Reviews for "Rex: Origins"
Kwing responds:
Thanks! (Even though the dinosaur image is never used in gameplay other than on the tonic bottle.)
This is the kind of shit Newgrounds needs. It's creative, playable (to a certain extent, steering doesn't seem flexible enough) and made by a stable community member. Good job.
Kwing responds:
... Steering?
i luv ur song. we need more of this stuff on newgrounds
Kwing responds:
Thanks :D
Wonderfully simple. Quickly addictive to play- and the fact that you made this in 42 hours is borderline unbelievable. I would have liked a less-intrusive song, which would let me keep playing, but the song completely blends with the non-serious style of the game. It's a "quick" game with a great concept, not a feature-film movie.
That being said, I still appreciate this like a movie. I'll be showing this to my friends because of how quick and fun it is.
Awesome job!

To be fair, the ball engine was made beforehand, although that in and of itself only took me about 2 days. I took the liberty of using old code because it's not uncommon for Game Jam games to utilize old engines, and unlike most this was an engine I had written myself (unlike the infamous rigid bodies of Unity.) As it is, making the arm work correctly was the biggest technical difficulty for this game.
I thought about doing something more generic for a soundtrack, but part of me rapping was wanting to surprise people with a talent that other people at that jam didn't know I had. Aesthetics are so frequently ignored or simply taken from taken from royalty-free sources in this types of projects and I wanted to do something that was not only completely from scratch, but obviously so. Frame by frame animation and a vocal-only soundtrack was how I gave the game an organic, homemade feel.
Glad you liked the game and thanks for the feedback!
