Cave of Dinosaurs by AtkinsSJ
EDIT: Thanks for the comments everyone! Yeah, I know the game gets dull - I'd originally planned to have actual levels, then just bunged in a random generator, which limited things. I had wanted to have puzzles involving dropping rocks, such as building stairs, and activating switches, but I didn't have time in the end. If I get around to it, I'd like to do a nicer version, with proper levels, more stuff, and maybe a better random level as well.
Oh, and a fix for the awful collision-checking with the ground. It is fail. :P
----------------------------------------------------
You, archaeologist Ted Stuart (because archaeologists are always action heroes, for some reason) have wandered aimlessly into a cave that has laid undisturbed for millennia. Well, or so you think. It's actually been disturbed rather frequently by all the dinosaurs living down there.
Living dinosaurs would make your job a waste of time, and so to preserve the livelihood of archaeologists everywhere, you seek to destroy them all! However, your puny gun is no match for their unusually tough skin! Your only hope is that you can shoot down loose rocks from the ceiling to bonk the dinosaurs on the head with. Only then can you remain safely employed in these harsh economic times.
CONTROLS
========
A/D or Left/Right: Move
W or Up: Jump
Left mouse button: Fire bullets!
Shoot down bits of cave to kill dinosaurs, without getting hit by either.
You get points for distance and dino-killing. Your high score since opening the game is on the menu.
Enjoy!
