Play Jurassic Run free online — a adventure game that loads straight into the page. It leans on animals, so expect a steady difficulty curve. You can jump in for two minutes or lose an hour to it; either works.
About Jurassic Run
Adventure trip has gone bad! There is a bloodthirsty dinosaur behind your back! Use the stick to cross to the other side! Make sure the stick length is accurate, otherwise you will fall or get eaten - and don't forget to collect the dinosaur's eggs!
How to play Jurassic Run
You can work the whole thing out by playing it. 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. Take the first run as practice and the second one seriously.
