Off-Road Velociraptor Safari, the greatest game evar, is now out. The game is a free to play and all you need to do is download a browser plugin. After that, you can create an account which will give you access to the leaderboards, stats and keep track of your hilarious achievements. Or you can just go in as a guest and get right into the action.
Off-Road Velociraptor Safari is about a Velociraptor that drives a Jeep on his quest to kill other Velociraptors and ship them off to Num-Num coporations, which will make tasty treats out of the raptors.
Hit the jump for the basics on gameplay and my impressions of the game. Or just go right on over to jump into the action.
The gameplay is very smple. Your Jeep is equipped with a radar system, unlimited boost and an unlimited supply of a giant chain with a spike on it. Each game only lasts five minutes and you start off in different parts of the map every time. Scoring involves doing jumps, tricks, collecting Artifacts, shipping off Num-Nums crates and of course, killing and shipping off Velociraptors.
I really love the game. It's so simple and quirky that it's hard not to love it. The controls are pretty simple, but it does get frustrating at times. The slow motion gets old and frustrating after awhile. There is some lagging issue too when I would try to catch three raptors at once.
Overall, for an eight week long project, it's mighty impressive. Plus, it's free so you really have no excuse to not play it. 11/10.

now if the new Turok game had a vehicle portion... it would be more epic than this.
i just wish the raptors weren't like clawed toucans
However, this Unity crap better not haxor my gibson.
that's probably for the best, but if they had vehicles like halo... lol riding a quad into a raptor would be so ownd on so many levels.
then again, they made the right choice... now all they need to do is add the cerebral bore in a later downloadable content... just to appease all the people bitching about it.
Don't know if it was some issue with my PC or the servers.
this is going to be on my mind all day
and yes I agree with Volcanon, this game needs zombies
Btw, does anyone know what the eggs are for, the red ones only give 3K points when being delivered.
I fell through the world.
I subsequently destroyed three doors.
11/10
Greatest. Premise. Ever.
You rang?
My productivity for the day is shot to hell. Thank you, Destructoid.
@Hamza: Minor correction here...
I think you mean “quirky” instead of “corky” in the second sentence of the fifth paragraph.
Somehow this already feels played out.
The game itself is a little choppy at times but it's still an 11/10. Can you imagine if this got the HD Xbox Live treatment? Ohhh, save the thought, for I have already soiled myself.
We almost considered not releasing this game because the people on the internet were so darn mean to us.
I actually quite enjoy the game.
good try, though
Excellent
