The combination of 3D and 2D reasoning I have to employ breaks my brain a bit, but the concept is really good, and a great take on the theme. Love the little gecko as well -- poor thing!
It felt like the move speed was a bit too slow (at least at the start where I kept dying), or the gravity was a bit too harsh, as it seemed to me that you needed to be right on top of the cactus before jumping to make it over.
Great take on the theme!
Great art style and nice spin on the original game.
And I thought the traditional game was hard ha. Great concept and artwork is well made. Congrats on making the game.
The concept is so well executed ! GG's (you can test my game if u want)
It is very cool game! Gameplay is nice! Picture is amazing! Respect!
Really crisp execution, love it!
Really awesome, super interesting take on the theme!
Amazing idea and really, really cute
Art style was fantastic, gameplay was felt familiar but had a unique twist, great job
Cute, Wish I can make games like this not like ours.
Very cute game, lovely cutscenes
Love this game! I have thrown so many Geckos to their fiery demise D:
Nice mechanic, great implementation. Just a masterpiece!
Really nice game
I also made a google dino game inspired thing but imo yours is way better
That was really fun! I really liked how you combined 2D and 3D in the same game. The main mechanic is brilliant and totally unexpected. You also managed to give new life to the most famous dinosaur on the internet. Well done!🦖 🌵
The visuals and concept are very charming! I love how it requires dividing attention between the shadow and reality! Hopefully, the little dinosaur will break free!
LOL fun game
Amazing! I love the concept and the animation.
Thanks, we appreciate that very much :)
There is some joke to be had here about Chrome not actually using Gecko, but using Blink instead.
Oh, that's quite funny, we didn't even know that the browser-engine behind Firefox is called Gecko :D Thanks for letting us know!
