So much fun! I was playing this instead of working on my own game today. :)
Really nice, and the dinosaurs are adorable. Good sound, too.
I love the retro feel of this game with the graphics and sound. The tension in the game is perfect :)
Feels great to play. I love the sound track and the sprites are nice.
Loads of fun with a Flappy Bird style addiction factor. I loved the music and the little comments after you get caught. I played it for a long time but won't say my top score because it's embarrassing! :D
An excellent, polished entry.
@mrwillowb - source is up. sorry about that. i uploaded game and went to bed after a 24 session :) I took the time to comment the source pretty well for those that care.
@MerlijnVH. @RegularSlinky, @mike_71Squared - thanks for hanging out in the Steam guys. Got me through the dark times :)
Well done George, your game is really good. I like that the background and the music change, its a nice touch. You came up with a simple idea and then took it that extra mile. Well done sir, well done!
This is lovely! the snap-back-to-middle-movement is fun, as are the double-dinos. I get a "survive together" vibe from this, but sometimes it feels like a extra-life ;P
Alos nice tough to have several level-backgrounds, makes this much less repetitive
Pretty simple, but quite polished for what it is.
Graphics are excellent, sounds are nice.
I like how the dinos move smoothly back and forth, and the fact that you have 2 of them is a nice touch.
I usually try to come up with some (constructive) criticism in my comments, but this game has quite a narrow scope and is very polished as I said, so I'm finding it difficult.
Having to move my hand back to the mouse to restart and then to the arrows again is kind of a drag I guess? But it's not really a huge thing.
@Steve You can press space to restart, too. Just didn't want to clutter the screen with tips. In the end, it also should have been a 1 press to restart, vs 2, but my menu code is a mess and ran out of time. Thanks for playing.
Really cute entry, and the gameplay is *super* smooth. Makes up for how deceivingly difficult it is ;)
So fun! Great job George, loved it :) Really cool mechanic with multiple dinosaurs
I would have really liked it if when you have to triceratops they couldn't fit on the same side of some obstacles so you had to push both left and right to split them up.
A solid game. Great job
A really fun and well polished little game! I really like the dino animations and that you get two points while you have two dinos. And the helicopter flyby was a nice touch. :)
I guess that "Your days or playing with..." probably should be "...of playing...". :)
My best score so far is 38.
Well done! :)
This game is giving me anxiety! Haha I was so jumpy while playing because the obstacles came so fast.
I appreciate all the work that went into the polish that people don't always realize - bouncy graphics, tweens, etc. It was a simple concept but executed in a really clean way. I also liked the dino sprites!
Nice game- Very polished and played very smoothly. I liked the graphics as werll.
The idea of loosing a dinosaur if you hit something, and that it affects the score is awesome. It was slightly addictive, and I might play it again :P
Good job!
Thanks for the Linux build! Game was fun, I liked the changing music.
~funkeh
@Chikun: Cool. Glad the Linux build worked. Will do it from now on. Literally takes 2 mins start to finish. Everyone in Unity should do it.
Really well executed - great control feel and super addictive. The double dinos and auto-centering are very nice touches. Great work George!
Nicely polished, loved the graphics, frustrating in a very flappy bird way! Surprised to read that you stayed up another 10 hours after you stopped streaming, you sounded well tired when you logged off, that's dedication!
Excellent game ! Very challenging. Do you plan to release a mobile version ?
Really great, polished entry. I presume this will be landing on mobile at some point. My best score is 32 so far, but I reckon I'll be returning to this later.
Really nice game, snappy movement and good sound. My top was 31. I liked the randomised elements!
Took me a while to realise why you had two 'till I clipped an edge - interesting take :p Best was only 40 though. Surprisingly difficult little runner!
Nice, I like the random level variety and how losing one of them makes the difficulty kind of self-balancing. & +1 for "life finds a way" :D
Nice execution, overall a nice and clean game with good polish. I found the controls a bit weird at first though, but with time it's get better.
Nice job!
Wow, you clearly gained a few levels in pixel art, well done! I liked a lot the scoring system with 1-2 dinos, very good idea :)
I think would have prefered a control scheme without the "auto-center" thing.
My best score is 18, I totally suck at reflex games!
Excellent job! Everything here felt quite polished. I expect to see this on the app store soon! Also, reading your postmortem was a nice experience, thanks for writing all that up!
The 2-dino mechanic really makes this stick out over other games this type. Works very well.
Really great game. I enjoy the triceratops hitting the wall animation very much
Cracking good pixel art and a fun game. Definitely has the one more go factor, and as I'm typing this my wife is asking, no DEMANDING even, another go. As I value my life, I....
Very nicely done. I like how the dinos return to center. The connection to the theme is clever :)
Really great presentation overall.
Excellent job overall although the theme felt a little forced. Extremely fun although not too innovative.
Classic gameplay , fun and well polished, controls are really pleasent. Not so innovating at all.
Very nice game ! I'm very impressed by the finition detail and the polishing, they are impeccable.
Fun and simple. Great art & animation. Fun concept. Would be perfect for mobile (which I think you already know :) ) I like how there are two dinos, so you have a second chance! Solid entry!
I want this on my phone! :D such an addictive game, keeps me playing for longer than I anticipated. Great work!
I like it, and I kept playing again to try and beat my highscore. You should make this available for android, I would install it!
Simple to understand, easy to play, difficult to master. I like it. :)
Nice game, George. I need this on my phone haha. BTW, it works on Linux!
Short, fun and a little addictive. The polish does a whole lot for it - even though I should feel bad I can't help but smile each time I accidentally bump into an obstacle pretty much right at the start and my companion goes flying.
Fun little game, love the dino hit reactions and addictive difficult gameplay. Maybe it makes more sense if you get further but I don't quite get the connection to the theme.
Nice game! Very polished. More fun than a barrel of monkeys. Got 50 points.
Good fun and well polished! The only gripe I have, is the sound of passing a wall. It got really annoying. Otherwise it was good, simple fun that might work well on mobile! Well done!
Joona @MooseflyGames
That's a really clever take on the infinite runner genre. The fact that you score double with both dinosaurs makes it really interesting. If it'd hit the Playstore/AppStore I'm sure it'd reach its audience!
I am not sure there is a link to the theme (unless there is a victory screen? I totally suck at those games and couldn't get more than 20)
The way you allow the player to have one "extra life" with the second dino is really clever.
Very polished, I could see this being a success on a mobile platform. (confirmed working on linux mint, 64 bit)
Nice, got me hooked haha! At first I thought it moved a bit fast, but I actually think you got the difficulty perfect. Oh and the sound effects drive my dog crazy xD
Very well made, clean, polished and handy. Impressive 48h entry. Love the simple idea that if both dino are alive you gain double points.
Clever idea to use double rhinos. Gfx feels good. Controls feel good (I like how it resets to center). I don't feel the theme. Too easy game for this genre.
Good enough to further develop it. Good job!
My best score is 40. Very stressfull scrolling speed at the end. Good polished game.
Very clean graphics! Like the game Dextris, very fun! Good job!
This was really addictive and fun! Great audio and sounds/music as well. Really good job!
Fun little game. Simple and challenging but I feel the theme was not very present in the core of the game,
A great entry, really simple and addictive gameplay with well made sound and graphics. It's also probably the most polished entry I've played so far - it doesn't look like it was made in two days! Well done! :)
@AlexDJones: Thanks! The simplicity is what led to it being able to be done in 2 days with polish :)
Such a lovely POLISHED entry. So slick and smooth and playable. Fantastic job. Really impressive.
The auto-generated music is not so good, but the game itself is great. I really like the idea of having the 2 dinos scoring 2x points. It reminds me of flappy bird, but on the ground and with some cool gameplay additions. Well done.
Cool graphics, it has a style that hangs together really well. I think it was an inspired decision to use the 2 dinosaurs to allow for essentially a second life. Very nice polished little game
Super cute game, well done. I included it in part 24 of my Ludum Dare 30 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) http://youtu.be/3RN80xyak-c

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.
Clean, polished and fun! My best is 57 so far, love that you still have another shot if you hit something, in the form of the dinosaur left behind. It just plays so smooth.
