Prehistoric Dude
Unfortunately, Prehistoric Dude’s problems aren’t minor. Lots of annoyances add up to make this a small game that I disliked. It has a real need for additional polish.

- gameplay3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
Gameplay is hindered by occasional bugs in collision detection and unchangeable, poorly designed keyboard controls or unresponsive controller support. Additionally, the game offers limited content with only about two hours of playtime, which feels insufficient for its price.
“Typos all over. Regarding controls, you have to choose between terrible, unchangeable keyboard binds or unresponsive gameplay with a controller.”
“Poor gameplay design. Although the game is cheap and expected to be short, 2 hours of gameplay is still very little content for the price of 5 dollars.”
“The game is slightly buggy when it comes to collision detection but it doesn't affect your gameplay too much.”
