About This Game

DINO RUN DX is an ongoing evolution of THE classic prehistoric platformer. Control your iconic raptor through an endless assortment of procedurally generated landscapes and outrun the ever-approaching WALL OF DOOM. Will you end up one of the millions of doomsday casualties, or will you ESCAPE EXTINCTION?

featuring:

  • A unique experience every time you play... no two levels are ever the same.

  • 3 major single player gameplay modes: CHALLENGE, PLANET D and SPEEDRUNS.

  • Choose from a staggering number of hat and color combinations to hone your look... unlock even more hats by completing game milestones.

  • FREERUN MODE: turn off the doom, spawn boulders and npc dinos, roleplay.... do what you want!

Please note that the multiplayer servers for Dino Run DX went down a few years ago, and only the single player mode is available now. ย If you want to play multiplayer with friends, we recommend checking out the current playable build of Dino Run 2, which you can access by contributing to the activeย Kickstarter Campaign.

How is DX different than previous versions of the game?

If you've only played the web version from years ago, you'll find DX is a dramatic improvement with more levels, hats and gameplay options. If you've played Dino Run SE, the major differences are completely redone backgrounds and an extra layer of polish, true fullscreen mode, controller support, steamworks integration, freerun mode, and many, many more hats and colors to choose from.

fun Facts:

  • The original web version has been played over 100 million times (source: Mochibot)

  • Pixeljam, the creators of Dino Run, have made over 20 games since 2006.

  • Dino Run helped pioneer the "runner" genre of games, before it was popularized on mobile and started to truly suck.

  • Dinosaurs did not actually wear hats, but there are tiny traces of them in the plastic tightening straps on all baseball caps.

Also, we are making DINO RUN 2! Visit for more information.
