Dinosaur Game is a recreation of the Chrome browser's offline game. To begin, press the "space bar" key. Use the "space bar" or "up arrow" key to make the dinosaur leap, and the "down arrow" key to make it duck.
Description

Every web user has experienced internet connection loss at least once. This can occur for a variety of causes, such as a cellular network malfunction or a broken internet cable. However, regardless of the cause, all Google Chrome users see the dinosaur game instead of a barren error page when they are offline. It is possible to play this game without an internet connection.

Even though the game is nothing more than a simple runner integrated into the Google Chrome browser, the developers behind it deserve praise. The game's unique monochrome graphics and simplicity make it even more enjoyable, and it has amassed a large number of worldwide admirers since its release.

The primary character of the game is a Tyrannosaurus rex, the type of dinosaur typically depicted in films and books about dinosaurs. It is a carnivorous dinosaur from the Cretaceous period. In the game, the character must leap or duck to avoid pterodactyls and cacti while running through the desert. As the distance the dinosaur has traveled increases, so does its pace, making it challenging for an inexperienced player to achieve a high score, despite the game's apparent simplicity.

Surely, you're all intrigued about the evolution of the Chrome Dinosaur Game Online, so let's go back in time for a moment.

History Google Dinosaur Game
The development of the T-Rex video game began in September 2014, but the final enhancements were not made until December of that year. The modifications supported older Android operating system versions.

Sebastien Gabriel, one of the designers of the game, says that the T-rex was chosen as a funny reference to "prehistoric times", when highspeed internet wasn’t so widely spread.

The T-rex was also not chosen by coincidence. The offline Chrome Dino game (without internet) was also called "Project Bolan", referring to the popular singer Mark Bolan from the 70s band "T-Rex". While designing the game, the programmers considered giving Dino a grumble or a kick. In the end, these features were denied in order to preserve the game's "prehistoric" simplicity.
How to Play the Offline Chrome Dinosaur Game?
As mentioned above, the Chrome Dino Game is a free, endless runner game, where a T-Rex needs to avoid countless obstacles it encounters on its path, such as cactuses and pterodactyls. The dinosaur starts running automatically, as soon as the player pushes the space key or taps the dinosaur on a touchscreen, if the game is launched on a cell phone.

In order to avoid the cactuses, the player needs to make the dinosaur jump over them by pressing the space or up arrow key. To dodge the second obstacle (flying pterodactyls) the player needs to make it duck, by pressing the down arrow key. When the dinosaur crashes into either obstacle, the game stops and displays the score. Points are awarded based on the game's elapsed duration.

The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible. As the game progresses, the background color changes from white to black and vice versa (symbolizing day and night). In the built-in browser game, the T-Rex Dino runner will stop not only if it fails to dodge an obstacle, but also when the internet connection is restored.

You won’t be able to complete the whole game, because, as the developers put it, that would take approximately 17 million years. Just around that much time ago there were still Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaurs roaming our planet. Besides, since the speed of the game continuously increases, there’s a certain point when humans are physically unable to react to the obstacles. Even neural networks that were taught to play the Dino game eventually fail, because the frame refresh rate isn’t high enough. The speed of the dinosaur can get that high.
