Dino Rush

About Dino Rush

A 3D dinosaur run on a three-lane jungle track: jump logs and triceratopses, duck pterosaurs, mind the ankylosaurus's tail, dodge the T-rex.

Dino Rush is a 3D endless runner that puts the Trex Game Studio T-rex on a three-lane track through the jungle, in full 3D. He runs on his own and keeps getting faster; you choose the lane, and when to jump or duck. Fallen logs lie across the track to be jumped, boulders block a lane and have to be gone round, and the dinosaurs coming the other way each ask for something different.

A triceratops plods towards you, low enough to jump. Pterosaurs swoop in, sometimes low (jump them) and sometimes at head height (duck under them). An ankylosaurus stands its ground and, as you come near, swings its club tail into the next lane: jump it or the tail, or take the lane the tail cannot reach. And a T-rex is too tall to jump, faster than the rest, and sometimes steps into the next lane just before it reaches you. They come in stages: the easy ones first, the T-rex last. Further on, the track starts to roll over hills.

You have three hearts. A hit costs one and gives you a moment in which nothing can hurt you; lose all three and the run is over. Your score is the distance you ran in metres, and every egg you pick up adds 25. Every row of the track leaves a way through, however fast it gets. The leaderboard is monthly: it resets on the 1st of every month at 00:00 UTC.

How to play

1. Press Run! The T-rex starts in the middle lane and runs by himself.
2. Change lane with the left and right arrow keys (or A and D). On a phone, swipe left or right on the track, or use the ◀ and ▶ buttons.
3. Jump with Space or the up arrow. On a phone, swipe up, tap the track, or press ▲.
4. Duck with the down arrow (or S). On a phone, swipe down or press ▼. Ducking in the air drops you straight to the ground.
5. Jump logs, triceratopses, low pterosaurs and an ankylosaurus or its tail; duck under high pterosaurs; go round boulders and T-rexes.
6. Pick up eggs for 25 points each; the ones in the air need a jump.
7. Three hits and the run ends. Sign in to put your score on the monthly board.

Tips

• Look ahead, not at your feet: the next row is already in sight long before it reaches you.
• A pterosaur's height tells you what to do: near the ground, jump; at head height, duck.
• An ankylosaurus's tail only reaches the next lane over. In the lane beyond it you can run straight past.
• Watch a T-rex as it comes: if it starts to step across, the lane it leaves is the safe one.
• Something walking at you arrives sooner than a log at the same distance, so move early.
• Ducking in mid-air drops you fast: handy when you jumped and a pterosaur is coming at head height.
• After a hit you blink for a moment and nothing can hurt you: use it to get to a better lane.
