Very creative and fun!
This is HOT stuff))))
Unique idea and the realisation is also done perfectly
The story is fire))) good job
This is by far the most interesting take on that dino rush game from chrome! Both on presentation standpoint (making you legit feeling bad for no internet xD) and on gameplay innovation.
The true sequel to the chrome game!
Well done!
AMAZING
This is so creative, i love this game.
I really like your style, the cutscene was a really nice touch. Poor gecko. Had fun with this game.
Absolutely brilliant and an impressive amount of polish for 48 hours! I love the animated intro.
The memories!
Nice UI, I also like the fact it is the shadow of the gecko projected on the screen.
I do not possess the required coordination to play this game.
I also do not possess the brain capacity to even get this genius idea! Great job making one of the most iconic games more interesting.
Only complain is the hard lag at the first meteor, but that's probably just my potatoe laptop.
Interesting, nice how you used the shadow as game mechanic!
Wow you even managed an awesome intro cutscene, so polished! I love it :)
Super clever idea, great execution. I thought it was clever when I saw the thumbnail, but realizing there were meteors in the 3d world that I had to worry about really took it up a level. Poor gecko though.
The art style is so sweet! By far one the most creative mechanics I’ve seen, I love it. Gets quite hard quite fast tho, still, simply awesome!
Simple but inventive. This might be my favourite game of this jam!
This game is great! Love the animated intro at the start
My jaw dropped playing this
Man this is so cool how'd you even come up with this.
Its such a fun idea thats executed perfectly! I especially love the cutscene
Clever idea. Simple game but really fun to play. Love the cute gecko.
What a cool, creative idea! Pretty unforgiving though, I died multiple times on the very first jump (might be a skill issue) and once the comets start raining in I'm overwhelmed pretty quickly. 2D graphics are excellent, absolutely adore the intro cutscene. 3D graphics are okay, too. Overall, really well done, I can see why this is so high up in the popularity ranking!
