This is a work in progress! I'll share updates they develop.

Welcome to a procedurally generated ASCII island in the Jurassic time period where a full ecosystem of dinosaurs roam. You start out tiny and weak and must learn through careful observation and instincts which dinosaurs you can eat to grow stronger and evolve, and which ones will eat you, ending your run. Become the biggest most powerful dinosaur on the island before the volcano destroys it all to win!

Following on the successful experiment  of using an old-school ASCII roguelike engine in a very non-traditional way in Edge of Known Space, I am continuing to explore new ways to stretch the same engine (rot.js) in new unexpected ways.

Progress so far:

  • generates an island
  • slowly destroys it with lava 
  • simple dinosaurs chase and eat each other and you
  • you can chase and eat other dinosaurs

To play:

Use "p" to zoom in/out and arrow keys to pan around.

If the game starts and you cant move (because you are in lava or the ocean) just reload.
