Dino Dash by GreenyUk

[raw]
made by GreenyUk for LD33 (COMPO)
Darrell is a special dinosaur. He'd like to make a cup of tea, but has run out of milk.

He has to run to the shop, but has to be VERY careful. He's clumsy as hell, and he needs to avoid killing anyone or doing any damage.

Travel to the end of the level, grab the milk, and return. Do this while doing as little damage as possible, and killing as few people as possible.

Post your scores below, I always kill ~200 people!

*CONTROLS*
Move up - A, Up Arrow
Move Down = S, Down Arrow
Jump - Space

I had lots of fun with this one. I love how the art turned out, and gameplay is short and sweet. :) Hope you all had a great LD, and see you in a few months!

Do those little people even want to live?

I decided I should be avoiding the cars because they were rarer so hitting them felt like more of a big deal. But at the end I was still a MONSTER. Is it possible to not be a MONSTER? There's no way I could have avoided those people.

Cute little game. I liked your peaceful guitar music.

The people were completely mad and it seemed easier to just stomp on them. I liked the concept and the way the game essentially made you backtrack but in a fun way.

@TackoramaLtd, the people are indeed mental. You can't help standing on them, the goal is just to stand on as few as possible ... or as many as possible should you feel so inclined. :D

The Music was great. I loved the concept. I found the game really funny. Mainly because the people are just mad. Maybe they would have live if they took the time to look where they were going. Rather than walking brainlessly into a dinosaur.

Very good music.

Crazy little people walking on the street. Hahahahahah.
Cars don't kill them, but I (a gentlemonster) do. =/
