Description by Libretro (from Google Play)
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.

Fantastic! I've been looking for Kickle Cubicle and this almost fits the bill. Graphics could be better, but I love it anyway!!!
★★★★★ A Google User · Mar 25, 2015
Dinosaur I love the feel of this game, like to know more of how it was made etc.!
★★★★★ Yarsan Hoessain · Oct 6, 2017
A nice and simple game with lovely music 😉 and is made using the Libretto API which is AWESOME.
★★★★★ Jan S · Apr 9, 2020
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.

Doesn't work with my Steel Series Stratus XL controller. D-pad and analog sticks work, but none of the buttons do anything. I can't give this more than one star if it won't work with my controller.
