100% Achievement Review: A quick review based on my experience completing all the (available) achievements. [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45897386/] Feel free to follow my curator for more 100% reviews! Title: Dino Run DX Summary: 2D dinosaur racing game Personal notes: Dino Run DX is a unique game where you play a young dinosaur tasked with outrunning the explosion of the meteor impact that wiped out most of the earth. The game-play is pretty simple and repetitive but enjoyable. You are able to slowly upgrade your dinosaur's stats as well as customise the skin and hat of your Dino. I will admit the music after a while was quite repetitive to the point I turned on my own but the sound effects were well done. The biomes/levels were cool and a nice change of pace from one another. I remember playing this game years ago and thought I would return to it on steam and I enjoyed it. Wasn't as exciting as I thought as a kid but had fun nonetheless. I did run into a few bugs like clipping into the terrain which while annoying isn't anything major. Achievement wise this game is pretty easy with a few exceptions such as the one's below, mostly the Insane levels being difficult especially if you don't have a fully upgraded dino. All in all this game is a fun short blast but for its asking price its pretty good. Time it took to complete: 9hrs Most difficult achievement(s): - One Hot Minute (60 Second Doom Surf) - Mega Raptor Supreme ( All Insane Speedruns) - Doombringer (Beat Insane Halloween Hellrun) - Bronzed/Silervado/Goldie (All Bronze/Silver/Gold Trophies) Difficulty rating: ★★★★☆☆☆☆☆☆ 4/10 Overall rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆ 6/10

Dino Run DX is an indie classic that takes the simple concept of running from extinction and turns it into an exhilarating, fast-paced experience. This game puts you in control of a tiny raptor racing against the inevitable doom of an incoming asteroid impact. The pixel art is charming, the music is catchy, and the sense of urgency keeps every run thrilling. The controls are tight, allowing for smooth jumping, sprinting, through the rugged, prehistoric landscape. This game could never get old until you max out your dino’s stats and have no one to play with anymore. Speaking of which multiplayer adds another layer of chaos, making it even more fun to see who can truly survive the longest. But let’s talk about what really stands out... the dinosaurs themselves. Their movements, their animations… and most importantly, their feet. Have you noticed how perfect they are? The way they plant down on the ground with every stride, gripping the terrain with prehistoric precision? The raw, clawed elegance of those raptor toes? It’s mesmerizing. I mean, just look at the pixel feet- all powerful, built for gripping and slashing, for survival. Every sprint forward, every leap through the air, you can feel the primal strength in those clawed beauties. The way they dig into the dirt, leaving perfect little imprints in the soft, pixelated soil. It’s almost poetic. It’s ART. Honestly, why aren’t we talking more about dino feet? Scientists have spent years studying fossils, but do they truly appreciate the majesty of a three-toed footprint pressed into the earth? A raptor’s toes aren’t just for running... no, they are a symbol, a work of prehistoric perfection. The curves, the pads, the talon placement AUUUGGHHH it all makes sense, it all feels right. When Pixeljam releases the sequel, they NEED to add more foot customization. Different talon shapes, foot textures, scale patterns, maybe even a zoom feature to get a proper look at those glorious dino digits. I need it. The world needs it. 10/10 game. Would run, jump, and admire those perfect prehistoric feet again. Also dinosaur!!! :D buy the game NOOWWWWW. <3333
