positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →a classic from 2008, brought to steam in 2015 and casually reviewed by me in 2025.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first game I played on my new computer was Dino Run DX, in case you wanted to know. Gotta test that GPU.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →As someone who grew up playing this game in the early days of the internet, I cannot express how happy I am to see it again, I recommend it to anyone its simple, yet fun! plus... you can't go wrong with dinosaurs 11/10!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In my [url=https://www.jannekeparrish.com/game/audiosurf/] Audiosurf review, I wrote about nostalgia and the lens through which certain games inevitably have to be viewed. In that review, I talked about the memories the game evoked, the sensation of sitting in a too small, too expensive flat, curled around the one game I had that wasn't pirated, making a date night out of what I had, and loving every minute of it. It's impossible for me to disentangle the memories of playing the game from the…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Buyer beware! Picked this up on sale after forgetting it had be uploaded to steam years ago, but should've read recent comments/community posts first. The big draw for the game- the multiplayer- is still listed as a feature yet servers are supposedly down. Not that I'd even get that far to see because the game loads as a black screen for me. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, full screened, relaunched, re-verified files multiple times to no avail. My whole play time is navigating a void that…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played the original when I was a kid. I wanted to relive the memories once again. Spectacularly simple gameplay that anyone can enjoy, and the massive list of achievements give it tons of replayability.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Compared to the web version I played as a kid, the DX version adds a ton from the old web version I used to play. It's a game with a lot of polish, replayability, and challenge and definitely worth checking out. Dino Run 2 looks like it will be a massive sequel with a ton of quality changes, but this game set the stage for that one. Definitely worth your time if you have never had a chance to play.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dino Run DX is an indie classic that takes the simple concept of running from extinction and turns it into an exhilarating, fast-paced experience. This game puts you in control of a tiny raptor racing against the inevitable doom of an incoming asteroid impact. The pixel art is charming, the music is catchy, and the sense of urgency keeps every run thrilling. The controls are tight, allowing for smooth jumping, sprinting, through the rugged, prehistoric landscape. This game could never get…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Used to play this online in a flash browser. It'd be unfair to say anything else than it's good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was my whole childhood! I remember playing it online during computer lab in school, so glad to find it on steam. It's got just enough levels to stay interesting and find/master all the secret shortcuts without being overwhelming. Highly recommend for an arcade style runner game.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →wanted to go down memory lane a bit, so i bought this on sale on a whim who coulda thought the actual factual apocalypse would be so adorable i'd only played the original, so it was cool to see all the lil modes and extra stuff added to this version and i'd forgotten how much the Volcano stage's track banged little word of caution if you've got the completionist mind goblin like me: this game can be fairly grindy, cause the hardest stuff is basically impossible if your stats aren't fully…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just as good as it was in computer lab! Really keen for the sequal!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Cute little plaformer runner
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Second Game is on the way omg I was waiting for this all this years FINALLY
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's cool it's on Steam but let's all agree Miniclip was a better game distributor than Epic
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →PIXELJAM! RELEASE DINO RUN 2 BEFORE I KICK THE BUCKET AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →best game to have ever been made
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the first game i ever bought on steam!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A childhood classic that is just as addictive as it was back then :D
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →trigger warndng before reading: dinosours are extinct already. Soo dinosaurs in this game run from the metor and it is dangerous. i would streer clear of this meteors storm because its dangerous and kills you. But dont worry because you can save you kids in this game and raise a family.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →anyone remember this classic from addictinggames dot com or other similar websites back in the day?
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been playing this game since it was hosted on miniclip back in the day. Simple but addictive. Finally beat insane challenge after all these years.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →9 year old me would be so proud that I beat this over a decade later.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I loved this game growing up, but the entire appeal of buying this on steam was so I could play directly with my friends. Otherwise, why not use the open source code and play it for free? All skins and hats are unlocked so there's no joy in playing it solo either. As long as there's no means of actually playing with people, don't advertise the game as PvP or Multiplayer. Especially since there's renewed hype for the 2nd game, there's bound to be a lot of disappointment with getting this one…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →3/10 think they bailed on this game and moved on to the 2nd - advertised for the 2nd game when you turn it on - quit the game mid run and came back to be on level 1 - they removed the online multiplayer - none of the achievement unlock
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Been playing this work of art since Flash games were everything. This game is a core memory and I was so happy when I found it here on Steam.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →one of my fav childhood games that rlly appeals to me still as an adult. i never realized how many fun nooks and crannies, secrets and achievements there are :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wayyyyyy back in the early '10s I played the original free Flash version. It's just as good as it was back then, and I love that I'm actually a good enough gamer to get the eggs now. Great stuff!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →childhood game +beautiful pixel art -kinda stressful ;w;
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Yeah! Play Dino Run 2 Multiplayer Forever (or.. as long as there are internets and the game still runs on distant future computer tech). We learned our lesson when our Dino Run/Dino Run DX multiplayer server host closed down and Dino Run 1 multiplayer became extinct. 😔
unlabelledView post →An indie classic, so many great memories from my youth and a must play for any dinosaur fans, especially if you grew up in the early 2000's.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I love this game since it was one of my very earliest games I've played as a child!! Still my favourite <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good game, you can turn your brain off and watch 50 episodes of The Sopranos. Let the dinosaur go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from extinction <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the GREATEST games of all time, I remember I used to go over to my friends house when i was a kid and play this on there parents laptop on some old website, but we could only play for like 10 minits before her older sister kicked us off. Extermily biased 10/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember stumbling upon this game back in 2008 when I was searching for some web games on Miniclip on my relative's PC. Those were the simpler days, especially the multiplayer mode it had where I also met a lot of nice players to hang out with. 10/10 certified nostalgic runner game. Looking forward to its sequel as well!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of my favorite 2d platformers. Also it has dinosaurs :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Bought the game for the multiplayer, as seen in the trailer and in the tags. There's no multiplayer. Refunded. I absolutely do not care the devs are focusing on their new game. The tags and trailer are misleading.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →dudes will play dino run DX but havent stopped and admired a run since they were dino. DX
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →it's exactly like it used to be, sans multiplayer support. cant wait for the sequel so I can destroy my sister with my superior dinosaur running skills again
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A timeless classic
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game beat my ass xD We also played a bit of Dino Run DX! I'll see you this weekend for the start of Resident Evil 0! Thanks for hanging out with me <3 We raided @nyyxveil.bsky.social who is playing Resident Evil Code Veronica! ❤️

unlabelledView post →Ah, here's a classic game I played so often as a child. A quintessential Flash game, brimming with soul. It's just as I remembered it, yet with more goodies thrown in. Ahead of the sequel's Early Access release this year, as per the dev, revisiting this gem brings me great joy.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's amazing how much of this game remained part of my muscle memory
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I like it when the flying dinosaur picks me up :)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →10/10 because childhood
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh, god, they're all going to die... and no matter how fast I run, I can't save them all... A very nostalgic and fun game! I'm gonna need to play it more for sure. It's fast-paced and fun and kind of bleak but in a low-stakes sort of way! It's very funny seeing Wilson Don't Starve and Freddy Fazbear Five Night's on dinosaur bodies. This game gets a dragon rating of 7/10 because dinosaurs are not dragons, but boy, are they close.
