History of Creation
Dinosaur Game was developed by the Google Chrome UX team and released in September 2014. This game aims to recreate the image of an «offline» period when humans did not have the Internet, and the game’s setting is designed to summarize the dinosaur era.
How to Play
The game is very simple: the player controls a T-Rex dinosaur running through the desert, avoiding obstacles such as cacti and flying birds by pressing the Space key or the Up Arrow to jump. As the speed increases, the game becomes more difficult.
