Dinothawr

Dinothawr is a simple puzzle game made by Agnes Heyer and Hans-Kristian Arntzen AKA Themaister (original creator of the RetroArch/libretro project).
The goal of the game is to save your frozen friends by pushing them onto lava so they can thaw. It mixes gameplay mechanics from Kickle Cubicle and Sokoban with some lovely ambient homegrown music.

Features:
* 50+ levels
* Level editor
* Shaders for enhanced graphics, and/or plain retro graphics for pixel purists

This game comes with a customized standalone version of RetroArch serving as the frontend. This is the first game based solely around the libretro API.

Like libretro/RetroArch, the game is open source and its source can be obtained on Github.

This is a charming and addictive little puzzle game. The idea and gameplay are both very simple and satisfying. Graphics very cute. Music is very soothing and conducive to this kind of game. Overall a very fun and relaxing experience.

Hello libretro I have been playing dinothawr (one of the best games I've ever played) since sometime but now I want to make my own levels I downloaded tiled from their official website but instead of getting a deb (I use Ubuntu) file I got some tar file. I couldn't understand the language for how to install it from their website if you know anything please tell me

Was looking for Kickle Cubicle, found this. Played for a while, pretty fun, got to level 6_1 maybe, and then quit. Came back later on and Game didnt save, so its starting me at 1_1 again, and its locked. Lost my place. I wont play it again I guess.

This is an absolute simple and cute game. It reminds me to Chip's Challenge, which I use to play at as a child
