Fun game plus i like that you have to move contantly and the floor is getting destroyed managed to last 50 seconds but adding a jump could also be helpful.

107 seconds for a score of 2490 :) I'm happy. Simple but engaging gameplay.

I really enjoyed that. Hilarious concept! The frenetic feel as the pacing gets more extreme was perfect. My main piece of constrictive feedback is that the game didn't work in WebGl fullscreen, and I kept clicking off the edge of the game in the window causing it to pause.

Is that how it all happened?! This explains the existence of chickens...

Great game, I wanted to get past 2 minutes to see if the shooting speed increases even more, I thought this was a great game design choice.

Fun music as well as art.

Congratulations!

removing the floor is a nice idea but jumping would be nice if there is no floor ^^

A lot of fun! I think sometimes i need some more obvious warnings for standing for too long cause i keep watching the upper part of the screen ignoring anything under my feet. Sometimes i even fall into the lava unconsciously. Besides, i think a space button for jumping would be great. Congratulations!

For an arcade-y style high score game, I had a lot of fun playing it! I'm biased towards this kind of game. Pixel art graphics look like it could be one of those old SNES games which is great. Controls were smooth and I liked how the movement was implemented, doesn't feel janky. The chiptune style audio also fits the game pretty well~ and I like how the theme was interpreted to be the end of the dinosaur age haha. Overall pretty enjoyable experience

Cute game. The dinosaur and his blaster are adorable. The sound effects and catchy background music were great. The gameplay felt good and the difficulty slowly ramped up nicely.

The tutorial screen at the beginning mentions not standing in one place too long or else the island will sink, but I stood in one place the whole time and it didn't seem to affect anything. Also, if you're going to iterate on this further, you could try adding some meteors that come down at an angle towards the island, instead of them all coming straight down. It could potentially make the shots and running around the island trickier.

Overall a great jam game! Lots of fun to play!

The music fits the game well, the art is cute, and the game matches the theme perfectly.

The gameplay is engaging, and it ramps up smoothly; though, I would like to see more depth to it.
