Dinocide is a classic NES inspired old-school single-player platformer in a prehistoric fantasy world. The protagonist has to save his love interest who was kidnapped by an evil and mysterious Dinosaur God. You are accompanied by your own tame Dinosaurs, who acts as a mounts, brother in arms and a true friends. With their help, you can jump higher, run faster, swim, fly and do a lot more things that an ordinary primitive man would never be able to do by himself. To reach your goal, you will travel together through the lands inhabited by ancient creatures and unknown dangers. In a prehistoric world, man's best friend takes on a different, more reptilian form. To face the unknown dangers of a forgotten age, you'll need to pair up with one of these majestic mounts to save the love of your life from an evil dino-god.
