About

Unity 2D recreation of a 1990s BBC browser game. In the game the user plays the dinosaur 'Big Al', moving around a map, trying to survive and grow to achieve a high score. Enemies attack or flee in realtime, and the player's energy drops over time. The original game no longer exists. I didn't hear about it until after it was gone, but I wanted to play it, so I recreated it based on some remaining screenshots and forum posts. I had to make some minor assumptions about the gameplay, and had to make my own artwork for most of the map grid, but otherwise it's as faithful to the original as possible. A webpage about the original game can be found here: http://walkingwith.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Al_Game (update 21-Jun-18: the game now uses a slower timer)
