Nice game and spin on the theme. I personally love Vampire Survivor so really enjoyed it. Nice gameplay loop and seen issues. Good job
Loved it. Truly fun take on what is now a classic mechanic, with a little commentary on the importance of journalism to boot. ;) You've already provided a pretty exhaustive list of things you'd like to add, so I don't think I have anything to contribute there. Just really enjoyed the combination of basic gameplay and upgrades. Great game.
This is such a cool game, I lvoed the idea though :)
Very nice game.
The progress curve feels good. Maybe a little bit easy (I won on my first try). Would have love more kind of upgrades.
Anyway, a good game. I enjoyed playing it
Thanks for playing. Haha, yeah, that's what happens when you game balance the last few minutes before the game jam is over. I'm hoping my post-jam edition of the game will be better balanced after I put in more content and polish.
I like how quick and easy this is to jump into. It's simple but it's so addicting! Love the whimsical tone of it, the music is very fitting. It's cool that you're doing a post-jam version, I'll be sure to check it out!
Thanks for playing my game and your kind words. I hope that I keep my motivation high and I am able to get all the things I want into the post-jam game.
Really loved the game, and upgrade system hooked me to the game for a while ;). Really Good!
Thanks for playing. I appreciate the post and kind words.
Ha, that was fun, cant decide if it is paper hell or dino hell - this was excellent, well done!
Haha. Thanks for playing!
Wow this was such a fun game! The fast-paced survivors mechanics with the cool upgrades (I especially liked the boomerang) made me keep returning for more runs to inform my fellow dinos of the incoming extinction. The music track fit the vibe perfectly, absolutely loved it!
Thanks for playing my silly game. I appreciate the feedback.
The name didn't lead me to thinking it'd be a survivor's clone, but it was well done. I liked the dinosaur theme on it. I don't know why the dinosaurs drop/become human when they are informed, but nonetheless, it was a lot of fun. I died with 17 seconds left. SO CLOSE
Thanks for playing. Yeah, I wasn't sure if I should give the game a title that was obviously or not, but I thought I'd lean into the newspaper theme more.
I love this game! I honestly hadn't played much in the way of survivors-style games at all prior to this game jam, and I'd begun to conclude that it really wasn't for me. But this was great---the story spoke to me and the music and art were spot on. Great work!! I won on try #4 I think, but try #1 barely counted bc I didn't put it together and walked into 4 dinos intentionally before making the connection lol
Awesome! I'm glad to hear you beat the game. Was worried about the game balance.
Thanks for trying out the game.
I love the art and the upgrades felt very impactful! Great Job!
Thanks for trying out the game. I'm hoping to build the game up with more and interesting upgrades.
I found myself smiling when I played the game. Great choice of BGM!
Haha! Glad you liked it. Thanks for trying out my game.
Very inspiring mix of genres. Makes me wanna try something similar next jam :P
It's so fun I'd be looking forward to play more if you ever update it with that list of missing features after the jam.
Thanks for playing. Yep, I've already started on adding in cut features. First focus are on the dinosaurs. I'll be working on it for a few months. You can check it out here:

Haha loved the nome 🙃
Lol very funny.... a message that meaningless today though ;p. I had a lot of fun playing it well done :)
Awesome. Thanks for playing.
Very fun spin on the genre and application of the jam's theme. Liked the art and song choice a lot.
Thanks for playing. I got really lucky when I found the song. It really works well.
Had fun playing your game! Really liked the idea and the non-violent spin on the survivors genre. The music was great too. Took me 3 retries to get to 1k, but it was really close to 4 retries.
Good to hear you beat the game. I left game balance far too late in development so I was afraid people would either find it too easy or two hard. 3-4 attempts is great. Thanks for playing.
Pretty fun. I can see a lot of ways you could take it from here if you wanted to.
Thanks for playing. Yeah, for fun and for the learning experience, I've already started making a post-jam version.
These things are very subjective, but this really worked for me.
Happy to keep playing this one after the jam.
Love the music. love the art.
Thanks for trying out my game and the feedback.
Wow, what a fun and creative take on the ‘last stand’ theme! I loved the idea of dinosaurs shooting newspapers to inform others about meteorites—so unique and hilarious! The gameplay was super engaging, and I had a blast playing it. Awesome job, keep it up!
Thank you for trying out my silly game.
Oh that's really cool game! I didn't expect to see a survivors game but :o
Thanks for trying out my game!
