dino's taste for flesh). I'm also disappointed I never got to kill and eat my stray human prey.
I got this error when fighting a human: http://hastebin.com/vatenurohi.txt
