UPDATE: HELP US RULE KONGREGATE!!
If you like this game, please take a second to visit
http://www.kongregate.com/games/pixeljamgames/dino-run and rate it. The dinos need your support! :)

Whats up Dinos...
Here's the latest from Pixeljam. We hope the NG crowd enjoys it.

MULTIPLAYER mode is at xgenstudios.com/play/dino run. Race your friends!
If you donate any amount to pixeljam, you get 50+ hats/helmets for your dino + many new colors, which show up in Multiplayer as well: pixeljam.com/donations.

If the game looks weird or wont show a link, try the pop-up version.
INTEL MAC USERS: use Safari. Firefox will not play this game well.

All the basics can be found in HOW TO PLAY, but here are some pointers anyway:

Escape the pyroclastic wall of doom and find your dino sanctuary!
AWSD or Arrow keys move the dino. Or use a combo of both.
SHIFT key gives you a speed boost, which recharges every 20 seconds or so.
Press down while jumping for an air attack. Useful for many things.
You must duck to eat things on the ground.

The game can be played in CHALLENGE or SPEEDRUN mode. It defaults to challenge, which is a collection of 7 levels. Speedruns can be unlocked and chosen in the OPTIONS screen. You need Bones to unlock speedruns (and buy goodies). You get bones by eating critters and reaching milestones.

Earn DNA by collecting eggs and eating critters. Use your DNA to upgrade your dino.
The game auto-saves. You have 3 slots open for different dinos.

The game is DEEP so EXPLORE and have fun!

remember this game fondly. glad to have found this again. love you.

Nice

So this was fun it is a beautful game plasy off well with some nice features and some beautiful visuals on that seems like you really run to one side but would be nice if you could run in other directions and such but honestly the gameplay was enough and filled with some fun filled action dino mania is what I call it lol but you have a nice concept and seems pretty popular so awsome job on this game

I LOVE THIS GAME! DAMN! IS A BANGER I FINALLY BEAT IT! I USED TPPLAY THAT SHIT SINCE I WAS YOUNGER AND IT STILL HOLDS UP!! BEST GAME EVER!

Yep it is a good game.

Top one of my fav flash games actually. I used to play this on pixeljam and got a highscore of two million points on hard difficulty. Too bad you get extra points for those super eggs and achievements which you cannot get again when you are upgraded. That last "Collect enough eggs" trophy was a super grind but I got it as the last trophy to my collection. I bought the golden desktop.

Nice with some secrets but it is too easy to glitch out of the map. No major bugs though. The big volcano holds two secret endings. The largest super egg is where you finish in Insane difficulty challenge mode. If you gather 500 DNA you get strength + jump + speed boost for pressing shift.

I wish there would be more running in the other direction because I feel uncomfortable with the scrolling to the left. The physics are awesome and I like the sound tracks. Retro. The gameplay could be diversed if you want it to. You can aim at collecting eggs, search super eggs, eat fishes or smaller dinos or just beat your time at doomsurfing or riding a boulder. I got a dactyl chain of eleven once by pure luck.

I never paid anything to this game. I played multiplayer as a guest and beat the players who had a lot of experience. I never donated to their Kickstarter for Dino Run 2 and seeing it getting canceled for incufficent funds made me kinda sad. Whatever..

A pearl in the history of flash games as I know many think. A little bit too hard for new players to figure out and get good at but hella fun if you give it time. The dino is kinda cute.
