About This Game

The classic prehistoric racer returns! DINO RUN DX is a massive, colorful upgrade to the legendary pixelated platformer that defined the runner genre. You are a raptor on the brink of extinction, and your only hope is to outrun the literal end of the world.

The Original Prehistoric Runner

Rediscover the game that started it all, now refined and expanded for the ultimate extinction experience. Escape the ever-approaching Wall of Doom as it consumes everything in its path, from lush jungles to crumbling volcanic landscapes.

  • Run for Your Life: Navigate treacherous terrain filled with deep craters, sticky tar pits, and stampeding triceratops.

  • Procedural Peril: Every run is different. Dive into endless, procedurally generated landscapes that ensure no two escapes are ever the same.

  • Total Customization: Customize the iconic raptor to your heart's content. Choose your colors and unlock lots and lots of hats to face the apocalypse in style.

Evolve to Survive

  • Upgrade Your Dino: Use your hard-earned points to boost your stats and improve your chances of outrunning the pyroclastic flow.

  • Collectibles & High Scores: Hunt for eggs and bones to climb the leaderboards. In Dino Run DX, progress means power (and fashion).

  • Multiple Game Modes: Tailor your extinction to your skill level with 4 distinct challenge settings, ranging from "chill" exploration to "impossible" prehistoric chaos.
