If you liked this prototype and have ideas on how to improve it, feel free to comment bellow and we'll form a small team together. I have a few minor ideas for what to add (for example weapons, player upgrades, pets, or more enemies), but I need more time than was allocated for the jam. I'm especially looking for a 2D artist, a composer, and someone who could record and process sound effects. But any help is good!

Game jam

This game was created for Mini Jam 211.
The available time was 72 hours.
The main theme was dinosaurs, and the limitation was low on budget.

My interpretation of the theme:

A low budget doesn't mean an unfinished game. It can be polished but have a low production cost. That's why we maintained a high level of detail and squeezed the most out of the avaiable budget.

For example:

• I didn't use any paid assets and made all of them ourselves.
• I skipped creating music, which is probably not necessary in such a short browser demo.
• I've added only three enemies.
• I aimed for low quality graphics, but in a way that made it look nice, such as pixel art.
• I completely skipped the playtesting phase, so it could be funny if some mechanics are unbalanced huh.

There is also a changelog file with all version descriptions.

Feedback

Every opinion counts! If you've played the game, please leave a comment, report encountered bugs, or suggest anything you'd change or add. 
If you like the idea, follow it. I plan to release some minor updates/patches in the next few days.
