My first Ludum Dare. It is a very simple game. Features a dinosaur attempting to avoid extinction.

This is my first ludum dare game. Had almost no time to make it.

Despite the simplicity I found the game rather enjoyable. I'm not sure of this, but it felt like the game stopped getting harder after ~150 score in the sense that it felt like the number of meteors spawning at that point no longer increased. If that's the case I would increase that time or just have it get harder indefinitely. One other suggestion is maybe have the meteors start slower than they are now, and then increase in speed over time in addition to a high spawn rate.

Yeah I had only about 6 hours to make the game, but thanks for the feedback.

Something about this game feels great, I felt like I was the dinosaur trying to avoid distinction. Great job!

Very simple design concept that works well. Thanks for sharing!

I thought this game was awesome! It was really fun and simple! My only thing was I think that the game shouldn't end when you touch the meteor tail, just the meteor itself. But that's just me :D. (Ps. my highscore was 112)

The dinosaur was cute, and the ground texture looked nice. The theme came through in a humorous way. Sound effects would have made a huge difference.

Some good hitboxes here it is actually enjoyable to dodge meteorites!
Sound could be cool but you already made a lot for just 6 hours so it's ok.
Nice game!

Like others said, needs a bit of polish but not bad for 6 hours. The dino is very handsome.

Very nice if it's your first game in such short time. The little dino even has idle animation. Lovely.
