My experience was difficult as first as I struggled very hard to lure in dinosaurs with treats but once I figured out a strategy to push them into my area by chasing them in the right direction is was much easier.

You did a great job! It's a cozy little game, and I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere is fantastic, especially for dino lovers. I did run into one issue \u2013 I had a dinosaur get stuck in a fence on the wilderness side, and it wouldn\u2019t move, even though I was literally riding it. I loved the petting mechanic, but I still couldn\u2019t figure out how to play ball. I tried throwing it to the dinos but couldn\u2019t quite make it work, although I did manage to score several times in the wilderness.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1092844,"author_name":"rkhadder","author_uid":"rkhadder","epoch":1728409310,"text":"So much depth in this game!

Taming the dinos and bringing them back to the enclosure was fun and challenging at times, and being able to pet them and play with them after was a great added bonus. My only feedback for the current scope would be to make the sides of the fence a little more visible, because I wasn't sure if I can walk through them at first.
