I didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted to. I'm happy with the model and animation, but the gameplay is just running around a boring level... :( sorry!

Animation is pretty solid. and I kinda like the polygon-terrain, although I'm not sure whether that's on purpose :)
I've always seen this happen to 3d games... IMHO 3d assets take way too much time for such a short competition. I'd love to see you work on this game after LD. It could turn into something really solid!
You were wrong by saying you didn't have time do anything fun, I thought the game was pretty fun :D The flying pose of the bird was hilarious and especially when I ran around for a minute before realizing there isn't any other content in the game. I had a laugh, thanks for the game. :) Keep at it.
I really liked the movement, flying and animation, it's just too bad you didn't have time to really build a game around it! But thumbs up for the amazing effort, man! Keep it up and I'm sure you'll be able to do a lot more next time :D!
Didn't know raptors had such flexible legs haha! I agree with the others, I looks nice, too bad there's nothing more. I'd be curious to know what the original plan was.
I love dinosaurs and you made a great model with nice animations.
Don't take this the wrong way, but this probably should of resulted in a 'throw in the towel' blog post and not been submitted. If you had done something like scattering collectibles around the level with a timer and a simple game loop I could consider it a full entry.
Thanks for all the great comments. If I had more time (or come up with this sooner) I would have it where you have to eat enough to have energy to mate, and then find another microrapter to ensure that your DNA survives at least one more generation.

I don't like the mouse look, I think it would have been better if the camera were a bit more automatic. Also while the raptor is in flight, a little roll action would go a long way to making this game feel more organic. Other than that running and flying around was pretty enjoyable.

you should keep working on this.
I wish this had more, the flying was really satisfying.
I know the feeling of running out of time :)
great animation, espacially loved the jumping and flying.
I'm impressed, despite lacking gameplay
P.S. I think you should give my game another try. From your comment, you didn't seem to understand exactly how it works. ;)
