Definitely the best compo entry I've played so far!

I died on level 3 as well, although I didn't know you could stomp them.
d= =b thumbs up!

Many thanks, indeed!

we gots a winner, this was undoubtedly the most fun to play and the most sophisticated with its growing system. although the collision handling has its faults it doesn't ruin the fun at all and had no major weird stuff with it.

the animation, as others had already pointed out, is amazing. Is it skeletal? Really impressive. care to tell more?

Mm, it is skeletal.  Kinda.
It's the first time I've ever tried such a thing, and I had no reference for how to go about doing it... so I pieced it together.  It turned out alright, for the most part (I got the knees to bend properly and all that) but it ended up kinda messy.

The only problem I had with the game was the fact that for some reason the up arrow key wasn't making my dino backup and it seemed to me that sometimes it was pretty damn difficult to kick the archaeologists away before becoming overwhelmed.

I wish I had given a better description to this, 'cause it's a really useful technique, but while you're holding up, you can move back and forth without changing the direction you're facing.  Thus, you can back away from an enemy as your attacking him.  You just have to hold up and move.

[Rory]

Ohh...

Yes, that would be useful.

This is a really fun game! Thank you for making it.

Hi Fifth,

I'm quite impressed!
I saw a little bit gameplay in this Video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qepYJKMcEvo&eurl
I noticed the smooth animations immediately and I knew,
I have to test this,... NOW!

The whole idea and the gameplay are great and the animations
of the dino are smooth like molten chocolate!
In my opinion it has alot "Metal Slug"-charm.

And I think this game has potential.
Perfect for a portable console...

But i missed one thing,
no roar from the dinosaur,
that reduces the flair a little bit.

Anyhow a great game and I hope this
isn't the end of it. Wow, all the potential!

I broke my principles, I created an account at this site
only to gratulate you for this nice little game, but
it's worth

Greetings

I just died on the first gun level, which is really annoying by the way, because you cant see the people shooting at you. Maybe you should put some kind of really fast bullet bill type thing so you have a chance of dodging it? I have a triceratops crest, huge teeth, stubby tail, I'm fat, and I have curved spikes on my back. Awesome game, but needs a tiny bit of work for the glitchy feet thing.

...

UPDATE!
I just finished as a brown guy with huge teeth (still), stubby tail (still), I'm fat(still), rounded crest, rounded spines, I look angry.
I KILLED THE GUYS WIF GUNS! Body count 159
...

SEQUEL!

I played all the games (that would run on my computer) but failed to vote. But I thought I'd mention that I really, really enjoyed playing this one. It was the only one I felt compelled to play through to the end. Excellent work!

This is a super fun game, I'm glad it was bumped into view. In the later levels biting down on everybody was getting tough, so I found myself jumping around ridiculously to clear out droves by landing on them, then eating away any damage I took. I love games where the character grows, this was awesome.

I love games where the character grows, this was awesome.

Wait, there are others?

[Fifth]

Ho, snap!
Thanks Dacke, and letsap!  And everybody else I forgot to thank since last time...!

Hmm, maybe E.V.O.?  Depends on how literally you want to take the concept.

flOw?

Fable 2

Katamari Damacy. Maybe some shmups where you power-up your ship with turrets and drones etc. Er, Civilization?
This sounds like a compo idea. 

Also: Snake!
