My first real LUDUM DARE!
Thanks to everyone for the awesome love and support that made this first LD so fun, inspirational, and an unforgettable experience!
One final note about DIONAUR JR. vs THE 1960's... Even though I consider this game complete, given more time I would have liked to create two additional levels, one where you, as the Dinosaur, kill JFK, and another where you stop the moon landing. Maybe if enough people really enjoy this I'll consider expanding it with some free dino dlc. :)

Haha, funny game. The style attracted me, beautiful psychedelic colors.
Too bad it's that short.
That was fun! I kept hitting enter though and missed the credits screen twice :(
OH MY GAWD WHAT JUST HAPPENED. This made me laugh I liked it, though the text screens gave me a headache :(
This was the game everyone was looking forward to playing.
Gameplay was fun, although the instructions were kind of hard to look at because of the colours.
Awesome color scheme and graphics, loved the sfx too, good job!
Must! Eat! Music! Legend!
"I have a big head... And little arms..." - T-Rex
Hahaha Nice game ! SO that's what you did with that funny dinosaur animation ;) Great work !
Well, it's definitely a unique concept! I really enjoyed the graphics, especially the color scheme. I would have liked it to be a bit longer though.
That was awesome on so many levels. How can you not love a game about a blue dinosaur noming on concentrated crowds of people.
Very fun game! It is a pity that the fun ends with a victory so quickly.
What a twist ending!
I spent a few minutes asking why this gust of wind wasn't letting me eat the stage, and I realized, I didn't eat enough patrons!
Fantastic colors and fun pixel art!
Perhaps adding a way to turn the dino around, or get the fans that are in the lower left corner of the stage would be good?
Truly gruesome! Great game!
That was a fun little game, altough i would have appreciated a windowed mode. The instructions were bit harsh for eyes on 24" monitor :)
I Did IT! We need more levels! :D Cool psychedelic 60's color palette. Good job.
ROFL! I wish I could give it more than 5 stars, that was hilarious! Great Job!
[spoiler]
Did I just Rainbowned Jimi Hendrix?
[/spoiler]
60's psychedelic timetravelling nonsense? I love it
One of best entries in here, definetely.
I would totally play other episodes to come (moon landing's one mostly)
P.S.: "OR PRESS ESC TO ADMIT DEFEAT"
NEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!
Haha I laughed out loud when the dinosaur shot his beam ^^
Sure it's only one level, but it's fun like that :)
Graphics and all are good too!
Pretty funny, and I do love squishing people as a T-Rex! Did fail it several times, cos the game says I've to eat Jimi, so I just ran to the stage and tried to eat him without realising there was a different goal.
Awesome idea, and the graphics are great. But it should have a challenge factor.
I failed a lot afted I tried to eat a lot of people, ha ha.
The ending twist is great.
Hendrix, I defeat you!!!!
So great but so short! I want more! I want to eat more rockstars and more audience!
Graphics: 5, it's a dinosaur!
Audio: 5, it's jimi!
Woah! This is an awesome fist entry! Love the graphics, love the twist! I laughed
Thank you everyone! :D
@davidwparker : I've been considering getting into something like flixel... more and more and I am thinking game maker might be a poor platform to spend more time on. :/
omg, yes! I don't think I ever lived until I experienced being a time-warping psychedelic t-rex! Thank you!
Hillarious setting and fell as you stomp through the crowd! When I found out how to finish the game, i was a bit confused though. Felt a bit random to me, but it suits the humorous tone i guess.
I would love to play this, the art looks ace! Maybe consider a Mac version?
@devi ever:
if you want to go on something more similar to game maker but with a web output(html5) go on "Construct 2" its a really good software.
Cool and psychedelic. The crowd simulation and the sounds are really cool. Also the graphics and the fonts. Really good work.
Hahaha ! This was completly psychedelic !
LSD TRex carnage !
Loved the crowd running away :)
DAMNIT! I'm a lowly Mac user and can't play this game - but it looks like the best game ever made ever. Do you have a video of it? Looks so freakin' cool. Plus... Dinosaur Jr!
Damn you psycho T-Rex, why don't you eat Jimi Hendrix once and for all?
Nice idea and realisation, but please think of the azerty keyboard users...
If you made a collection of 10-second challenges like this and put it on Steam, I'd pay upwards of a few euros for it. A few euros!
Such a great game! I had really fun playing this one! Just freaked out enough to make me really laugh!
Graphics are strange but set the mood perfectly.
Short and sweet. Playing this painted a big smile on my face from start to finish. Perfect graphics and audio. Also the most satisfying stomping and eating mechanic since Rampage! Excellent work!
A knew it would be awesome from the beginning) And I was right)
Oh my god oh my god oh my god what have I just played to D8
friggin cool, now add more lazers and screenshake and rocket launchers and shotguns and space and unknown dimensions and aliens and else ...
This is an awesome idea and graphics are delightfully bright and neony!
Haha that is so funny... I like this game... :) What about a next level, where dino has to eat the Rolling Stones :D
Heh, very cool game. I have no idea how I got the rainbow beams though. Graphical style is excellent.
This is very funny! For some reason it reminded me of McPixel (which is a great thing). Loved the nonsense feel, really feels like one of those old MTV crazy ads. I definitely think you should consider expanding it a little bit, at least so that it sums up to a 20 min experience or so. I would definitely play it! :D
Congratulations, really loved it!
Awww, this was great! The Hendrix music had me laughing :D Great graphics + play.
Awesome AWESOME scene, I forgot it was 2D for a little while! Wow!
And the CGA dinosaur, AMAZING! Top marks all around! You rock as hard as Mr Hendrix does
lmao that was hilarious, awesome job! It's a bit short though, could have used some more levels like you said, and it's quite easy to win... But the graphics were spot on, and I enjoyed it while it lasted. :P
Hey, I feel like I've known you for some time (some LD-Jams and stuff), but never knew about certain "details", like this : http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/devi-ever-s-fancy-new-vagina
So I guess I know nothing... that's okay, these LDs are about learning stuff... So, good luck on that INDIGOGO project, i whish you all the best!!! (Saw this in the game by ANANASBLAU, he seems like a nice guy with a beard...)
Anyway, what i wanted to say is : I didn't really get you game, but I guess that's just me, sound was cool, anyway... I always liked your music! :)
Liked the crazy art colors. Stomping around at the t-rex eating people was the fun part. Nice job for your first LD!
Nice pixel graphics, and the Mega Man warp in was a nice touch. At first I kept standing next to the stage and nothing would happen, but after a few tries I realized that you have to eat a certain number of people to trigger the "fatality" sequence.
I saw you work on this on Twitch!
A lot of fun for ten seconds.
Best god damn game. Love the trippy art! Also it has a dinosaur eating people. 5/5
Oh yes yes yes, very good! I'd love to see those extra levels you mention in you description.
Also, it's very cool seeing you here, I've been working on and off on a Disaster Fuzz clone (thanks a lot for sharing the schematics by the way).
Best of luck on your new creative endeavors!
Didn't realize how to win the first couple times, but I got it eventually!
After reading instructions I realized that.. Purple haze was in my brain :-D
Love the concept and graphics. The game crashed on my second play through though.
That was pretty funny, the ending was hilarious, like the most dramatic ending i've ever experienced. The colours worked well for the play style and it was entertaining with very little interruptions. Nice work.
Really short, but I loved it. The screen shake and the stompiness gave a pretty good feel to it. Nailed the whole being-a-psychadelic-rainbow-trex thing.
(I did notice the stompy screen shake still happens if you're eating and not moving. That I noticed this could be a sign I'm playing it too much, though.)
DINAS SHATIN RANBOWS OUT DEM MOUFZ. Hahah. Very nice work. Nice sounds, good graphics, all around a pretty good game. (Completely original take on the theme, too!)

Dinousaurs that should rainbow beams? =D
