Triceratops, a poetic dinosaur quest.

A very mysterious mood, simple gameplay and nice music. Good work.

It looks interesting, but i had problem with jumping over obstacles. After reading comments I tried to fly :)

Reversed Limbo graphics! I must say I liked this style better, good job on style! Gameplay is a little bit repetitive but forgiven for the style. Well done.

This had a great mood going, but going back was almost impossible. And yeah, I flew over all the raptors xD
Get a bit repetitive and tedious later on. Great aesthetics, though. It could have been amazing with more features, but 3 day jam, so it's ok.

The world is ending but my triceratops couldn't care less - he's off flying to the stars! Your game has a nice eerie mood about it and the graphics are suitable.

I really like graphics. Your aerial sentence made me laugh. I though it was a glitch to fly so high ^^ Good start !

Nice game, pretty good music and graphics BUT there is a little problem: when you spam the jump key, you can fly !

amazing what a piece of music can do. It made the quest very melancholic.

The silhouet graphics work very well.
I'm not sure about using a physics engine for this type of platformer, but for the time you had, I may have been the right choice (I had a lot of trouble with my custom made platformer engine)

Beatiful art and charming music! Thank you for creating this game!)

Great look and music choice. Also loved that you embraced not having a "check if grounded" condition to jump properly (I made a similar thing, but yours is better).

But the legs, man. The legs freak me out! xD

Haha. Apart from that, cool entry.

Great atmosphere thanks to the music and graphics. Couldn't get past a few bits without cheating and flying however, and the attacks felt too slow so a small timing error could get you killed while waiting for the next attack.

I really liked your choice of graphics! The white outlines made a nice effect, just take a little more care to avoid floating objects.

The controls were iffy - I tried to beat the first raptor three times, and three times I failed. It is not very clear when the horn actually hits - maybe a sound signal, or making the hit window bigger, would help?

Thanks for the game, fellow dinosaur lover!

Thanks for theses comments! A small trick than can help you : just keep space pressed when a dinosaure try to eat you, the head's collider is bigger than the head but require you keep space pressed during the attack ;)

Moodwise, it's one of the best. Graphics and audio aren't that great on their own, but combined they create something mystical. Good one.

I was about to complain about the controls and some climbs being too steep until I noticed... very good.

Liked gfx a lot. Nice details and animations. Bit repetitive gameplay... but cool work still.

First time flying a triceratops. :)

Oh bugger, doesn't want to work under WINE. Looks like a reverse Limbo with triceratops. Totally alluring.
