Frank the Dinosaur
Here’s my submission. This is my first compo, but I think you’ll like this. I have included WinXP and Debian binaries in the zip:

I had to forget about sound to get it in on time.

Hmm… It’s not finding the pictures when I use Wine. That would be a problem. I’ll post a new build when I get back to Windows.

i laughed many times at various points playing this. great humor. like the quick intro .. and surprise title change! The dino ‘suit’ is too damn cute as well as the little comments like ‘ frank loves his job’ was great.

Thanks! If you want to see the intro again, you can delete the ‘ranOnce’ file that appears in the directory.

Ha, Funny little game. Appartently shooting dinosaurs with a tranquilizer dart gun is all that it took to get my wife to play video games. If only I knew sooner…
