Raptor Run
Help the raptor escape a facility by running, jumping and chomping the evil humans that are keeping you captive!
Thanks for playing! Make sure to leave your best time in the comments!
Controller Support?
Yes, the game can be played with a controller! I wasn't able to add this info into the game in time for the jam deadline - Sorry! If you're using an Xbox controller, here is the mapping (the mapping should mirror on other controllers as well):
About
This is my submission for the "My First Game Jam" game jam. The theme was "Free" and I decided to make a game about a dinosaur breaking out after being captured! While the raptor can chomp those humans with his mighty teeth, It's a good idea to lay low and make sure you get the drop on them or you'll be caught!

A stealth game, a stealth game! This was a fun one, for sure. The mechanics were introduced well and the variations on the room maps are definitely something I can imagine being expanded upon. (The last level was immensely satisfying, due to the more finicky jumping bits to avoid vision circles. It wouldn't have been as satisfying if I didn't have to work to get there, you know?) Compared to the great raptor sprite the humans look a little weird, but it made them stand out against the background. Great job!
I know, that human sprite will be one of the first things I update when I go in and expand the game. You know how it goes with these jams, only so much time! Thanks for playing!
Great job, enjoyed playing this. Played with keyboard. I like how you introduced the mechanics with the first few levels. Love the raptor sprite, think the vision circle of the humans could be improved - maybe a cone shape would make more sense? I like the crate mechanic but didn't feel like I needed to use it much in the current levels.
My first play through time was 2:33.
Thanks for playing! I plan to maybe expand this one in the future with more enemies types and I will probably change the way the line of sight works with them too. A few other people mentioned the crate issue as well, so I'll look into it!
You... made... a... stealth... game?!?
Seriously, great work for your first game. The Raptor is a great design. I think you should refine it with updated humans, more sounds and some other options in the menu: maybe a restart to reset the clock, arcade-style high scores or simple stuff like that. Great first effort!
I played this with a USB 8bitdo controller and it works perfectly FYI.
Ha, yes I did! I wanted to try my hand at making one that I thought was fun. Glad to hear the8bitdo worked with it!
I would love to jump back into it and add better looking humans, a variety of human types that do different things and a bunch of other little things. Thanks man!
Great work. I love the cute raptor and the sound effects. And I agree it had a very speedrun vibe, which was cool. Thought the humans could be a touch bigger, but otherwise awesome!
Thanks! I wanted some kind of small size difference between the raptor and the humans.
I also wanted to revisit the human sprite to make a more detailed one but I didn't have time during the jam. Maybe when/if I decide to expand it into a fuller game.
Cute little game, liked the look of the Raptor, but man do some of those guards have really bad eyesight. :)
🤣
Nice Work ! enjoyed the gameplay and the arts are simple and cute
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Really fun game. I liked that it had to timer and felt like I could speedrun the game.
I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing! ;)
