## What is Dino Buddies?

Drag, let go, and watch your dino squad bounce through a wall of blocks.

Dino Buddies is a one-thumb brick breaker you can play anywhere, with no wifi and no timer. Aim with a dotted guide, release, and a line of baby dinosaurs streams out and ricochets around the board. Every block shows a number. Hit it that many times and it pops. Break every block in the stage to win it.

HOW IT PLAYS
- Drag up from your dino to aim. The dotted line shows the first bounce, so the angle is something you read, not something you guess.
- Your whole squad fires as one stream. Where the first dino lands is where the next turn starts.
- After every turn the wall moves one row closer. If a block reaches the bottom line, you replay that stage.
- Hold a finger on the screen to fast-forward the end of a turn.

CLEAR THE STAGE, PICK AN UPGRADE
Win a stage and choose one of three upgrades that last for the whole run: harder hits, more dinos at the start of every stage, or an extra bomb. Lose a stage and you keep everything you picked, so every try gets you a little further.

BOMBS, BOOM BLOCKS AND MULTIPLIER GATES
- Tap the bomb button, then tap the board to blow a hole in the wall. It does not cost a turn.
- Boom blocks take out everything around them when they break.
- Fly through a x2 or x3 gate and your squad multiplies in mid-air.
- Pop a bubble to rescue a trapped dino and grow your squad.

30 STAGES TO CLEAR
Travel from a fern forest and a misty marsh to a volcano, a crystal grotto and a frozen tundra. Each stage is tougher than the last. Open the Levels screen to replay any stage you have already reached.

MADE TO BE PICKED UP
- Plays fully offline. No account, no sign-up.
- One hand, portrait, any length of session.
- This version has no ads and no in-app purchases.
