What’s good about this game?
-Simple goal
Player has to survive from the coming meteor by running to the exit. Simple and direct goal makes the player understand what they have to do in the game. Though the goal of the game is simple yet it is flexible, allowing the player to explore the game while trying very hard running from the meteor.
-Interaction
In this game, Players can simply use the [arrow] keys to move, jump, and attack. Along the way, players can find themselves interacting with the other assets in the game. Some can be beneficial to the player while some can hinder the player’s escape from the meteor. Players discover that they can collect eggs, tunnel into volcanoes, catch rides on larger dinosaurs/ Pterodactyls and rolling meteorites, and gulp down anything smaller than the player (dino) for score bonuses. However, players can sometimes be hit by flaming birds/ flaming rocks which might hinder the speed of the player. One thing to note is that player must keep running and running or else the oncoming meteor might swallow the player and the game ends. Each time the player completes a level, a chance will be gain and each chance allows the player to retry the level if the player fails to complete that level previously. Although there are three modes of play (Challenge, Speedrun and Multiplayer), the idea is basically the same: run as fast as you can from the meteor. In addition, you can also earn DNA points, which you can then use to upgrade your dino: make them faster, stronger and more agile (player upgrades). Hidden super eggs can be collected to earn grant large bonuses in all areas: score, bones and DNA.

-Graphics/ animation
I love the retro look and feel of Dino Run. This game uses this pixelated kind of look and feel in the entire game which reminds me of games like super Mario etc. Right now, most of the games uses 3d graphic and I somewhat misses the pixelated look and feel in the older games I played when I was young. In addition, I like how every elements in the game interacts with your dino. For example, the pterodactyls will carry you for a short while, boulders and meteorites can be pushed into other dinos and ridden down slopes, flowers and little creatures are for eating, and big dinos acts as bridge or riding vehicle etc. Players are considered being bombarded by the different interaction it can do with the game while trying to fulfil the goal of the game- To run from the meteor.
What’s bad about this game?
Though the game has a simple goal yet it has a challenging game play. This is because I have yet completed the whole game. Right now, I have reached level 5 and I fail to complete level 5 so I do not know the total number of levels in this game. I guess this is the drawback of this game as I have not completed the whole game yet. However, I still love this game and I will continue playing it to complete this whole game.
