Cool main menu! Love the concept. The T-Rex platforming is super satisfying. But collapsed form feels unfairly difficult.

This segment feels impossible for me 💀:

10/10 GOTY I had so much fun and the sound when I jump is so satisfying. Found a bug that if im against a wall and i "deconstruct myself" the head gets stuck.

I really like how you take the theme and the mechanic of deconstruct / reconstruct is very interesting ! Good job !

Cool idea! The t-rex animations were really well done, and I love the palette choice/background art. I did get stuck in the wall though when I deconstructed next to it ![stuck.jpg](///raw/abc/d3/z/6bf4a.jpg)

I love dinos and this made me giggle so hard! Great idea and fun visuals, it's a 5/5. Unfortunately i've encountered a bug where I deconstruct myself too close to a wall and my bones got stuck so I couldn't move anymore.

Oh my, this was so much fun, and a unique concept too, the art and the music were so charming, I see lots of potential in this game

I did get stuck between building and unbuilding the skeleton tho, but overall cool and fun game
