Gunosaurs

What is Gunosaurs?

Gunosaurs is a tower defense game where dinosaurs didn’t just survive… they adapted.

In this world, evolution took a different path — one where firepower replaced instinct. Enemy Gunosaurs don’t just charge… they fight back.

You must strategically place and upgrade turrets to survive increasingly aggressive waves and evolving threats.

Teeth are optional. Firepower is not.

Phase 1.2 Update (Current Build)

Gunosaurs has evolved beyond its initial prototype.

This update introduces major gameplay improvements and expanded content:

• Expanded base structure and gameplay flow
• Completely reworked attacking Gunosaurs behavior
• Improved combat readability and engagement
• +8 new levels (12 total) to test strategy and mastery

This is no longer just a test — it’s a growing system.

Core Features

• Strategic turret placement and upgrades
• Enemies follow defined paths and actively fight back
• Multiple turret types with unique roles
• Fog of war system for cleaner gameplay focus
• Short, replayable levels with increasing difficulty
• Clean, readable visual design (no clutter, no noise)

Platforms

• Windows Desktop Build
• Linux ARM64 (Raspberry Pi 5 tested)

Cyberdeck Build – Developed on Raspberry Pi 5

Gunosaurs is developed and tested on a Raspberry Pi 5 as part of a mobile development lab experiment.

This project explores:

• Lightweight game development
• Portable workflows
• Real-world development outside traditional setups

This game is not just built for the desktop — it’s built anywhere.

How to Play

• Use currency to purchase and place turrets
• Left Mouse Button: Select / Place / Interact
• Click turrets to upgrade using collected currency
• Defeat incoming waves of Gunosaurs to earn resources
• ESC: Pause / Quit

Strategic placement and timing are key to survival.

Devlog / Journey

This project is part of a larger real-world development journey.

Gunosaurs is being built in:

• Libraries
• Coffee shops
• Outdoor environments

Follow along as the system evolves and expands.

AI Collaboration Notice

This project is developed through a collaboration between Tin Tin (human developer) and AI-assisted tools.

AI is used for:

• Problem-solving
• Structuring ideas
• Refinement

All systems, mechanics, and implementation decisions are made and verified by the developer.

This is a human-driven project enhanced by AI tools — not an automated product.
