I like the idea of it starting as one game, learning a mechanic that unlocks a different kind of game out of the bounds of the first game. Very interesting! The space shooter game was a little buggy, my spaceship was floating around and the movement controls wouldn't work. After getting 9000 points, the game kept going so I wasn't sure what the objective of it was. The sound effects and sprites were very cute! I love the Burgersaurus Rex. 🦕🍔

Thanks! The spaceshooter game contains a puzzle. Something changes when you reach 9000 points. The controls should be A and D for rotating counterclockwise and clockwise, S lets you do a 180 reverse, and W is forward. (Old school tank controls) It's a bit of a puzzle, but I can certainly provide support if you need any hints. (There's a big secret after that part that I don't want people to miss!) Haha yeah, I thought it was a funny little idea! A dino that eats burgers haha!

Ooh I see, I will try again and I'm excited to see the big secret!

Haha thanks! I tried to make it about going outside the boundaries in as many ways as I could!

Playing through games and breaking the fourth wall is a magnificent idea for this game jam theme! It feels like you’re stuck in a loop if you don’t look around for the mysteries hidden in the games to break out! Great job!

Developer(+1)

Haha thanks! I'm glad you liked it! Yeah I wanted to convey the idea of being in an infinite loop until you broke through, so I went with a knowledge based approach to progression, so if you know what you're doing, you could beat the game really quickly!

I think?

I'm not sure anymore.

I'm somewhat convinced that there's more beyond the stuff that's beyond the veil.

haha it sounds like you haven't went fully beyond, the ending is very well defined
