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.[1][2] Dino Run was conceived by PixelJAM co-founder Richard Grillotti while he was sketching dinosaurs.[3]
Expanded and improved versions of the game were later released for Macintosh, PC, and Linux under the titles Dino Run SE (2011)[4][5] and Dino Run DX (2015).[6][7]
