A small game I made while on holiday in Austalia for Dino Jam 3! ๐Ÿฆ–
Theme: Learn to Fly

The only thing you need to graduate Pterodactyl School is the ability to fly. Do your best to fly across the finish line before you hit the ground. The faster you cross the finish line, the better your score!

Controls:
Numbers - Select level
Enter or Space - To return to the main menu
Up arrow - Open Trophy Menu
Escape - Turn music on / off
Alphabet - One letter that is randomily assigned will grant you the ability to fly

(Alternatively, you can use left click to select level and menu buttons).


Tools:

There is something strangely therapeutic about frantically trying to press every key on your keyboard while looking for the correct one. It started out in a controlled manner, just have to press A-B-C-D! Then the mashing began...

Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed playing this little button mashing game ๐Ÿ˜Š

Wonderful little game! The art is very cute, and I enjoy the gameplay! Great work!

Thank you so much for the kind words! โค๏ธ I really appreciate it ๐Ÿฆ•

good game but

how do you get the "everybody cries sometimes" and "ultimate replayer" achievement?

Thank you for playing! ๐Ÿฆ•

To get the Everybody Cries Sometimes trophy you need to lose at least once on every level and to get the Ultimate Replyer trophy you have to play each level 3 times each ๐Ÿ˜Š

This game does well to fit the dinojam theme this year! I ended up having to mash my keyboard A LOT to win.

Great job integrating achievements - try adding some more SFX to give the player more feedback when they hit or miss the fly key. Impressed you managed to participate in a game jam on holiday, keep it up!
