How would it be to see dinosaurs during a time-travel? Hopefully not like that!

How does your game fit the theme?
The game begins with a false sense of security as you are a time-travel tour guide who has brought tourists to the past. Initially, it feels like a relaxing and serene moment... but then things go wrong: the time machine malfunctioned, and in just 3 minutes, you'll be hit by a meteor storm.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?

I had to think about XKCD comic 2976 ( Time Traveler Causes of Death ) when the intro twist got revealed :D Cool game. I managed to win with one tourist eaten, but I did not manage with less than one being eaten. You did a great job with that voice acting in that goofy intro and the generell setting is great.

Developer

Thanks a lot!! I really appreciate your review!

Wow, the game idea is awesome, I love collecting stuff to survive. The voice acting is awesome! 

But why is it so short? :( Also I would like more different levels of difficulty, and I'm looking forward to the sequel!!!!

Developer(+1)

Wow! That's great! Of course there will be a massive update!

If you liked it so much you will be happy to know that in the next days there will be a Steam page for this game!!!

If you would like to know how I managed to make this game you can also consider to follow me on YouTube! I'm working on a video in which I will show how I made this game!

In the complete game there will be a lot of new levels, new features , new dinos and enemies... new gameplay mechanics and a lot of cutscenes!

Voice acting in any game jam game is an instant wow for me. I really liked the pacing as well with the time limit and resources. I think one thing I might change is making the dinosaurs scarier. At the start I was scared of them but then they never chased me. Sounds funny to say but I wish the dinos were more aggressive. Also for picking up wood the sound effect has a high peaking bit that played in the right ear of my headphone so maybe swap that one out if you do a post jam build. Really solid entry all around though and I think a great take on the theme!

Developer

Thank you a lot for for the kind words!!!

Yes for sure I will keep updating, I'm going to upload it on Steam! In a couple of days I'm going to make the Steam page and there I will need all the support and suggestions that all of you are giving to me!

I'm so happy for all the beautiful words! Thank you so much!

Developer

Thanks a looooooottt!!! I'm so happy! Have you any suggestions for future updates ? I'm going to publish it on Steam so I would really appreciate any ideas!

nice little game 

Developer

Thanks a lot

Love the theme and art, and didn't expect the tourist twist at the end of the intro to complicate things lol. Fun game!

Maybe a minimap that just shows tourists would make it more manageable? But maybe then it'd be too easy to wrangle them in. Shoutout to dinosaur themed games of course :) Well done

Developer (1 edit) (+1)

Thanks a lot! The minimap could be interesting to add, maybe it could be added with a new mechanic. I'm thinking about to add gadgets to the game, which can give benefits during the game

Love the voice acting. The turning was a bit wonky - it would often turn me by 45 degrees or even 180 degrees when I barely tapped the turn button. I liked the general idea - had a retro 90s computer game feel. The models were on point.

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! I'm sorry for the character control! I know that I need to improve it a bit... I'm going to publish this game on Steam so for sure I will make it way better!

Thanks for the nice review!

Submitted(+1)

Naw, dont apologize. It was a jam - and it definitely showed the point in the game and had some fun in there. You did well.

Developer

Thanks a lot!

Very cool game! I really like the polish with the outline on the pick-upable objects, and the art is super cute

Developer

Thaaaaank youuuu! It's a super easy shader to do! You can make it in 5 minutes!

Awesome intro dialogue! Great work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot!!!

Submitted(+1)

hey man I like the dinos, I think they look sick. The intro at the start is also pretty good but gameplay was super quick. One thing I would say is that if you fail, it would be cool to have a cut scene or something where the dinos attack you lol. Other than that, good job on the submission man :) 

Developer

That would be very nice! I'd like to update this game and make it a real complete game, so for sure I will add your good idea to the final game! Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

If it weren't for these tourists who dream of being eaten by dinosaurs the game would be ordinary. But this idea that you should not only collect resources, but also make sure that no one gets eaten, makes the game special. 
I won with one surviving tourist, lol

Love it!

I think I'm gonna cry for all these awesome commentssss!!!😭😭😭

Thanks a lot!!!

Developer

Thanks!! Yes this will be added in a future update!

The voice acting is good! 

Developer

Thanks a lot!

the voice acting at the start seems nice, but is it made with AI?? i have that feeling so i voted a bit lower onn the audio aspect, if itt's actually voiced i will rate it higher

also the game works, idk why they wannt to die that badly ttho xd.

not a fan of the gameplay but game is very polished here

Developer (1 edit) (+2)

Ahahahah yes they are a bit too much curious maybe! Ahahah

Yes you are right, I own a software that let me make professional voiceovers! (But of course, in order to make it sound like that, I add to do a lot of adjustments in postprocessing!) It the first time I used it and I'm pretty happy with the result!

The gameplay is to be completed in my opinion, I'd like to add a lot of new features in future, I'd also like to know what improvement would make it better in your opinion? What would you add to the gameplay?

Thanks for your nice review!

Submitted(+1)

i would make the camera feel less robotic, and i would add some visual cues that tell you when someone is in danger.

to make the game longer maybe some more levels or "minigames" . like grabbing all the remaining people like pikmin and transport them to another place!

about the professional voiceover i am fine with it. i just feel weird when i notice something is made with thhe help of ai xd!

would help if you check out ouur game too!

Developer(+1)

Your are totally right! I want to totally change the character controller, but I hadn't enough time to do it!

Yes that would be cool to add the grabbing feature! I will think about it, thanks!


Yes of course I will check yours!

Submitted(+1)

Indeed, not only our games have the extinction even theme, but they are about gathering things for a ship! haha

The game feels and looks very nice and it is easy to understand. Really great job :)

Developer

Thanks a lot!

nice voice and art but if there is camera control it will more better

Developer

Yes that's true! But in order to finish the game I hadn't fix it

Everyone praises the voice acting, and I don't disagree; it's great.

I think this game captures the feeling of having several plates spinning at once fairly well.  However, I also agree that the number of tourists to keep track of and how far you had to go away from them at times to collect resources made the gameplay a little tough. Perhaps the game would have been more manageable with a wider camera, or a mini-map (although that may defeat the point)?

I'm also not sure why there's a sprint button, as there isn't really any reason you'd ever want not to sprint. As is, it's just something which you hold down the whole time.

Of course, all these are footnotes; you made a pretty fun game.  I'm impressed by the level of polish - nice job!!

Developer(+1)

Thanks a lot! I completely agree with you. You're right there's no real reason not to be able to run, and I hadn't thought about that! Hahahaha. Still, I like that there's the option to run, as without it, someone might have requested that feature anyway.

Unfortunately, I didn’t have enough time to balance the difficulty of the game. For now, the only lose condition is running out of time. You can still win even if all the tourists are "lost," but this only impacts your final score!

Anyway, thanks again for your kind review!

Loved the voice acting in the intro, it did a really good job of establishing the setting quickly and made it feel really polished! Having to keep all the tourists from getting themselves eaten was fun and could make for some really interesting levels down the track.

Thanks for your review! I really appreciate you liked it!

This was an interesting game with amazing voice acting! I like how it implements with the theme and in general, like the premise of the game!

I found it hard trying to save all the tourists so maybe you could have a level system? Lower levels have less tourists + less items to collect and it gets harder as you progress.

Developer(+1)

Yes that's true! I have to find a good balance!

I spent the entire week in developing the game, so I barely played it a few times...but my plan is to make more levels as you mentioned. 

Then each level will be some peculiarities to make it always entertaining!
