The thrilling conclusion!
You and Buzz, now knowing the danger they are in meet up with the rest of the resistance to work out a plan to defeat Slipp before he can try to take over the future. It's a small group of some new pals who seem very keen on accidentally getting themselves killed, but they're good people. Dinosaurs. Good dinosaurs.
When Slipp plans to bombard Dino Town from the skies via a huge airship, the group boards the vessel and infiltrates, avoiding security lasers, sneaking past sleeping guards, and fighting some of Slipp's underlings.
The game continues as it started, filled with goofy dialog, a bit of self-awareness as to the absurdity of all this, and constantly raising the stakes. Like any game made by a younger author, there are obviously some very grand plans in store for the series with your teammates being sent through a time portal to whereabouts unknown, and Slipp giving everyone the slip, and escaping before he can be dealt with.
The game is absolutely charming, keeping the original spirit of the game alive with all sorts of memorable dinos, places, and hard fought battles. It is absolutely the kind of game I'd have played again and again as a child, reliving the adventure of two kids travelling through time and working together to save the world. If you were ZZTing at a young age, games like this should feel right at home to you. Excellent work!
