Play Dino Run now and sprint through prehistoric danger, dodge falling meteors, collect eggs, and guide your dinosaur through the ultimate extinction race.
Overview
Dino Run is a classic side-scrolling running game developed by PixelJAM and originally released in 2008. Inspired by retro arcade titles, the game features charming pixel art and energetic 8-bit sounds that capture the spirit of old-school gaming.
In the game, you control a small velociraptor trying to escape a catastrophic extinction event. A deadly “wall of doom” filled with falling meteorites constantly chases you, forcing you to run quickly and react fast. As you sprint through prehistoric landscapes, you must jump over hazards, stomp on creatures, and collect eggs to survive as long as possible.
Escape the Extinction
Your mission in Dino Run is simple: run as far as possible while escaping extinction. The meteor storm behind you never stops, so staying ahead is crucial.
While running across dangerous prehistoric terrain, you must:
- Avoid obstacles such as rocks, pits, and uneven ground.
- Jump across gaps to avoid falling into deep holes.
- Stomp on smaller animals to clear your path and earn rewards.
- Dodge falling meteorites that can slow you down or stop your run.
Eggs scattered throughout the level are extremely valuable. Collecting them grants extra lives and helps extend your survival.
Some eggs are even more powerful:
- Super Eggs help you reach important milestones.
- Reaching these milestones rewards you with DNA, which can improve your dinosaur’s abilities.
When your dinosaur’s feet begin to spark, you can activate a temporary speed boost. This dash can help you escape danger or overcome difficult terrain.
