DINO BOMBING, what else to say?

My use of the theme is to let the player create his own (very unconventional) weapons, like a meat bomb, which is a piece of meat. And a bomb, too. Create your own bombs with triggers, effects and modifications and use their synergies to extinct dinosaurs, although they didn't do anything bad. But you crashed on their planet and your spaceship's computer registered that their bones can be used as fuel. Let's load the weapon systems!

>> Click on the bomb icons to open a menu where you can modify them! <<

Feel free to tell me how fast you reached the target. My best time was about 4:12 minutes (time in the game, ignoring the pauses while modifying bombs).

You can mute the music by pressing M. Chances are high that it won't run on your laptop (or lag). Don't produce too many dinosaurs, because your computer will explode then.

Requires .NET 4 and XNA 4 to run.

The art is nice, the sounds fit, and the story is funny, but I couldn't find any particular strategy. I just kept clicking randomly and alternating 1 & 2. After a few minutes of that, I saw that I made little progress and gave up... sorry. Am I missing something?

Yes, you can click on the bomb slots and modify bombs. The whole game is about that :D

Good game, took me a few minutes to understand it though.

You're right, it's not so much a shooter as an upgrade game. Much better. Rating upgraded. Thanks.
(And thanks for not just responding with "RTFM!")

This game is wonderful. I always love upgrade games, and this adds dinosaurs and a really cool weapon creation mechanism that I love. I actually have the game still running because i want to beat it, but I was worried I'd forget to say how much i liked this game. it's also beautiful

I beat it. it was really great trying all the cool effects and stuff. I like that it felt like i had a lot of choice in strategy

Pretty and goofy. A little mindless in how it plays - unless I missed something.

Did you checked out the bomb modification system by clicking on one of the bomb slots?

there is a lot of choice in strategy which made it pretty fun. it turns out i was just reading everything and spamming click though.

Was a little confused at what the goal was at first, but over all had a good time playing it, and loved the art.

Excellent, no element felt like it was short of what it needed to be, a very solid experience with polish. Enjoyed the screenshake, appreciated that the music alternated between on and off to prevent repetitiveness, loved the egggenerator and evolutionizer. ヽ(^。^)丿 The opening sequence was amusing too!

Interresting game, nice art.

This was great fun! I accidentally left the game running while I got dinner and came back 75 minutes later to a screen FULL of Dinos.

Carpet Bombing Scattering Meaty Eggenerators kept me amused for a good number of minutes.

It does get a little monotonous, and the audio bothered me a little bit (might be a personal thing, but the sound and music, while pleasant, got repetitive very quickly).

All in all, great work!

Awesome. I can't stop playing. Boom boom, feed, boon.

A lot of content you put into the game. The background theme, to kill dinosaurs to use thier bones as fuel is very creepy. But the game is fun to play and I really want more dino types.
