Fun game! A bit hard to get the hang of, but once those upgrades get's unlocked it starts to click! What a great entry!

Submitted(+1)

This game is awesome! I love the details with the sound when you do a chain together, it hits so well when able to get multiple chain and seeing the score get high! I like the aesthetics a ton. Has a cartoony, fun feel to it (which is funny considering the topic at hand). I had a great time with this one, great stuff!

761 was the best I could do! I had no idea there was an entire meteor shower dedicated to wiping out the poor dinosaurs.

The upgrades are a really nice touch to keep the game interesting and different from time to time. I especially appreciated being able to hold down the mouse to do attacks! Also, being able to customize the color of the pterodactyl was an appreciated bonus. :D

I wish I was better at this sort of game, to be able to see all the upgrades (and save the dinosaurs!) I should come back to it later, when I've rested up from game jamming.

Oh my gosh this is great. I love the whole idea, and the execution of the idea is also killer. Great job!!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game, gets hectic very quickly! The sounds are great when chaining meteors, upgrades add replayability. Congrats!

Submitted(+1)

Loved the character customization and the leader-board, I only managed to get 300 or so point but loots of fun.

Submitted(+1)

At first I was thinking "Oh this is easy..." Got the upgrade so bounced meteors don't do anything and felt like I was cheating. Next round got a bit trickier but not bad, got the upgrade for constant attack.

... what was that madness which happened afterwards?! I barely survived to get "faster respawn" and got absolutely cratered in the next round.

10/10 would (fail to) prevent extinction again!

Absolutely loved it, gave me a nice arm workout. Managed to get 5k score, but the leaderboard didn't update it sadly :(

Developer (2 edits)

Oh no! Did it give you a confirmation message? I'm so sorry about that. If you DM me I'm happy to manually add your score.

Edit: Realized there aren't DMs on Itch lol. In any case, you can let me know if it matters to you.

Submitted

Haha it's fine, the fullscreen bugged out right before I died so I didn't get a chance for a confirmation, it's all good though. I appreciate it.

Developer

For sure, well thanks for playing! We're glad you liked it and 5k is a great score,

The character customization was a nice touch!
Regarding gameplay, I really enjoyed it, and the combo mechanics are super fun!
It's an addictive game too, nice work!

Holy, had a blast with it.

my score on first try 1903

Submitted(+1)

Loved the idea, pretty quick to adapt to. I managed to get on the leaderboard in the first try :)

Submitted(+1)

Really love the level of detail, the little customizability with the player character and the leaderboard. I had a pretty large bug with the cursor jumping around the screen, but I loved the upgrades and enjoyed the game a lot.

Submitted(+1)

Awesome game! Lots of fun. 

My only complaint is that the level-up screen appears too randomly and I accidentally clicked on one of the powers without being able to read it. I'll never know what it was!

Submitted(+1)

This game is a really fun experience from start to finish! Really well polished too. I love that one of the upgrades just makes the game twice as hard, really zany and fun!

Submitted(+1)

Awesome! Chaotic and genious! Ok, now my wrists are gone and my mouse have a double click, but it was really fun! Really great job!!

Submitted(+1)

This is dope! What a great entry!

I was playing with a track pad instead of a mouse, so I couldn't make it too far into the game with how fast the meteors started going, but I still really enjoyed it! 

The combo system is very cool, I really like the power ups between rounds, and even the little color customization at the beginning is a very nice touch. Awesome entry! Well done to you both!

Developer

Thank you for playing and for your kind words! We knew this game would be tough on a track pad, I hoped the mouse sensitivity option might mitigate that a little bit but it is what it is, glad you enjoyed it anyway.

Submitted(+1)

This is overall, one of my favorite games in this Jam. It fit the theme very well and the story given was fleshed out enough that I knew why I was doing what I was doing. Save the dinosaurs!

I don't know why, but I loved the "bouncing ball" sound of the meteoroids!

I also enjoyed having choices pop up at intervals.

Developer(+1)

Thanks so much! We worked hard to make the sound effects satisfying so I'm glad you liked them.

Submitted

Really do like this game :) Thanks for responding!

Submitted(+1)

Cool game! I really like how the upgrades work. The mouse was a bit strange sometimes but overall I really liked this one. Nice job!

Developer

Thanks for playing! I tried for so long to get the mouse cursor to disappear and reappear at the right times but HTML5 games in Unreal are tough in that regard.

Submitted(+1)

Like Mastersimrad said. Unique idea, well implemented! Nice upgrades mechanic!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!

Submitted(+1)

This is such a unique idea that incorporates the theme very well. One of my favorites so far for sure!

Developer

That's great to hear, thank you so much!
