At first glance, the speed run level seems randomly generated, but after dying several times and failing, I found that the speed run was the same every time. One of the more modern features of the game is a speed run option. Which brings sort of a interesting tactical, decision making process to the game as well.
On top of this, the dinosaur mounts have unique skills, each one corresponds with a level type, for example, the fire based mount, which can spit fireballs, is immune to the lava, so if you miss a jump and land in the lava, you are fine. But be careful, if you die, you lose the tools. If you complete a level, the tools or mount you received from that level go into an inventory and at the start of every level you can choose to use, or not to use, one of the tools or mounts for the next level. Similarly, the dinosaur mounts can be found at certain points on the map, again, much like Super Mario Brothers and Yoshi.īut unlike those more classic games, the upgrades you get last until you get a new one, or die. Going from rocks to axes, to arrows to boomerangs. Luckily, there are tasty snacks in the form of floating fruits and meat along the way to essential heal you up.īut there are two other items you will find along your path. This bar also counts as a health bar in the more traditional sense and if you get hit by one of the creatures, you lose health, and ultimately, time to finish the level. If you are too slow, you starve to death and have to restart the level. At the top of the screen you have, what I can only describe as, a hunger bar. You spawn in a level that scrolls right, you get platforms to jump up on, pits to fall in, and a variety of creatures to throw your rocks at. To start off, all you have is the main character and what looks like rocks, or maybe they were coconuts. And while I didn't find any, there are secondary paths the player can take making this nice little gem of a game nonlinear.ĭinocide plays like a classic game, but comes with a few unique mechanics. Going through level after level, he travels across a large world map, picking up new tools and friendly dinosaur mounts, each with its own unique skills. Set in a prehistoric fantasy world, the protagonist, which doesn't seem to have a name, chases after his cavewoman who was lady napped by a mysterious, mountain like dinosaur “god”.
