How to play Dino Dash
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. Portrait layout: hold the phone the way you normally do, or play it centred in the page on desktop. If a round goes badly, restart — attempts are cheap and it is usually the fastest way to improve.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Mouse | Navigate menus and interact |
| Arrow keys / WASD | Move |

On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
