This game is so immensely nostalgic to me - I remember playing it on the Pixel Jam website way back when I was a kiddo and hanging out in the multiplayer lobby to race people. We always used to spend ages just sitting and roleplaying in the little victory room at the end and I still find myself lingering just a little bit longer in those caves to relish those memories. Not too difficult or frustrating, very intuitive little platformer, and still holds up well after all these years. There can be some very minor performance issues when meteors strike or there is a lot of dinosaurs on the screen, though part of that is just my laptop being stinky.3 found this helpful
I remember as a kid when I first played this game. Such a long time ago in the days of Flash. I remember watching the theories behind this game, looking up things such as Paradise and beating the game on the hardest level. Last time I played, I was able to relieve those feelings and experience that nice nostalgia. I will always appreciate and love the game that made its way into my heart from a decade and further ago. And now, I have Dino Run 2 to look forward to with its Early Access!
I played the old browser version when I was like 7. I'm 25 now, and I still enjoy the feeling of running from impending doom.
Its a good,c heap game, lots of fun, just wish the devs would release the second one already, its been years :(
Used to play this as a kid on Miniclip when Flash games were thing, loved it then and love it now with the extra stuff. <3
If playing this in a browser as a kid had an hours-played count, I would not be surprised if mine approached a thousand. Such a throwback, I was addicted to this game. Would recommend!
