no nice game about friendship ( in a weird your too small to be considered food kinda way couldn't you've made crunching sounds when a dog gets too close?
other than that it was great
Reviews for "Me and My Dinosaur"
I didn't enjoy it.
I want to love this game. I really do -- there is a lot of reasons why I /should/ love it, too: the art is attractive, the music doesn't make me want to rip off my ears after the hundredth repetition, the characters are engaging. But there's enough going on that's detracting from all that that I can't even bring myself to enjoy it, really.
Everyone talks about the glitches. Which, well, there are some. You're fixing those. But I think that the gameplay should be fixed, too -- pixel-precise jumping and exact timing really hasn't got a place in this kind of game. There have been at least five times where I have gotten so frustrated with this game that I have actually walked away from it. The moving platform thing is so frustrating. The collision detection is so touchy. The only reason I go back is because I want to know the story.
It's a great story, and I'm compelled to see the end of it, but that's the /only thing/ compelling me to play this game. I don't enjoy playing it -- it's hard to the point that it's just irritating. Were it one of those games where the gameplay /is/ the difficulty (the impossible games, a la IWBTG) it would be fine, but this is a platformer driven by its narrative. I don't think you'd lose anything if you toned down the difficulty a bit, because I am willing to forget seeing the ending if I am too frustrated at trying to cross a pit by inching on a platform that moves at a different speed than I do.
I feel like this is a rough draft. Like it's the very first version of the game, and it needs people getting pissed off at it for it to become what it /should,/ but there's a couple different directions in which you can take it. Just remember that the player has to /enjoy/ the game -- and I found I wasn't doing that.
Good, but flawed
The Scale puzzle is broken, Rex weighs as much as one of those rocks, but when he's on the scale it doesn't register the rock....Good up until then (The clipping could be better though)
Worst game I've ever played.
Realistically it wasn't the WORST game, but if I could blam it again, I would. Horribly aggravating controls, extremely clunky clipping, cheap graphics and game engine. I hope you atleast rolled the tech yourself otherwise this is horrid. Sorry, nice try though.
the story is so, so, so heartbreaking
I haven't cried like that since toy story 3
