After Dino Run: The Runners and Platformers on This Site Worth Your Time
Published · 1 min read
Dinosaur Game
The Chrome offline dinosaur, playable without unplugging anything. One button, a cactus, a pterodactyl. It is the minimalist cousin of Dino Run and still one of the best two-minute games there is.
Tunnel Rush and Slope Tunnel
First-person tube runners where the speed is the whole challenge. Reaction games rather than platformers; play them when you want your hands to do the thinking.
Temple Run 2
The mobile classic in the browser: swipe or arrow keys to turn, jump and slide through a temple that never ends. It has more variety than most runners and a proper upgrade tree.
OvO and OvO Dimensions
Precision platformers built for speedrunning: wall jumps, dives, slides, and levels that take twenty seconds when you know them and five minutes when you do not. The closest thing here to Dino Run's timing.
Level Devil
A platformer that cheats. Floors vanish, spikes appear where they were not, the exit moves. It is short, unfair and very funny.
Running Fred and Crossy Road
Running Fred is a gory 3D runner with a cheerful tone; Crossy Road is Frogger with chickens and a high score. Both load in seconds and are good between the longer games.
