Here are some random thoughts:

1) When you click on the tutorial, the option to "Click to add dino" does nothing. I know you have to click on the next tab to do that, but that's only because I was told that's what I had to do. Since people would probably work their way from the top/intro tab, on down, they'd get to "Click to add dino", and not be able to.

2) The "Controls" section of the tutorial stalls when your mouse wheel doesn't work with the zoom. I have OSX 10.4, a wired Mighty Mouse, on Firefox, and cannot zoom with it. Although +/- and S/W work for zooming, it still doesn't trigger the tutorial to go to the next step, so I'm stuck there.

3) When you're in the Buy&Equip screen, or for that matter, in the actual game, hitting the ESC key exits to the main menu. This was frustrating in the Alpha version, and hope it doesn't make its way to the final version. For example, if you're in the Buy&Equip screen, and you want to get rid of the screen, my first instinct (since there's no "x" to close it), is to hit ESC. This exits to the main menu! I know that you can click E, or click off the Buy&Equip, but Eek!! Perhaps a better solution, is to put a "Are you sure you want to exist to the Main Menu", or something?

That's all I got - I gotta get back to work!

Lookin' good though - the Beta is great!

Hey thanks a lot for the input, we appreciate it!  Do you think we should have dino creation as the second tab, or start the player with one default dino named Default?

The second one is on our board and good call about the 3rd.  We'll write that one down!

I think either of those solutions work - I dunno which one works better. I like creating your own right away, so that might be more specialer.

Awesome, and awesome.

Once I get a chance to play (didn't get to the game play screen... work...), I'll give more input!

Nice job guys. I'm glad Ted has this going for him, because his career playing the spoons has been slow to start thus far.

When you click on the words "click to add dino" it should take you to the "hatchery" tab.

I think you should also start with a default dino. That way, if you are on a different computer, you can play right away.
