What's in the Dino Game? Every Character & Obstacle

The offline dino looks minimal, but it has a small cast. Here's everything you'll meet.

The T-Rex (you)

Your character is a Tyrannosaurus rex — the most recognizable dinosaur, chosen so it reads clearly as a tiny sprite. It can run, jump, and duck. Why a dinosaur at all? See this explainer.

Pterodactyls (the birds)

The flying obstacles are pterodactyls, appearing at three heights once your score climbs. Ducking and jumping both matter — our pterodactyl guide covers exactly when to do which.

Cacti (the ground obstacles)

The desert is dotted with cacti in various widths and clusters. They're the bread-and-butter obstacle you jump over throughout every run.

That's the whole cast — one dinosaur, some birds, and a lot of cacti. The challenge comes from speed, not variety.

Meet them all in motion on the home page, and learn the moves in how to play.
