Very cute game! Nice art and silly music! I think there was little incentive to stretch the maw, as it was easier to just let fruits pass by and safely collect others just by stretching your neck. The only times I took damage was when using my maw haha. Also not sure why you could get lower than the normal height as nothing came my way that was lower (Maybe stuff starts coming way later and I just didn't get to see any?). In any case, pretty nice game <3

Most adorable game I've played of the bunch. Noticed a couple of the patterns seemed impossible to grab, so might be worth giving a poke at the enemy spawning process if you want to really smooth the edges on this particular gem. Nice core gameplay loop overall.

That animation when you go down as low as you can go and your head scoots forward a little is the cutest thing I’m going to see for the next week.

That’s beautiful. Cute take on a classic puzzle. The art and music theme very well together!

The art is cute and the animations are well done, the dino walking animation looks great. 

I found myself only really taking damage when I'd use the spacebar to grow horizontally, it's very fast and easy to hold too long, so I just didn't use it much. Also, I think the game would benefit from being a time trial or having some other incentive to grab food quickly. Right now it seems that you can play very safely and go endlessly only getting the food that has no risk.

Overall though great job!

This is an adorable game! I love the idea of a dinosaur stretching his neck. Even though it appears simple, it does get quite challenging. Overall, well done!

This game was so cute, I loved it! A great take on the theme and the gameplay was great, it got challenging, I wanted to get every little fruit fly to make sure my boi was satiated. Great job!!
