This was our first ludum dare! It was a bit tight on time to make a game of this scope with the time limit but we hope you will enjoy it :)

Controls:

  •  WASD: Move
  • Left Click: Throw cookie / select tamed minisaur

Tips:

  • Wild minisaurs run away from you. Throw cookies to attract them and speed them up.
  • Minisaur followers provide stat bonuses to movement speed, stamina, and cookie count. There is no limit to how many minisaur followers you have!
  • Train tamed minisaurs at home when they request an interaction. This can be playing ball, feeding a treat, or petting them.

Future/If more time:

  • Biomes with specific minisaur types
  • Minisaur active abilities

This is really adorable and a great job for just 72 hours! I had a lot of fun taming the dinos and petting them afterwards :)

So much depth in this game! I love the art, I love all the interactions with my tamed pets, and I liked the mechanic of taming pets. The ability to play, pet, and feed your tamed pets makes the game so much more fun and has me constantly coming back to check on them!
