The woundlings are so cute! I didn't notice how far I could move at first, so I was a little confused when one of my units stopped moving. A bit difficult considering the AI manages to hit me with all of their fire and move while my units had to breathe fire, move, then breathe fire. Solid game and effort in the given time, especially for a one man team, keep up the good work! :muscle:

Great graphics! Nice game! And better if there is a fast-forward button in enemy phase.

Once you get use to the controls they are surprisingly nice. Funny game!

Amazing game! The attention to detail on the dinosaurs is amazing and I loved the gameplay. There are a few quirks with the AI, but in a lot of cases, I felt that helped add to the strategy. It was really fun positioning my units in a way that that the enemy dinosaurs would run into the pits and it made large crowds much more manageable.

Lovely graphical style, and interesting little details hidden throughout the game! It took a little getting used to moving the little dinos around, but once I did it was a fun thing to play through :slight_smile:

This is really cute, and a really creative use of the theme! It took me a minute to get used to the controls, but once I did it was reasonably snappy and responsive. The little defeat animations are a nice bit of polish that really completes the package imo. Well done!

ok those wind up dinos are adorable!!!!
The AI was fine!

I would have liked an easier point and click control scheme and automatic commands, like other strategy games. But I would still like to have direct control of the dinosaurs, optionally.

Great entry! Thank you for making this

Oh man those little toy dinosaurs are adorable. Took me a little time to get into it, wasn't quite sure what was happening and the AI seemed a little tough but after a couple of minutes of gameplay things seemed to improve and I had some good fun. Overall great job! :D

Cute graphics, liked the toy battle feel, would have probably preferred a more traditional turn based strategy click to move/attack control system so you could go through the turns more quickly and so focus more on the strategy gameplay, although the first person camera lets you appreciate the models more. Trying to push the red toys into the holes was fun. Pretty wacky music.
Liked it.

Awww, so cute. And fun. Please continue to work - that game has a potential to be very successful title if done correctly. Good work.

Fresh and adorable. I like these turn-based battles (like Worms 3D, but more dynamic) and this toy style (do you remember Army Men game?)

Please add a hotseat option.

Here is my playtest (yes, I tried to exploit AI a bit):
