    The first game I played on my new computer was Dino Run DX, in case you wanted to know. Gotta test that GPU.

    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…

    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…

    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.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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…

    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

    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. 😔

    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!

    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.
