Isle of Dinosaurs 2D or IOD is a classic action maze game with retro pixel art graphics featuring two playable characters, co-op gameplay and dinosaurs developed by a single indie developer. Hi! My name is Gali and I am the game designer for Isle of Dinosaurs 2d. I will be your host for the entire development period of the game and also will be available for post-release support and modding. Before going into details about IOD, you might want to check the game's development history so far:

On gameplay

Gameplay is work in progress. So far I played with gameplay concepts like: bomberman, maze, dungeon, mini-dota, tower defense, obbie and many other variations. At the moment there are two playable characters: Kil and Mil There will be at least 10 dinosaurs bosses to beat and 10 minions corresponding to each dinosaur type. So far I have tested single player and split screen, one player with Kil and other with Mil. The following characters will be included in the first demo release.
