Soarus is a very cute and well designed single player / local multiplayer dino-racing game with incredible art and some funky controls 9/10.
So the controls are a little misleading - I seem to go at full speed when pressing both left AND right at the same time rather than alternating bewteen them.
Loved the art and character designs and level design - seeing this game come together on the dinojam discord was a treat!
What I'd love to see in future: Some ground particles for running and jumping. Another level and 4 dinos for 4 player support!
Dino Soar is a nifty alternative control scheme game that has some potential and amazing art and sound design! 7/10
This is game is fun - the sound design is juicy I LOVED the trombone slide entrance into each level! You did great to emulate that QWOP feeling, I always appreciate a well-made alternate control scheme.
Sad we can't play more! I got five stars on the fist two levels and was just itching to go further. The controls are decent for getting hang of, pressing space periodically to hold the egg takes the difficulty up to that next level - the fun kind!
My suggestion is that touching the floor shouldn't kill the players momentum entirely, less friction would help get around tight corners and slide off things easier for those micro-wing flaps if the goal was accuracy.
I could see a survival mode being made for this game where you have to reach a coin / target with decreasing periods of time!
Keep up the good work here!
THAT. WAS. AWESOME!! 10/10
Never thought I'd have so much fun on a pogo stick. You have to beat this game it is so worth it!
Controls simple and make you feel like a pogo stick god.
Objectives very do-able.
Hitting "Become Flight" was honestly so rewarding by itself but then the whole end sequence blew my mind.
You guys matched the theme of DINOJAM3 perfectly and did so much with so little - keep it up!
Rarwrbucks is the equivalent of a dinosaurs love letter to barista life. Brew WILD drinks and serve them to some PREHISTORIC hotties. Complete with lo-fi beats and sick hats! 9/10
Feedback:
For drink making - I was so overwhelmed the first 2 minutes trying to figure out where everything was, but you get into a rhythm pretty quickly after that, the barista station is well organized! Not too many options for different drinks.
For platforming / taking orders - I find the movement a little too floaty and unresponsive to work well for platforming, I tried Red Rex and it wasn't much better. I'd imagine a T-rex to have much better grip while moving.
Jumping/ ladders - I think the jump needs to go a little bit higher so that ladders aren't the best way to move vertically - think of ladders more as shortcuts to higher places rather than ideal paths.
Level Design - I think you could make the level a bit wider, add some seating areas on a bigger platforms! But keep the barista station central.
Accessibility - Your main menu settings and color choices and fonts were so good! This game is very readable and easy to get the hang of!
Characters - Loved the names and variety of NPC's - I know it's silly but pictures of the customer on order tickets might help a bit more than just name.
Soooo... I get to pick a hat too right?! (just a suggestion).
Great job on this, adding this to my personal collection to see what you guys come up with in future!
This game does well to fit the dinojam theme this year! I ended up having to mash my keyboard A LOT to win.
Great job integrating achievements - try adding some more SFX to give the player more feedback when they hit or miss the fly key. Impressed you managed to participate in a game jam on holiday, keep it up!
Dinosaur Aeronautical Space Association (DASA) is a fun ship building sim that quickly turns into a bullet hell and put's you in the shoes of engineer, pilot and victim of rocket science. 8/10!
My favorite part of this game is the soundtrack and of course building my own ship - mine looked like a heart!
Love the simplicity, great work with the audio levels and settings in the main menu. Finally I must say...this game would have been a flash-game banger in the 2000's!
Behemoth is a micro-game that feels like an epic adventure - which is incredible because all you do is collect apples! 7/10
Simple and easy to play! My favorite part was tripping over rocks because of how cute the animation / sound effect is.
Great job on the N64-style logo, that is dope!
Finally I must know - Who was that the end?! :O
Darwin's Ascent is a super neat, hand-made microgame that tickles your pixel art craving and makes you say "Weeeee"! 8/10!
So this game's art-style is a winner! It's cute, it's bright and I love it.
Great work on the simplicity of the narrative and game loop it's so simple anyone can pick it up and that ROCKS!
My favorited part about this game is the progression and for sure the first-time I hit a bomb, I chained like four in-a-row and was like "ANOTHER BOMB?! YEAH!" the whole time.
Last - your tech dev-log is a nice read and the real back-story for me! Great work on the rotation crate (rotating pixels is a common pain-in-the-butt). Your design and art skills combined are amazing, please keep it up.
Suggestion: Give Darwin a voice. Some cute dino feedback would suit this game perfectly!
