* CoolGuns: Due to the game's setting in the 1910s, you can collect a Thompson Machine Gun to mow down hostile dinos.

--> "It was supposed to be an average cargo run. Of all the islands we supply, none of them had an active volcano, that's for sure. But when all our instruments went dead the plume of smoke on the horizon was all we had to go on, That bloody storm came out of nowhere. Not a cloud in the sky one minute and the next? Pandemonium. The sea screeched like a thousand nails dragged across a chalkboard. Before I knew it, my whole world was turned upside down."

* DinkyDilophosaur: The dilophosaurs are about the same size as the crates.

* AirborneMooks: {{Ptero Soarer}}s are another recurring hostile dinosaur you can encounter, firstly in the third stage as you locate the boat Anna told you about, and as you fled downstream a whole flock of pterosaurs swoops over to attack. You'll be shooting a lot of these airborne enemies throughout the game after that.

* SuperSpit: Dilophosauruses can launch their [[AcidAttack acid drool]] on you from a distance away. Keep an eye on dilophosaurus enemies a distance away - if they're raising their frills, shoot them before they can let out their spit and damage you.

* CoolGuns: Due to the game's setting in the 1930s, you can collect a Thompson Machine Gun to mow down hostile dinos.

* LivingDinosaurs: The entirety of the game have you assuming the role of a soldier in the 1930s getting stranded on an island where dinosaurs have not gone extinct yet, and must shoot your way out to survive.

Set in the 1930s, the player(s) assume the role of a soldier escorting a cargo ship across the Atlantic during the first World War. But after the ship is caught in a freak storm and washed on an uninhabited island with only the player character surviving, the player finds out said island is home to various dinosaurs which somehow escaped extinction. Armed with his trusty pistol, the player can scavenge firearms and supplies littered all over the island from previous wrecks as he shoots his way through multiple stages.

* StockDinosaurs: The game features raptors and pterosaurs as recurring enemies along with a T-Rex as the FinalBoss.

* AttackTheMouth: The T-Rex boss can only be damaged by firing grenades into the mouth. All other firearms does ScratchDamage on it.

* RaptorAttack: Velociraptors are the first and most recurring enemy in the island, attacking you as soon as you land on the beach and coming in ''droves'' in the later levels. Being TheGoomba, they're not very tough and are dangerous only when they attempt to overwhelm you through numbers.
* StockDinosaurs: Yeah, with raptors and pterosaurs as recurring enemies and a T-Rex as the FinalBoss. Not really original.
* SuperPersistentPredator: The T-Rex FinalBoss in the ruins really, ''really'' enjoy eating humans, relentlessly going after you even as you empty one grenade after another down it's throat. You'll need to fight this boss thrice during the second half of the game, and it still tries coming at you as it's stranded in a shallow canal of the ruins until the volcanic explosion fills the canal with lava, finally killing it.

* ChekhovsVolcano: The entire plot of the game hinges on your character crashing on a dinosaur-inhabited island with an active volcanoe about to go off with enough force to destroy most of the place. Besides fending off hostile dinosaurs, you're tasked with finding an escape from said island before the volcano goes off, which it did in the final stage.
