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.

Fun game. Art style is perfect :)
At first I thought you mispelled "cretaceous" in your title but I now know it was intentional. Fun concept, and I saw some of their AIs fail in funny ways (kept bouncing off eachother, turning and hitting a wall, then turning and bouncing off eachother on loop) but they be stealing my groceries!
Programming the NPCs to be juuuust smart enough to be able to mostly get around but dumb enough to consistently get into traffic jams was what I spent the most time on and I'm super happy with how it turned out considering how much time I had to get it right. It would have been sooo much easier to make them just avoid each other entirely haha.
Good game thanks!
I'm not sure if updating the page will disqualify me for the jam so just going to put this in a comment - I just realized that in my late night stupor as I was submitting that I forgot to credit @Moofyman who helped make a ton of the grocery items pixel art!
The game is really hilarious! I loved the initial cutscene! Hahaha!
The idea is really clever, and it fits well with the theme!
Thanks for playing! I'll check out your game as well as soon as I have a chance.
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it!
