Prehistoric Gal

What a charming little game - very simple mini-metroidvania with nice level design and 8-bit cutesy graphics. It's not going to challenge you too much and might take only a couple of hours or so but it just feels so nice to play an old-skool platform / explorer without it being dead hard. Nothing original but fun, and certainly worth the money.

A very cute mini metroidvania with some Super Mario World mechanics thrown in.

You can change the difficulty if you like, but Normal is pretty breezy. I'd recommend this if it's your first metroidvania because it's a great stepping stone into the mechanics of this type of game. The death counter is just that. Dying doesn't put you back to a checkpoint far away; it just keeps track of how many times you die. I had a lot of fun and it's a short game, so you can finish in one sitting. Dinosaurs are awesome

I enjoyed this little game here. It is a side-scrolling metroidvania but one that is very easy. I finished it in about 3 hours. This would be a good introduction to newer game players. The music is solid and platforming is spot on. What is SP for? I never had to use it!

ESPAÑOL: De todos los juegos de LightUP que he probado dentro de este estilo, que podríamos considerar como un mini metroidvania, este es el más completo. La inclusión de los dinosaurios aporta un toque fresco que, sin duda, enriquecerá aún más los futuros títulos. Es una auténtica gozada montar un dinosaurio y disparar a los enemigos. Además, me encanta la mecánica que permite alcanzar lugares más altos al saltar desde el dinosaurio en movimiento. Creo que aprovechar estas nuevas dinámicas en el diseño de los mapas y secretos del juego contribuirá a mejorar la experiencia a largo plazo. La música es agradable y los gráficos mantienen la esencia de los títulos anteriores. Quizás el juego del samurái fue uno de mis favoritos, aunque no sabría decir exactamente por qué. Sin embargo, este, que me recuerda sutilmente a Wonder Boy o Adventure Island, me ha mantenido enganchado hasta completarlo por completo. ¡Muy buen trabajo, como siempre! Espero con ansias más juegos de este estilo. Gracias por tu esfuerzo. ENGLISH: Of all the LightUP games I've tried in this style, which we could consider a mini Metroidvania, this is the most complete. The inclusion of dinosaurs adds a fresh touch that will undoubtedly further enrich future titles. Riding a dinosaur and shooting enemies is an absolute joy. Additionally, I love the mechanic that allows you to reach higher places by jumping off the dinosaur while it's moving. I believe that incorporating these new dynamics into the game's maps and secrets will enhance the experience in the long run. The music is enjoyable, and the graphics maintain the essence of previous titles. Perhaps the samurai game was one of my favorites, though I couldn't say exactly why. However, this one, which subtly reminds me of Wonder Boy or Adventure Island, kept me hooked until I completed it entirely. Great job, as always! I eagerly await more games in this style. Thank you for your hard work.

Baby's first metroidvania, finished it 100% in 2 hours It's nice and simple, with a basic moveset that expands the more collectibles you find (some of which are optional, but still fun to use) The only frustrating thing is the momentum when jumping and attacking (which stops you), and turning around after landing a jump (you're unable to, which leaves you open to an attack from an enemy that you jumped over, and it'll happen a lot). Overall, it's a fun game to play and finish, perfect for a chill afternoon, although it really has no replayability. Still, it does well what it was supposed to do.

I typically do not like Metroidvania games, but when it is disguised as a charming and fun platforming adventure like this then I am sold!
