Yeah cool music funny little game and I agree with SleepingPanda about regenerating the map to make it potentially infinite that would be super cool

Cool sprites & animations. I first thought it was a runner so I barely run as fast as I could to the right and felt in lava like an idiot dino, haha. My bad. That would be lovely to still be able to survive more longer even when the ground is fully destroyed. Probably - I don't know - but with another platforms generation or something spawning new platforms so that good players could still play longer. I don't know.

Anyway, good job! Fellow Construct 3 dev :D

Really cool game. My favorite part was probably the music, it was appropriately dramatic and intense. The lava was kinda static so I think it would be cool if it had an animation or something like that. The dinosaur hitbox didn't always work as sometimes I thought I was touching lava but didn't die. I also think you should add something displaying your high score so that the player doesn't have to remember it. overall a really fun little game!!!

Really enjoyed the visual ascetic of the game, the jump animation was my favorite with the little dino sticking their neck up!

It did surprise me first time I ran through and just straight up jumped off of the edge. I feel like it would be cool if there was an endless mode where there keeps being more land for you to travel to, but keeping the scope reasonable I feel like the game was pretty solid and I had a lot of fun playing it. Great work!

Best score I got was 67 points. Funny enough I just stood still for most of that run.

lol, yeah I did want to make my island longer, probably something similar length to an old game I used to play ages ago called Dino Run but I ran out of time. Glad you had some fun with it and that's certainly a respectable score

Nice little game.

At first I though it would be more of a runner kind of game. So I got confused when I ended up stuck in front of lava. but the gameplay is nice. the visuals are really neat. the character controller feels good and it's always impressive to see destructible ground in a jam game. kuddos on that !

Good job :)

The game is very simple, but it's really fun!

Played it a few times, and one of them I managed to score 101 points somehow lol

The dinosaur animation is really cool, and the music goes really well with the dinosaur aesthetic! It's a pity that the assets are not original :(
