Here’s some of the friends you’ll make in my wholesome dinosaur game. What do you think? Any other dinosaurs I should add? Going for a late-Cretaceous ish vibe.

Messing around with adding a little hat store. The idea is to exchange secret golden dragonflies in each level for a random hat, gachapon style (but no duplicates). I need to add many hats still, and animations haha

Everything’s better with hats! Made this lil witchy hat for my game 🧙♀️ The idea is to make these unlockable after getting enough secret collectables hidden in each level. What hat should I add next?

Thought it’d be fun to try playing my game Dino Cleanup on a CRT since I’m going for a retro aesthetic. It’s kinda hard to capture the magic of the CRT but I hope some of it comes through in this video! 🦖 🧼 📺
