UPDATE: Get the (slightly) polished version
here.
-: GOAL :-
Lasso live dinosaurs and collect dino bones to reach the target earnings set by the difficulty level. When the money counter is green, you've reached your goal – so find the hole in the west cliff (with the arrow indicator) and escape before Gwangi finds YOU!
-: CONTROLS :-
ARROWS = move
Z = Use weapon
X = Select weapon
R = restart game
ESC = quit
F4 = screen size
I actually liked this a lot more than I expected. Not really Halloween-themed, but fast and hectic and pretty entertaining. A little difficult though.
I agree. I was skeptical about this at first because I didn't get the Halloween or horror vibe, but the fast-paced gameplay with a small margin for error certainly invoked a bit of fear, especially considering you had to start all over and had NO idea what some of the enemies would do at first.
Thanks guys! The original post about the comp said the game just had to have something to do with horror or terror, and since Gwangi stalks you constantly and you never know when he'll show up, it seemed to fall into the "terror" category. I didn't actually make it for the comp, but seemed like it'd at least stand out if I entered it.
Now available for download at Gamejolt. New version fixes Gwangi's "facing the wrong direction" bug, and a couple other little things.
