The concept is straightforward and amazing at the same time, I enjoyed playing this one!
The art style is so cute!
really really good! Concept and art is just so clever and cute and fun :)
Simply amazing! 10/10
Such polish, really elevating the concept! Well done!
Such a cool concept, awesome spin on the og dino game as well. The mistreatment of the dinos is sad tho :(
Super beautiful art & well polished! I don't know why the shadow doesn't show up in my mac, so it's a shame that I couldn't play it properly. But the idea of scaling across 2D & 3D is amazing.
Thanks for the compliment :)
We're very sorry to hear you're encountering this issue. This problem can sometimes occur when using Brave, Chrome, or probably other Chromium-based browsers on a Mac. However, many users have reported that switching to Safari resolves the issue.
We'd appreciate it very much if you could give Safari a try and let us know if it helps to solve the problem. :)
Opening the game in Safari helped! Thanks for the reply, now I can enjoy the game properly:)
omg this is ridiculously good
I like how intuitive and easy it is! It's a great game design.
Wow! Cool idea, and it has a good looking!
Such a wonderfully creative idea within such a concise scope! I adore everything about this game.
Great game, love it! I am now filled with remorse for all the geckos I've killed.
This is a super novel idea for the theme, perfect scope and execution!
Loved the idea of using scale as the gecko shadow. Very creative :D
What an incredible concept!! I LOVE the 2D/3D aspect of this! Fantastic game!
The art style is so good, the game is so beautiful, and the start animation actually made me sad 😅
Good job on the game, very unique take on representing the theme.
This game is insanely creative. I suck so much at tracking both dinos at once.
And now I know. Fun game!
Very great game, it's so creative to use shadow like that!
Wow, very impressive! Love the take on the theme! Not much to add that hasn't been said before.
