You control a raptor fleeing a spreading wall of destruction after a world-ending disaster. Each run is a race to keep moving before the wall catches up.
Jump over hazards and uneven ground, duck to avoid obstacles or grab food, and weave past meteors and larger dinosaurs. Terrain changes as you run, demanding quick reactions to preserve your speed.
Challenge settings offer different levels of difficulty, with additional modes including free exploration and speedruns. Collect eggs and other rewards to improve your raptor’s stats, while unlocks let you change its colors and hats.
Players often enjoy the straightforward, fast-paced runs and many describe returning to the game for childhood memories of its browser version. Reviews also praise the quick-to-pick-up format, pixel visuals, and extra modes and unlocks. Some players find the gameplay repetitive, and a few complain that multiplayer is unavailable or does not work.
