Dino Game is a simple yet addictive side-scrolling arcade game. Players control a T-Rex dinosaur running endlessly through the desert, jumping over cacti and ducking to avoid flying pterosaurs to survive as long as possible. Originally released when Google Chrome lost its internet connection, Dino Game quickly became a familiar entertainment icon for millions.
How the Game Works
Controls & Obstacles
- Cacti: Stationary obstacles of varying heights.
- Pterosaurs: Flying dinosaurs appearing at various heights, requiring precise judgment.
Controls
- Space / Up Arrow: Jump (the first jump starts the game)
- Down Arrow: Duck
Scoring & Progress
There are no coins or upgrades. Success is measured by distance/points achieved. Difficulty escalates over time, creating increasingly challenging obstacles that require players to memorize the rhythm and patterns of the obstacles.
Tips for running further
- Look further ahead than the T-Rex (about directly in front) to anticipate obstacles.
- Keep your position in the center of the screen for more reaction space.
- Time your jumps: Jumping too early or too late increases the risk of collisions.
