hullo all, i tried to post a description earlier, but it didnt seem to go through... well hope you guys can help me find this game, or just tell me the name of it

(i read the sticky!!)

Description
It is about being a dinosaur and surving until 'extinction'.

you start off 'creating' your own dinosaur.

choosing the various parts had some influence over you. i.e. choosing a carnivore's head meant your a meat-eater
or choosing wings meant you could fly.

you had stats to keep up, and they were i think
hunger - you had to eat either plants or other dinosaurs to maintain it
thirst - there were drinking holes you had to drink from
stamina - you had to rest in a safe spot (flying allowed you to rest in trees)

you also had you actual life too - unless it was related to hunger...

Thoughts

well it was top down style, and not 3D (or what i think 3d is)

and i think the place where you create your dinosaur was something like a ____lab or something...

it was really fun, cept i only managed to finish it once; on a weird flying raptor...

well hope someone can help, thanks!

Edit: FOUND IT!!! Only took an hour.

Just google the heck out of 'download designasaurus' is my only advice. I got the original from Underdogs but you can't download from them at the moment.

And now I can't remember how I found it yesterday...I think I finally googled something 'make dinosaur lab'.
