As we’ve seen in *Jurassic Park*, and now *Jurassic World*, the unstoppable force of a hungry dino can only be thwarted by one thing: cool, overly confident badassary. Whether its Sam Neill battling a car and a raptor at the same time, or Chris Pratt’s motorcycle sequence, the more outlandish your survival tactics, the more likely you are of conquering the dinosaurs wanting to make a scratching post out of your flesh.

But, really, the protagonist of [*Theropods*](http://gamejolt.com/games/game/58684?ref=killscreen.com) tops all other dino-themed badassery before her. In fact, I’m pretty sure this fiery-haired cavewoman would pick her teeth with Pratt’s bones as much as any one of his misbehaving raptors would. Because this protagonist, unlike those others who encounter dinosaurs, lives in a world entirely populated by the beasts. They roam free, a constant threat to our protagonist’s way of life—and her ruthless fighting style proves just how time-tested she is. Dinosaurs are such a normal part of her life that when two raptors decide to rush her peaceful campfire out of nowhere, our fiery redhead springs into action, scaling a tree and swiftly making her way back to safety by using the environment against her attacker.

The protagonist, who appears to combine *Brave’*s Merida with Eep from *The Croods*, must rescue her witch doctor companion after saving herself. As a point and click game created in just two weeks for the [adventure jam](http://jams.gamejolt.io/adventurejam?ref=killscreen.com), *Theropods* is a quick trip into this redhead’s cutthroat world. But each puzzle and animation emphasizes the huntress’s craftiness, as she tries to make a home out of a hostile environment—instead of just survive the dino-hell her and her fellow man invented for themselves.

In the end, there are some brutal and depressing casualties to our fiery redhead’s determination. Never before have I solved a final puzzle in a game only to go “Yay—Oh no! I didn’t mean it! I take it back!” Despite how short *Theropods* is, it makes an impression and captures the day-to-day reality of being a true, badass dinosaur survivalist.
