How does your game fit the theme?
It's a game about the "calm" moment before a storm hits and you realize you really need to go grocery shopping before you get stuck indoors. Also you are a dinosaur.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
We made everything ourselves except for the music and some of the fonts. Everything we didn't create is credited in the description.

Great work on this! I thought the shopping mechanic was really straightforward, nice job including a score based on how well you did after you leave the store! Excellent work on the intro and outro animations.

Cute and funny!

We thought the game had a fun vibe, with cute little dinosaurs running around. It was also very hectic and stressful which fit the theme well, it was maybe a bit too difficult to remember everything on the shopping list however, so having to stop each time you check the list felt a bit clunky. 

We also had some issues with the movement, as it felt like we lost speed and had to turn around to move fast again, and we couldnt get the "ramming" of other dinosaurs to work.

But apart from that, nice work!

The vibe was correct. The hecticness of shopping and seeing people take stuff off the shelves in a frenzy and sometimes seeing two shoppers ram into each other repeatedly was funny. 

I think upping that franticness would make the game really stand out.,

Really cute! Love the concept, really unique! The dinosaurs were adorable, and the grocery store music was spot on.

Ramming around the grocery store was a lot of fun, and looking for each ingredient was genuinely a challenge!

Great job :)

Scored 869.13 points.  Fun game and I especially loved the derpy faces in "dino cart jam".  Simple and straightforward game.

Suggestion:
- Tell about controls within game (a carpet in the supermarket as example)
- Pick up sounds and collision sounds... maybe angry mob sounds?
