DinoBone - Pirate Jam 16
Our submission for Pirate Jam 16. Play as a haunted dinosaur bone, possessing a hapless caveman and feeding on their life force through procedurally generated levels! Defend them from their fellow cavemen, who now see them as a mad wizard, while reclaiming your fellow dinos' bones from their hunters!
WASD - move
Space - melee attack
Mouse1 - throw self, as a light projectile
Mouse2 - throw caveman, as a heavy projectile (or pull them back if disconnected)
Try not to stay disconnected from the caveman for too long, or your energy will drain, ending the possession (and your run!)

Very fun roguelike. I really love the art and music. It's quite difficult but the controls are easy to get a handle on and the gameplay is so fun that I want to keep playing to overcome the difficulty.
Fun game - super hard! It had real NRGetic gameplay :)
It's challenging indeed, but fun right? Ahah
Thank you very much for playing the game☺️
The art in this game, and particularly on the menu, is unbelievably good 🤩 I love the depth effect with the leaves as the game starts... might have to take inspiration from that 🤔
Thank you very much for playing the game! Yeah, our artist and programmer did a really good job!
Really fun idea and concept! Took a while to get the caveman to regrab the bone, but once I did I had a blast!! Would've loved more energy or a tiny window where I could regrab after running off of energy, but that's just me being a sore loser haha
The art is lovely too!! the fx are really fun and the music made me think of a caveman saturday morning cartoon! great work :)
We are very happy that you enjoyed playing our game! We will work on the game after the jam, so stay tune :)
