Objectives and mechanics

The objetive is to complete the level by making all dinos in it "happy". Every dino has two states, sad and happy. This is represented as a crying dino (sad) or a colored dino (happy). To make the dino happy it must be satisfied with a request (wich is shown if you hover the selector above the dino). Once all dinos complete its requests, the level is completed.

To swap dinos in the field, move the selector above the dino and press X, now it will be seleccted, wich means it will omve with the cursor. To deselect press X again.

Dinos

STEGOSAURUS

Stegosaurus needs to be adyacent to a cycad (green plant) and also avoid other Stegosaurus. So 2 Stegoraurus adyacent means 2 sad Stegosaurus even if cycad is arround.

T - REX

 Similar to Stegosaurus, he need a prey (any dino) adyacent, but T - Rex is a lone hunter so he avoids being adyacent to others T - Rex.

BRANCHIOSAURUS

Branciosaurus are simple, they like to be in herds of 4 minimum. So connect 4  or more of them to make them all happy.

VELOCIRAPTORS

Velociraptors use cycads for ambushes, so they need to have a cycad adyacent. But also they hunt preys. To make them happy just make sure there is at least one prey and one cycad adyacent.

GALLIMIMUS

Similar to Branchiosaurus, they travel in herds of 4. But they dont like predators, every Gallimimus must be predator free.

COMPSOGNATHUS

They dons like predators, so dont put one adyacent. But cycad let them hide, so predators cant see Compsognathus. To make them happy avoid predators, if it isnt possible, a cycad let them be adyacent to a predator because they hide in it.

EGG

Eggs are fragily, having a dino adyacent is dangerous. Dont let it happend.

PORTAL

Portals arent a dino but they can teleport one to the other portal in the field. However you cant leave a dino inside a portal, you must move the dino away to deselect it.
