Once upon a time... a Raptor and a T-Rex

This is a narrative platformer where the entire contents of the game are on the starting screen. Platforms will move as you progress to show you the way. Follow the game to hear the story, or follow the story to get to the end of the game... but most of all, don't exit the screen! Or should you?

Hint: don't leave any platforms behind!

Interesting game, i could see this being a very neat story telling mechanic if it were to be expanded.

Good use of the theme. Why can I only vote for humor?

Very cool! The concept was quite original. Great work.

Love the storytelling setup. Nice use of voice, and the platforming was an interesting concept. I think you may have opted *in* to Humor instead of *out*, so I can't vote on anything else - the form changed from opt in to opt out at the last minute.

I really like this as a storytelling medium. It was really easy to get the little raptor stuck in a mid-jump animation, which seemed to inevitably lead to a platform glitch and him falling to his doom. Overall though, like the effort. Also, the raptor run animation was adorable.

Original concept. Nice game!!

Well done! Interesting narrative, and very cool mechanics with the moving platforms. However, the jumping and movement felt a little bit stiff. Otherwise, I had fun and enjoyed the ride.

This made me exceedingly sad. Good job on the very very touching short story and the game overall (it's very unforgiving though, if you jump over just one tile it's all over). Don't know what to say except: very well done.

Loved it :O
I really like storytelling games, and it really felt like I was playing a game made for my niece!
Congrats on this!

It was certainly unique, but we all know the t-rex would have eaten that raptor long ago. Anyhoo, interesting take on the theme and a different method of storytelling. Good job! (The inverse kinematic animation was a nice touch!)
