How to Play Dino Rush

Run

Your dino runs forward automatically — just keep going, don't stop!

Jump

Jump over obstacles and pits. Hold the key longer to jump higher.

Duck

Duck down to dodge low-flying obstacles using the down arrow key.

🎮 Controls (1 Player)

🖥️ Controls (Desktop)

↑JUMP ↓DUCK SPACEJUMP

👥 2-Player Mode on One Device

Dino Rush lets two players race side by side on the same keyboard — no network, no second device needed.

Enable the mode

On the game's start screen (in the game frame on the home page), tap the "2 PLAYERS" button next to "1 Player".

Pick characters

Use the ◀ ▶ arrows to choose: P1 picks from the male dino roster, P2 picks from the female dino roster.

Start racing

Tap "START". The screen splits horizontally, each player gets their own lane with its own obstacles but the same speed and difficulty.

🟢 Player 1 (bottom lane)

WJUMP SDUCK

Mobile: tap the left half of the screen to jump, swipe down to duck.

🟣 Player 2 (top lane)

↑JUMP ↓DUCK

Mobile: tap the right half of the screen to jump, swipe down to duck.

Win condition: whoever falls first has that lane stop and show its final score, while the other keeps running. Once both have fallen, the higher score wins — ties are broken by coins collected. P (pause) and M (sound) apply to the whole match. 2-player scores don't count toward the 1-player leaderboard or personal best.

🐾 Obstacle Field Guide

Spiky Bush

Low but covered in sharp spikes — jump over it.

💎 Special Items

Coin

The most common pickup — each coin is +50 points.

✨ +50 points

Gem

Rarer than coins but worth much more — worth the risky jump.

✨ +150 points

Dino Egg

Eating an egg spawns a baby dino that follows you. On your next collision, it sacrifices itself instead — you revive on the spot, keeping your score, instead of ending the run.

🥚 +1 life (max 3)

Shield

A glowing shield surrounds your dino. Hitting an obstacle while shielded shatters it and you run straight through safely — the shield is used up after exactly one hit.

🛡 Absorbs 1 hit

Growth Potion

Drink it and your dino grows giant for 8 seconds — obstacles get smashed aside instead of ending your run.

💪 Giant mode (8s)

Coins, gems, eggs, shields and growth potions spawn in safe gaps between obstacles — some sit up high, so you'll need to jump for them.

⭐ Tips for a High Score

Stay focused

The farther you run, the faster it gets!

Learn the rhythm

Obstacles follow patterns — learn them and react fast.

Grab coins

Each coin is +50 points — high-up coins are worth the risk.

Practice daily

A little each day and your record will climb on its own.

Don't give up

One more run — it might just be your best one yet!
