Really good job, it reminded me of classic flash games, in a good way!
Really loved this one! The meteor mechanic is really satisfying and the difficulty curve feels just right. Absolutely love the art! great job
Love the game. The art style is good and the gameplay is nice.
I did around 550 and it was really hard.
Really great game!
I liked the pacing of how the meteors ramped up in intensity. I feel like that was dialed in quite well. Definitely an addictive game and the different upgrade paths make multiple playthroughs feel fresh as you try to figure out which upgrades you like the most.
Awesome job!
This was quite original, I like the gameplay, the art style was good, I didn't get that far, around 500 score it was really difficult for me, I just qualified for a highscore though, i'm not used to fast paced games, and i'm old :D good job, one of the better games i've seen so far :)
Nice concept, fun game. This is one of the more enjoyable game I have played (for this jam) so far.
Nice fun game. What could be improved is the UI. "How many hits can the ground take".
The speedup of the meteors during the game. It is way to fast for learning how chaining works.
The combo system is awesome! feels like a fresh take on the "missile command" type game
Also just a suggestion, but maybe a vertical aspect ratio would work better? (since you can see the asteroids flying in & you can chain more asteroids as a result)
Overall amazing job! I also love that you guys included a leaderboard & color picker for the pterodactyl
We're considering doing some more work to it and porting it to mobile, I agree a vertical aspect ratio could be cool, we just wanted to make a full screen pc game for this jam. Thanks for playing!
Love it, you really have got the fun here.
And dinosaurs saving the planet, what a novel concept!
Awesome game, I love the chaining mechanic, and I have to know how you implemented the high score table! Great level of polish, very cool game! Will come back and play again!
HELL THIS IS FUN! perfect score from me!! So many features in, incl upgrades and… what? a color picker for my character? lol, fantastic^^
Thanks so much for the kind words!! Glad you appreciate the color picker, my buddy decided to implement that on a whim one morning, and we loved it.
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!
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!!
Awesome game, gets hectic very quickly! The sounds are great when chaining meteors, upgrades add replayability. Congrats!
Loved the character customization and the leader-board, I only managed to get 300 or so point but loots of fun.
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 :(
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.
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.
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!
