What a great surprise. The vampire survivor mechanic combined with electro swing background music and the artwork was really cool. Nicely done.

Simple yet very fun game! The story has a nice touch to it and I really like the beginning sequence.

Developer

Thanks for playing. I was gonna cut the spinning newspaper at the beginning since I didn't think I had the time, but my daughter insisted I put it in. I'm glad she did. My full plan was to have different side headlines show up for each retry of the game. Some silly news headlines. Maybe I'll put that in for the post-jam edition of the game.

Developer

Thanks for trying out my game.

I love the story/idea of a dinsoaur throwing newspapers to others, the game feels satisfying and addictive. Would be a nice addition to have some animations but considering the time period this is amazing!

Developer

Thanks for playing. Yes, animations was planned, but cut due to time. I also wanted to add more variety to the dinosaurs, newspaper types and upgrades. Basically more content.

EXCELLENT I like the idea of how you are getting news sources and the kinds of upgrades for informing them. I think the mechanic was made well, the story is good, the art looks very nice and that overall you did a really great job on this one.

Developer

Thanks. I appreciate you trying out my game and your kind comments.

So the dinosaurs were wiped out by flying newspapers instead?? Great game!

Developer

Thanks for playing.

Really really enjoyed the game. The premise was fun and creative on the theme, the mechanics were spot on, the power-up system felt great. Overall was an extremely fun experience :)

Developer

Thank you for playing.

Really fun game! This game is just bursting at the seams with charm and personality!
Some of my highlights:

1) The tiny T-rex arm rotating madly to throw newspapers

2) The way the upgrades were worded for example "informs harder and more frequently"

3) The overall scenario is just hilarious as others have pointed out, I like to imagine this is how it all went down 65 million years ago.

Excellent work!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for all the praise!

Submitted(+1)

This theme is actually hilarious. I love the whole concept. Such a wild  and fun twist on the bullet heaven genre.

Developer

Thanks for posting and playing the game. Glad you enjoyed it!

DUDE! A DINOSAUR BULLET HELL REVERSE GAME! you had all my attention haha, love it! the only thing i find to improve is that if you stay still you can also aim to all directions

Developer

Thanks for playing my silly game.

Submitted(+1)

Probably the most fun game I've tried so far, great job! If only dinosaur society was totalitarian, we might still have them!

Developer

Haha. Thanks for playing!

I love this one! I think it's great that our paperboy hero is so adamant and determined to spread the news despite having a tiny little arm to throw with! I played through three times, the first I tried varying weapons, the second I tried to do all boomerangs and failed, the third I maxed out the regular newspapers, they're quite strong!

I see your list of things you wish you'd been able to add and, please, don't feel too bad about it!! You managed to make a functional and fun game in only ten days! Two thirds of the people who joined the game jam weren't able to submit a game at all, so you should be very proud of yourself! :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks for all the kind words. Yeah, I'm glad I got the game completed enough to submit. I'll definitely build more into it, just won't rush it.

Developer(+1)

Submitted(+1)

Developer

Haha, thanks for playing.
