Dino Fate by Zettelkasten

Your time machine crashed, and now you are stuck with the dinosaurs who are about to be extinguished by a threatening asteroid! Try to save you and the dinosaurs and survive as long as possible by teaming up with the dinosaurs Greedy, Guac, Gizmo and Ganfred.
Rotate your thruster moving the earth with [A] and [D] and push forward with [W]. Pause the game using [SPACE]. After collecting enough space potatoes, feed new dinosaurs by clicking on the icons on the bottom and place them on planet earth. Placed astronauts as well as your engine can be further upgraded. Press [Shift] + [R] to reset the game (and try to find the [Shift] + [???] cheat combinations...).

Worthy of sharing with my friends, family, and co-workers!
My Setup:

My final score (1068):

Some audio feedback: Music should be louder! The 'wabba wabba' voices during dialog got a bit repetitive - could do for a set of 4-5 voice sounds that get randomly selected. Loved the sound effects, nice work!
Also the story is hilarious, love the humor and the fact that your main enemy is God

2. "Ba-ba-ba" the person who made this sound enjoyed it. He shared his fun with us! Music theme!
3. Good balance! + The explosion and lifting of objects are very felt.
4. The plot is funny. The characters were very satisfied :)
.
To be honest, I do not know what to find fault with. A funny little story and a funny little game. Whole, cheerful and very attractive :з
You guys are great!
The gameplay is quite simple at first, and then the tower defense elements add a lot of depth. You are always trying to survive long enough for the next upgrade, and the difficulty curve is really well done! The graphics were nice even if a bit unreadable after level 7 or 8.
Great job and thanks for the game I had fun 🦖🦕☄️
Here are a few nitpicks nevertheless: having to wait for the right moment to build/upgrade shield for them to be in the right position was a bit frustrating, I wish they would automatically take their position in the formation or something. The opening scene is great but it goes on for a bit too long imo. Once I got to a fully upgraded build with 5 lasers, 1 regen and 6 shields, at ~3000 points it felt like I was essentially invincible just standing still; not sure what the solution to that is though, maybe just a win condition? It could get a bit hard to read what exactly was going on at some points, maybe live, dangerous asteroids should look more different to debris?
But all of these things really didn't detract from my experience all that much. This is definitely the best game I've played this LD so far. Great job!
