Jurassic Justice: Miniature Mayhem


Synopsis

Get your revenge against humans leading your swarm of chomposaurus! Fueled by a burning rage against bigger creatures, follow the wrathful path of an angry tweetosaurus spreading chaos along its way. Fight bigger and stronger bosses, and make your way to the end of the universe!

Controls:

- Movement: Arrows/wasd/mouse
- Dash: spacebar/left click

Gameplay:

- Direct your chomposwarn towards eggs to make it grow bigger and bigger 🦖🦖🦖🦖
- Don't let lone chomposauruses behind or they'll be lost forever :cry:
- Get near the little human girl to exert your rightful revenge, but beware of her tantrums or you'll get smashed :boom:

Known Technical Issues:

- Sometimes chomposaurus left behind do not die as they are supposed to and still count as part of the swarm (you'll see no dinos but the counter won't be at 0), making both game-over or progress impossible. Though they might come back at some point, most of the time they will just get stuck someplace and stay there, out of reach

Loving the Jurassic Park vibes, its just really easy to lose a ton of compys because they wont move out of the way of the incoming attack

Very cute game! I like the graphics and mood of the game. And the mechanics are very interesting and intuitive!
Keep up the good work!

Preview gave: Failed to read the 'serviceWorker' property from 'Navigator': Service worker is disabled because the context is sandboxed and lacks the 'allow-same-origin' flag.

First link did not work for me, but the next one did!

Cute game! Kept me on my toes. My army jammed up waiting on the first car for a bit and I wasn't sure what to do. I loved that they chase the cursor bird.

Nice, cute art. I was trying to to use WASD, but my mouse cursor was in the window and it lead to be jumping around strangely. Took me a moment to figure out. Fits the theme well.

@telo-philippe Thanks for the heads up, looks like it works fine for firefox so we assumed it was OK.
We'll update it ASAP

Cool idea and Jurassic park theme. It's fun to control the swarm but tough to keep them alive. I couldn't figure out how to control the attack, but maybe that's part of the challenge.

Haha, that was fun. My "Fresh off the jam" brains weren't able to go super far, but it was really entertaining and the hand drawn graphics were really charming

A little bit of gameplay explanation would help a ton. I was a little confused and didn't know the girl was going to kill all my babies.

@josep-valls Thanks for your feedback, we just added a small gameplay paragraph in the game description

When I saw the tiny creatures theme I thought everyone would go for something where you are controlling a bunch of tiny creatures because who doesn't want to have hundreds of tiny creatures under your control. Surprisingly, this is the first one I've seen other than my own game. Love how it progressively zooms out as the scale of the horde grows.

Awesome game. It's pretty janky, but in a way that gives it a lot of charm. Reminds me of early 2000s flash games. I got to the space section and then all my dinos got left behind, but the game kept running. Anyway, great submission, felt like a full and complete game.

I love the vibes of this game, very cool and very fun

Neat idea. Love the little dinos.
It was too easy to lose the swarm as they refuse to move when they are queueing up to attack. Perhaps the sprint button could force affect the ones waiting to go back to their follow state.

Some of the obstacles were unclear that you couldn't get past, especially in the space section.
The long delay before they jump prevented me from realising you are supposed to collect the eggs at first, especially using the mouse input as the scrolling means you don't stop for long enough.
Sometimes dinos would get left behind but still counted as part of the pack so the game won't end. Usually after the second boss some would just arbitrarily run off.

Good job though. I enjoyed playing it.

@someone Thanks a lot for your thorough review! We'll add a Known Issues section in the description so that players know what to expect. Unfortunately I doubt we'll produce a post-jam version with the related fixes. We're glad you enjoyed the game nonetheless :)

I actually liked this - couldn't beat the boss because my little guys wouldn't stop attacking to leave the attack zones, but it was a fun little concept executed well enough.

The game is super goofy, and fighting a little girl with small dinosaur army is entertaining. I couldn't stop laughing while I am playing it! The obstacles in the space are not very clear, and I actually lost the game because I could decide where to go. The final boss did not have a hp bar like the other bosses. Maybe the bar is hidden under the display? Overall, the game is fun and you all did a wonderful job! Thanks for offering the game!

Everyone in my chat was wondering who this little girl was and how she hurt you rofl.
I LOVED the game! I gave it several tries, but in the end, the meteor (rocky girl head) killed all the dinosaurs for a second time. Very interesting and unique!
