These gosh darn dinos are in my neighborhood again!

Keep the population and happiness level balanced, or else everyone for no reason given dies. Kind of weird, isn't it?

Whatever, just... Here, take this wand, wave it around or something to make them go away!

Creator's comment: This game was pretty fun to make! Except the counter though, that can go screw itself.

The counter right now was never intended to be like this. It was supposed to remove population and happines points, but instead it just freezes. I then added a counter to make it so people have to survive that long and keep the count steady.

I absolutely loved the frantic music. The gameplay was funny, I had no idea what was going on but I kept shooting stuff, I loved it.

Why am I the largest one >~>
Is it me- or does it feel like, I'm invading a village on "tiny humans"-
Lilliput perhaps

I really didn't understand what I was doing, I didn't even know if i won or not. It took me back to the main menu. I also didn't understand the thing about sacrifices, is it that you must let dinos kill citizens ?
But I really liked the graphics tho

@vincent-blot You have to sacrifice the civilians to keep the score frozen for some seconds

I love that music. I makes me feel like there's something epic going on the screen, when all I'm doing is shooting dinosaurs ^^

With that said, i don't really get what I'm supposed to do, even though I've read the tutorial. From what I gathered, I'm supposed to kill the dinosaurs, but also the citizens to not keep them too numerous, but sparing some of them to not let the village die ? It's a bit tedious to do, espacialaly when you realize that no matter what, even if you only kill dinosaurs, your counter still decreases at an alarming rate. It would have been nice as well to add a visual effect to the wand, because the first times I shot with it I thought I was just missing my target or it was a bug. Anyway, good job regardless!

@quasar47 Yeah, not my proudest ludum dare game because it's pretty rushed and I also didn't have enough time left to add some stuff, haha
