LEVEL 6: NEW ANIMAL

Meet HADROCODIUM, the smallest mammal that ever existed!

This is the first WIND Animal you encounter in this game. Wind Animals are very useful from now on, since you can use them to STEAL EGGS for you!

The "STEAL AN EGG" stage is under construction (July 2012), but you will be able to play it next week!
We will talk about eggs then.

Free Dinosaur Sketches: Meganeura


Well, ok, you got me here! It's not a Dinosaur, but I didn't want to create a new label for this...
Here's a picture of Meganeura, the prehistoric dragonfly!
You can use it freely wherever you want.

Antarctica was lined with trees 15M years ago

Grasses in Mount Cook National Park, South Island, New Zealand.An unexpectedly warm period about 15 million years ago temporarily thawed Antarctica, turning the continent green around its edges, a new study says.


Antarctica developed its ice sheets about 34 million years ago. But during the more recent warm period, the interior landscape would've resembled tundra found in parts of modern-day Chile and New Zealand, and the coasts would've been lined with beeches and a type of conifer.

Did most dinosaurs have feathers ?


The fossil of an ancient theropod found in Germany
indicates that feathers were widespread in dinosaurs
Feathers didn’t start with birds. Plumage of various sorts — from simple fuzz to the complex structures used for flight — adorned dinosaurs first, and was only later inherited by birds. And if a beautifully preserved juvenile dinosaur unearthed in the Jurassic strata of Germany is any indication, it is possible that all dinosaurs bore patches of filamentous feathers.

Since the discovery of the fluffy theropodSinosauropteryx in 1996, palaeontologists have recognized more than 30 types of feathered dinosaur. Most of these are coelurosaurs — a disparate group of theropods that includes not only the fearsome tyrannosaurs, sickle-clawed deinonychosaurs and bizarre therizinosaurs, but also birds.

LEVEL 5: THE ARMORED ANTARCTOPELTA

If you have reached Level 5, you find yourselves against the first BIG animal, the armored Antarctopelta!

It may be a peaceful vegetarian dinosaur, but if you attack it, it can be very aggressive. It might stomp you with its feet, or hurt you with its spikes. So, you'd better stay above ground and fight from a safe distance.

Dinosaur Profile: CERATONYKUS


From wikipedia

Ceratonykus (meaning 'horned claw') is a genus of alvarezsaurid theropod dinosaur that existed in the late Cretaceous period. The discovery of a fragmented skeleton in Mongolia in early 2009 has led scientists to question where alvarezsaurids fit taxonomically into Theropoda.

Dinosaur Profile: SORDES


From wikipedia

Sordes was a small basal pterosaur from the Late Jurassic (Oxfordian - Kimmeridgian) Karabastau Svita of Kazakhstan.

The genus was named in 1971 by Aleksandr Grigorevich Sharov. The type species is Sordes pilosus. The genus name means "filth" or "scum" in Latin, a reference to evil spirits in local folklore. The specific name is Latin for "hairy"; despite sordes being feminine, it has not yet been emended to pilosa.

Level 1: Catch flying Sordes and collect Food





So, the adventure begins!
You have to collect some food and Golden Shells, which are the game's currency.
The only place on the Map that you can visit, is the Sordes nest.




Welcome to Ricky Rok's world!


Welcome to my new Flash Game!

It is still under construction, but I decided to publish it here, so that you will be able to play and review it, before it can be officially found in Facebook.

The game is about Ricky Rok, a caveman, and the wild creatures that surround him.
You start as a hungry, homeless and unarmed Ricky. Your missions are to wander around in the Map, collect food, beat up Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures and build Ricky a house.
