You are a dinosaur and you have a pretty cool restaurant, if you ask me.

The downloadable version is more stable that the web one. The web one is still very much the same, just one or two bugs here and there.

This game was submitted to the 'So Bad it's Good' Jam 2026, that's why the game looks so funky (and why I didn't have enough time to make the game even crazier!!)

Most of the gameplay consists of doing tasks. If you don't like it you can just skip it and see the story, but I really recommend playing through the whole game as intended for some REALLY COOL moments :> (Even with all the bonus I don't think the game is longer than 20 minutes)

You can play in the embedded version (just click the button on the page), but for a better experience I recommend downloading the game (only for windows sorry)

I may do a 'Polished' version with good design choices and new features after the end of the jam (and if people like the idea of the game!!)


The game is compatible with controller! (Represented by A/B/X/Y but also works with other controllers)

Move: WASD / Arrow Keys / Left Stick

Dash: Shift / C / [B]

Interact: Space / Z / [A]

Drop Item: Q / X / [X]

Open Map: M / [Y]

Fullscreen: F / [Select]

Pause: Esc / [Start]

Every sound used in the game has been recorded by me (is my own voice) and almost* every image is licenced CC0 or similar (which means Creative Commons, so I can use the images for commercial purposes without needing an attribution text)

*The only exceptions are the green dinosaur, which I took from the Tyrannosaurus page of a Fandom Dinosaur Wiki (https://dino.fandom.com/wiki/Tyrannosaurus), but I couldn't find a real author to name. A similar thing happens with the Windows XP Wallpaper, I just took it from wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bliss_%28photograph%29) but I don't really know how to attribute it. If any of these are a problem (especially for the game jam) I will change them as soon as possible.

Thank you for reading until the end!! :) Comment your experience with the game while you are at it!! <3
