Dino Run
Introduction '''''Dino Run''''' is a Flash game created by PixelJAM and XGen Studios, released on April 30, 2008.The player steers a ''Velociraptor'' through increasingly dangerous side-scrolling landscapes to escape an impending "wall of doom". The game uses simple pixel art and 8-bit sound to replicate the style of 1980s arcade games. ''Dino Run'' was conceived by PixelJAM co-founder Richard Grillotti while he was sketching dinosaurs.Expanded and improved versions of the game were later released for Macintosh, PC, and Linux under the titles ''Dino Run SE'' (2011) and ''Dino Run DX'' (2015).In early 2023, the multiplayer mode for ''Dino Run DX'' shut down. In response, PixelJAM made a tweet announcing they were turning the game open source.
Reception
Sequels Two additional games, ''Dino Run: Marathon of Doom'' (2011) and ''Dino Run: Enter Planet D'' (2013), were released as stand-alone titles.In November 2013, PixelJam launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to finance development of ''Dino Run 2''. The game would introduce new dinosaurs, including ''Triceratops'', ''Parasaurolophus'', ''Pachycephalosaurus'', and ''Archaeopteryx''. The fundraiser sought $175,000, but ended a month later, raising only $83,476.Another Kickstarter campaign succeeded in being funded in 2018.The game remains unreleased.
