Hi, this was my first Ludum Dare and I think I did alright. I made a little platformer in Unity3d and Blender for models. it's pretty simple, shouldn't take much explanation. well. here you go :)
Had fun playing it. Good use of theme and dinosaurs. The soundtrack was minimalist, but doesn't work looping it as long as you have to. Could have used more potato. GREAT WORK!!
A decent game. Hit detection works most of the time (couple of times the helmet enemy hit me through the helmet) and the controls work (would have liked up for jump though). Soundtrack could use a bit more, though.
Cute characters! I always appreciate a game involving dinosaurs. Love the big grin on the main character. :D The lighthearted tutorial instructions were a nice touch. The controls and physics felt pretty wonky though. Maybe try to speed up the movement or acceleration of the main character? I also didn't really get if I could jump on top of the helmet dudes as sometimes I took damage when landing on their heads, and sometimes I didn't. I also think I found a bug where I managed to respawn inside the big dinosaur after falling off the map. The music was a little repetitive and could use some further work. Other than those issues, great work for your first entry! Keep making games with cool characters! :)
Game controls well, and the jaws look menacing when they approach you... the rest of the game could use some tuning,specially the music... even pacman has longer loops!
Cute graphics - loved the big dino chasing you down. I reckon you should speed up the action a bit and pull the camera back perhaps. Well done - nice entry!
Music is perfect for the theme, and it synchronizes with animation XD. I discovered the loop changes at around 90 points, i couldn't get further, does it change again later? For smoother object movement you can turn on linear interpolation for rigid bodies. Character controller needs more work.

I think (perhaps this is just due to me getting old and losing my reflexes) but I'd like a bit more screen in front of the player so you have more time to react to oncoming dudes. Fun though!
Hey, cool game! Good job with the 3d modelling The music was kind of annoying.. i tried muting it but it started playing again after a while :/ But yeah.. your attempts at making music was still better than mine.. i gave that up, so kudos to you! :P

Also, that game over screen... D:<
