This game is hilarious, love it!
The occasional lag on the WebGL build is frustrating (Got killed a couple of times because of it) But we all know WebGL sucks. Good job! Love the art style and that was very creative to use the shadow for scale!
oh this one's going in the video
Clever! Clever and cute! And fairly fun, too. I did have a couple of stutters, and the game ramps up in a really strange way (it's super easy and then feels like it hits max difficulty without much in between) but overall this is very cool!
love the face that you have to concentrate on the ground and the canvas at the same time. very polished game!
Super fun and challenging. Great soundtrack also!
Really fun game! I really liked the art style and the graphics, especially for the intro cutscene showing the backstory for the little gecko. The mixed use of avoiding obstacles in 2D and 3D was a really cool concept too! My only complaint is that the game really lags on the first playthrough but otherwise it's a solid game.

This is an amazing entry! When I started to play I was already invested into the game, but when the meteors started to fall... this game won over me.
Cutscene is hilarious
Great Ideia! Really simples and intuitive. Love it
The game is so cute and hyping and... You made a cinematic and all ???
That gives it a great vibe !
Wanna play it for hours.
Amazing spin on a classic game
Really cool idea! Mechanics are intuitive and really interesting.
The opening cutscene is great too, never thought Id feel bad for the no internet dino D:
WOW great art, and a super genius mechanic! Taking a simple game and adding so much depth just with that one mechanic, this is amazing
Simple, chaotic and amazing
Simple and fun! Really enjoyed it! props
Such a simple concept but so hard paying attention to everything being thrown at you. love it!
Cool gameplay to balance between focusing on the foreground and background!
Very well done. The shadow idea is great :)
