Dino Saur

Guide a pixelated Tyrannosaurus rex across a side-scrolling swamp, avoiding  obstacles to achieve a higher score. If that sounds or looks familiar, it is! It's the classic chrome offline game with a colorful and vibrant twist!

For those unfamiliar, the dinosaur moves across a colorful and calm-sounding swamp, attempting to avoid oncoming obstacles such as Night Gales, Stalker Pups or Brutes by jumping or ducking. Pressing SPACE, UP_ARROW or tapping the game window on mobile devices will cause the dinosaur to "jump", while pressing the DOWN_ARROW key will cause the dinosaur to "duck". Speed of play alternates as the game progresses until the player hits and obstacle, prompting a game over screen with some interesting and sometimes humorous notes. 

Once the player reaches around 700 points, the game background switches from the bright green swamp to a dim grey with night crickets chirping to match, representing a shift from day to night. This color scheme alternates as the game progresses. I love your time as a player, as such, the game is designed to reach its maximum score after approximately 200 minutes of playtime (I'm far too excited to see who beats it first!).
