The tinysaurs are in danger! Collect the eggs to save them.

Only tested in latest stable Mac Chrome. On monday I quickly tested on Windows and found that there are lots of issues with the sounds. That's what you get when developing locally with about 0 latency and load times for any assets and no tests. A little too busy at the moment, but I'll try to fix the sounds this week.
Buzzwords, tags, tools etc.: CoffeeScript, JavaScript, Canvas, HTML5, MacVim, Acorn, Bfxr, Picle and some other stuff.
It works fine for me on Chrome, but yeah the sound is broken. It sounds like a sound effect is playing over and over again, over itself. It gets cacophonous really quickly.
But I actually thought the gameplay was kind of cute. The challenge level is just about right, and it wasn't very frustrating to die. I would have been happy to play a few more screens if you'd put them in. Not bad.
LOL at the ending. Cute little game! You should keep doing more levels, right now it's kind of short! I liked how you have to be precise on each jump, that added some challenge. I'm using Opera, works great, but no sound at all.
I got all the eggs, but there was a glitch in the last level where you walk under a floating block and just fall in the lava. I too got the sound bug on windows vista-google chrome. On IE it didnt work at all.
[Comments and ratings from this account come from various team members] This was a well executed game with a few bugs that are understandable given the nature of Ludum Dare. I hope you can create a polished version with additional content, the game didn't quite stand up on the second play through.
Too bad about the sound, but yeah, that's the life of an HTML5 dev :P (I made my entry in HTML5 as well) But everything else seems to work pretty well and it's a decent little game. Thanks for making it!
The audio is super buggy, but I thought that led to an amusing urgency. I think the dinosaur's physics are a bit off-feeling (jumps and falls too fast). I got all the eggs though and had fun!

I thought it was a great concept! Very smooth gameplay.
Unfortunately like mentioned sound in chrome is pretty broken.
