Dinosaur Game

Game Description

The Dinosaur Game, famously known as the Chrome Dino Game, is a simple yet addictive game developed by Google. It appears when there is no internet connection in the Google Chrome browser. The game features a pixelated dinosaur (often referred to as “T-Rex”) that runs across a desert landscape, dodging obstacles like cacti and birds. The game’s charm lies in its minimalist design and the challenge it offers, making it a popular pastime for users waiting for their internet connection to return.

How to Play

The objective of the Dinosaur Game is to control the T-Rex as it runs through a desert, avoiding obstacles along the way. The game starts automatically when you try to navigate in Chrome without an internet connection. The T-Rex runs forward continuously, and the player must jump over cacti and duck under flying birds. The game ends when the T-Rex collides with an obstacle.

Game Controls

• Space Bar or Up Arrow Key: Make the T-Rex jump over obstacles.
