How to play Dino Runner

  1. Press Space (or tap the screen) to start running.
  2. Jump over cacti and avoid the flying pterodactyls.
  3. The desert speeds up the longer you survive, and your score keeps climbing.
  4. Touching any obstacle ends the run. Press Space or tap to try again.

Controls

  • Space or Up arrow: jump
  • Down arrow: duck under birds and drop faster after a jump
  • Tap the screen: jump on phones

Tips and strategy

  • Jump a little early at high speed; the dinosaur covers more ground per jump as the game accelerates.
  • Duck under low-flying pterodactyls instead of jumping over them.
  • Pressing Down in mid-air makes you land sooner, which helps with tightly spaced cacti.
