Objective of the game:
Help dino to dodge the enemies and above all...keep running as long as you can!

Commands always visible:
You will always see the commands/actions availableson the bottom right of the window.

Dynamic and Infinite:
Each game is different! You cannot memorise the position of the enemies because they are spawned randomly!
Dino can run as long as you keep dodging enemies, it is an infinite game!
In addition, the background of each menu is set depending on your local time. To see all of them try to play at different day times.

Great variety of dinos and scenaries: There are 4 dinos and 4 scenaries availables,that gives us 16 possibilities of games!

Two types of difficulty:
Normal: The enemies will not shoot you.
Only for the brave: You will suffer, but it is fun! :)
