How to Play the Dinosaur Game
The Dinosaur Game is a one-button runner: start the run, jump over cactus clusters, duck under birds, and keep your timing steady as the desert gets faster.
Controls
- Press Space or Arrow Up to start and jump.
- Press Arrow Down to duck when flying obstacles appear.
- On touch screens, tap the game area to start or jump.
Scoring
Your score rises while the dinosaur keeps running. Early obstacles give you room to learn the jump arc, then the speed increases and your inputs need to happen a little earlier.
Practice path
Start with the classic game until cactus timing feels natural. When you want a new seed, try the daily challenge so every player gets the same rules for the day.
