About Dino Dash
Endless runners are loved for their simple controls and tense, climbing speed. Dino Dash puts a friendly orange dino in a desert run with cactus of different sizes and birds that fly low or high.
Unlike the classic browser dino game, you get 3 hearts, so one mistake does not end your run.
