Cantrex by snick
Hi there!
This is my first ever submission to Ludum Dare. Took me a very long time to get started, fooled around with many ideas that just didn't feel fun to develop or to play.
After a while I decided to use Unity instead of my own framework just to get stuff done, also so that I could easily just export the builds to different platforms (hopefully the windows builds works, don't have access to windows to test it). Edit: The Windows builds seems to work.
Didn't really have time to make music or proper sound effects because of my late start.
"The more you have, the worse it is"
In this case is the more hunger the worse it is because then you'll starve obviously. I had to scrap many ideas that finally started to come to my mind during these final hours.
Gameplay
The game is pretty self explanatory, You're a T-Rex trying to survive for as long as possible.
Move around with A/D or the arrow keys and avoid bombs that are falling the sky and eat pigs to survive.
Learned a lot from this, will definitely be more prepared and make something more interesting for LD41!
Now I'm looking forward to try out your masterpieces :smile:

for the rest Good small game
I had enjoyed myself though. Seeing one of the pigs hit a missile was surprising. Congratulations on getting done in the reduced ammount of time. I used the full time and only finished with half an hour on the counter.
I assume it's frowned upon to update the games during the "play+rate games timer" so I might have to wait a while to do changes and fixes. But for anyone trying this game out, tell me all flaws (except for the obvious like no animations, music etc) so I can learn and maybe put up an updated version on this page after this has fully ended with the tips and suggestions from you all.
Nice game well done!
I liked the joke about dinosaur eating pigs tho :)
It could have been more challenging (the pigs are easy to eat butdo not fil you enough).
Hope to see you on future LDs :-)
