Atmospheric party game where player vote for actions of all characters.

Time is running out and the Jurassic time is ending. The last of the deinonychosaurs are running to safety. Seeking security from the crowd and copying one another. Players holds the power of hive mind by controlling all the dinosaurs at once. Voting for their desired action on either to keep their dinosaur alive, or to lead competitors to their end. One has to make it to the end so the species can survive. But who will it be? 

How to play:

Dinosaurs are running automatically. Players vote for the controls of either jump, dash or stop. Action that gets most votes, is executed. The level contains traps and pitfalls. By right timing of certain vote, players can ensure their survival and the death of their competitors. 

Players gain points from the distance they have traveled in relation to others. The one that gets to the goal gains points depending from how far did the first one die. If no one gets to the end, the one that died first is the winner and scores are based on how far did the last one die.
