Dino Runner

Play:

Full screen Touch: Tap the canvas or use the dedicated JUMP/DUCK buttons below it · Keyboard: Space or Up arrow to jump (hold for a longer jump), Down arrow to duck

About:

A clean, dependency-free clone of the Chrome offline dinosaur game with dedicated on-screen JUMP and DUCK buttons for mobile. Pterodactyls fly at three heights (jump, duck, or run under) for extra variety over the original. Collision detection was confirmed correct via a genuine touch test: deliberately ducking under a jump-only obstacle produced an accurate game over on both touch and keyboard.

Phone check: 2026-09-07: played on simulated phone (390x844, real CDP touch dispatch) and desktop (keyboard); confirmed the JUMP button starts/advances the run and, critically, that deliberately holding DUCK through a jump-required cactus produced a correct, accurate game over on both platforms - proving collision detection is correctly wired to touch input, not just visually responsive.

A Astroblast by Frank Force

Beacon Siege Escort a fragile beacon through eight dark arenas. Shove the swarm back with knockback pulses, flick a lance to skewer the dangerous ones, and drop traps to hold the line until the light reaches the gate.

Beetle Parade A line of beetles is marching down a garden trail toward the burrow. Flick beetles into the line from your snail; three of a colour scuttle off, and the gaps snap shut into chain reactions.

Bin Shot Flick a scrunched-up memo across the room and into the bin, while a desk fan tries its best to blow it somewhere else. Six places to throw from, from an open-plan office to a windy rooftop at dusk.
