Motherflipin' T-Rex! by mantis
Hello, this is my solo, compo project.
You are the T-Rex. Soon you will be killed. But before that, take as many humans down with you as possible!
Controls: Arrows for movement, Spacebar to use Roar attack.
Kill as many enemies before time runs out, but watch out for tanks!

Big props for King of the Monsters (an arcade game) and Flail Rider (game from last LD). They have hugely influenced the design of this game.

Good entry! :D
Wow this is super fun to play! I like everything about it!
Graphics are good, gameplay is fun, sounds are awesome (You did it like me!) and it has some kind of replay-ability.
Very good job Sir!
Getting a high combo was extremely satisfying, mostly due to the narration of the current combo type (Astonishing!, Ludicrous!, etc.).
Do wish the Roar attack was more frequent, but that is just me wanting to destroy everything!
Good work
Gave myself vertigo 10/10 would get dizzy again.
(P.S. the sounds are hilarious) :) Great job.
The graphics are very impressive for a game made in 48 hours.
The 2d sprites don't really mesh well with the 3d world but other than that it is absolutely hilarious.
The T-Rex reminded me quite a bit of Rex from Toy Story, it's got great charm!
Complaints: The game moved a bit too fast I felt, it got a tiny bit dizzying. The constant sound effects got a bit grating too and might've contributed to the dizzy feeling.
On another note: The game our team made is somewhat similar, it's also about a giant monster eating people in a 3D environment. Check it out! :D
It would help to have an indication when T-Rex takes a hit. I played a couple of times before I realized the yellow streams were coming from tanks on the ground, not something in the sky.
Great and fun game. You even have combos and special powers, which is great.
I liked the homemade sounds, made sense in this kind of game.
I liked the sense of humour, and the graphics and audio were pretty top-notch as well. The game was instantly understandable and enjoyable to play.
Really fun!!
I have been waiting for the release of this game since the first gif. Good work!!
Very joyfull :3
Very polished in the destruction feedbacks! It's really fun and the sounds are good too :D
Really good job
Btw, why are the people flying at the end? Is everyone going to heaven because everyone is dead? :D
I liked the graphics (good'old "vectorial graphics" as we used to call them in XX Century), the sound, the effects and everything.
A thing that I liked a lot is that I don't care if it's impossible to win it is fun.
The only problem is that is hard to read where the attack came from, and be a little bit strategic.
But it was really fun to play...
You play as a T-Rex, a dinosaur which is very well known. The gameplay is simple; you need to destroy as many humans as possible including their land and property. It sounds simple, but between the deep physics engine, top of the line graphics, professionally designed sound effects, the gameplay is top-notch, making the likes of Metal Gear Solid pale in comparison.
This is the best entry yet. If you won't take my word for it then let the in-game sound effects do the talking.
Thank you for this creation, mantis.
My first thought was that the graphics weren't great but the more I played the more they kind of worked and seemed to complement the game.
Didn't come across any bugs while playing so appears to be fairly well polished.
Very good effort.
I got a high score of 133435.
I loved every aspect of this game, the animations, sounds, and rigs. Incredibly polished. Wonderful. Just needed more abilities.
its like a masterwork of charm.
Simple yet fun. Great job!
I had a bit of a framerate problem, including using the desktop version on fastest setting, I don't really know why (maybe because of OSX ?)
Never had so much fun killing people.
you are just too good
i keep coming back to stomp more
- a haiku by zuurr
(seriously though i have come back to play this game several times, and cant say that about any of the others so far...)
But DAMN this is fun :D
5/5 will play again for sure!
ahh good times
For some strange reason, it was several games before I noticed the big red heart meter in the bottom left. Must have been me.
Big feeling of carnage. Is it possible to clear the level? I tried several times, but maybe I just suck? If not, that would be my only gameplay suggestion - maybe too hard to clear.
Very well done!
less is more! good job
Game looks great too (although some of the buttons appear disabled when they are really clickable.)
Fast and effective mechanics, and sound works as well as it could. Good job!
Really funny!
(PS : BTW man, when you played our game at the ending of the deadline, the link to the game was broken and we solved the problem thanks to your warning. Don't hesitate to retry it ;) )
Needs an Oculus version ;)
Gets a bit laggy on firefox though
Not so good with feedback on what's happening though. The first few times I died, I thought it was just a bug where the game restarted prematurely. I mean like, twice, until I realized I'd been going for tanks and just died.
Fast restarts when you die is great. "Getting" the game is really quick, and it keeps you replaying for a long time.
Nice graphics. Decent sound. And probably one of the greatest game titles submitted! Overall a really cool game. My best score -> 99400
Awesome entry, realy like this.
My highscore is 101155
Highscore: 86350
solid entry!
It would be great if you could survive a little more longer, or at least have a clear mean to avoid enemy bullets.
Nice work here! I love flat-shaded, so that will always have a +1 for me! :3 Gotta love those civilians goinh "aaaaah!" as they die! >:D
I can see this as a really fun and entertaining arcade game. :P I'd totally play this on an arcade also! XD
