A downloadable game for Windows

In Dino Evolution you play as dinosaur starting 252 million years ago. You need to eat and drink as well as  dodge or fight enemy dinosaurs to survive and grow stronger.

Can you get your way all through the three mesozoic eras?

For controls you only need WASD (and a mouse to click on buttons).

This game is a submission to 7DRL. It was in less than 7 days. Everything in the game is made entirely by myself with two exceptions:

1. a font: https://www.dafont.com/manaspace.font

2. a picture: https://www.istockphoto.com/de/foto/dinosaurier-gm534049679-56550000

I tried to apply basic concepts for my first roguelike, such as random level generation, ressource management, turn-based gameplay and permanent death.

Feedback is much appreciated!

Is there supposed to be a health bar? I'm using an ultra-widescreen monitor and I don't see one, and I can't figure out why I die sometimes when attacking.

Yes, there is a red health bar above the blue water bar and the green food bar. I didn't try how it works on ultra-wide. It's "optimized" for standard 16:9 monitors.

Your binary lists compatibility with Linux and Mac, but only includes a Windows executable.

Oh, sorry if the game doesn't run on your system. I built it as "PC, Linux, Mac Standalone" but if it doesn't work for Linux and Mac, I'll declare it as only Windows. Thanks for the hint! :)
