Really funny game. I think the bullets could be bigger to get better visual effect.
Great job! Really liked the idea and very fun to play. Good graphics too!
OK, this was hilarious! I enjoyed my dino-hoverboarding session immensely. You caught the theme spot on, only one powerup :D My favorite was the shield because I lasted longerst with it. The lasers could have been bigger though.
As a dinosaur fan I loved the rawr! Nice dinosaur! Too easy to die.
OMG is that a laser dino? Yes it is a laser dino! This game is great
Graphics are awesome! But I found that the multi-shot bullet is quite hard to recognize.
Thanks everyone for the comments! A lot of people are asking for the lasers to be bigger and more visible. That is a great idea, I will make sure to put it on the next version of the game :-)
Mega Beeeeam! The contrast of the game is bad for bullet recognizing, otherwise fun little game.
Hemuuuli: Thanks, you're right. I will work on the background colors too!
Dinosaurs > Check
Lasers > Check
Zeppelins > Check
Fun game, had a bit trouble seeing the enemy bullets as they are a bit small.
This is a funny game. :) I liked so much the graphics and sound.
I like the nice graphics, the great sound effects, especially the rawr, and the options in the game menu. Your game has everything that's needed, except a boss fight. Great game!
Nice one. And full of doubleclick-awesomeness :D
I also think that the bullets should be bigger.
Most of the time I got killed was because enemy bullets are not easily visible. Making them bigger or using different distinct color would be really helpful. Music and gameplay are ok though.
Haha funny, I made a game with dinosaure too but not the same way ^^
Retro goodness! I dominated with the multi-shot! I wish that enemy bullets were easier to see. When I start to think of constructive criticisms, I have to remember one guy did all of it!! Then it's super impressive!
Fun stuff!
Those grey bullets are hard to you see against the background...
SICK music! A shocking number of people didn't have any music, so a groove this fine was very welcome.
Fun to play too...but the MUSIC. :)
That was a nice game. Playing easy indeed was a bit too easy.
I like the dinosaur roar at the beginning.
Nice graphics too.
I played on Android and your finger sometimes gets in your view. Good thing you changed that.
Hola, we finally found some time to make a Linux build, if you want to try it out, you're welcome !
The game works on Linux. Cute game! The mega beam was the easiest, because you need so many shots to kill most enemies with the other weapons. The controls are jittery, the dinosaur wouldn't always stay in one place or go where I wanted.
RAWR!
Really fun game! It's a shooter with a rocket-hoverboard-riding dinosaur... how wouldn't it be? :)
It's kinda difficult to see the bullet shoot horizontally by the ground units.
Also, why would anyone want a weapon besides the MEGA BEAM? XD
(Just kidding, nice weapons! But my favorite will always be the gigantic laser!!)

TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
Wow very hectic! I like the weapon options cool
