Available now in the Rewards Market.

Rewards are for our monthly supporters or people who donate to the project, as a thank-you for supporting us in these early stages! Visit our Rewards Market, create an account, and link your Patreon or support us through Stripe. Alternatively, you can make one-off donations to earn the relics used to claim rewards. Eventually, we'll also give cosmetic rewards that can be unlocked just by playing the game. These will take a little longer, however, as we first need to develop a progression/achievement system.

  • Dinosaurs show visible breath in the cold

  • New footprint textures

Gameplay
