What players say

Players agree Prehistoric Dude is a very short, chill metroidvania that can be finished in an afternoon, and they praise its open level design and charming style. Opinions split on controls: some find them fine, others report unresponsive controller play or bad keyboard binds, and a few mention minor collision bugs.
