Lost with Dinosaurs

About

Lost with Dinosaurs is a puzzle-based platformer where you play as a scientist lost in prehistoric times. Your mission is to collect specific mushrooms across 8 levels and find a way back to the present. Be cautious of hungry dinosaurs that will attack and steal your mushrooms, but you can shoot them down temporarily or use power-up potions for higher jumps. Your journey will also require you to collect and match color crystals to disable energy fields in order to progress. Good luck!
