A jumping mechanic for the dinosaur could do two things for your game:
1. Make the people easier to avoid.
2. If you fail a jump, this will be more brutal than just walking over the people.
As you playtest it and receive feedback you will get your own magic formula to make it more fun. Good job1 :wink:
I didn't mind the floaty controls or large hitbox on the dinosaur. I felt like it actually kind of helped make the dinosaur feel like a big, clumsy creature.
I found myself wanting a little more depth to the game. Maybe the city could have different districts, with different rates of pedestrians/cars? A little bit of variety would help a lot.
- The game is impossibly hard! It goes for too long and it's too hard to avoid cars and people.
- Even if you could avoid everything, it would be a bit boring to just do the same thing for 5 minutes or so? Making it start easy and adding more variety would be useful
- The parallax effect is backward (buildings at the back should be smaller and move faster)
I'd recommend getting someone to play your game during the competition, and they might be able to help you find some of the difficulty issues.
I managed to win though by going in the air somehow :P
The hitbox of the dino is a little bit to large imo
Good game !
I had some problems on Kongregate, the arrow key controls would scroll the browser window, so the game moved up and down as well as the dinosaur!
Groovy beat and funny SFX!
