But there are lots of things that I feel need to be fixed. For example, swinging on vines requires precision. This could be a good thing, but it's not paired with the running aspect of the game. You can't swing on the vine if you are in it, you have to jump perfectly, and even then sometimes you don't make the vine jump. Another thing is the letters you collect along the way. They only spell out "NEWDINO" and are pretty hard to get if your looking for one in particular. What is even worse about that is you pretty much need them to survive, because spelling out all of them grants you an extra life, which is useless if you already have all 4 lives. So basically, they are useless early game and essential late game, which is kind of a pain. My one last thing I don't like about this game is how long it takes after you die to start running again. It's only a 3-4 second time period, but it's enough to make you want to quit out of the app. It's kind of like waiting in a fast DMV line of shame. Anyways, I thought this game was fun and found myself playing hours on end, with each frustration a new challenge to overcome. ### 3/5 — It O.k. *2013-12-31, version 1.1* It not really good ### 3/5 — Running Dino *2013-05-04, version 1.1* Despite frusturating multitasking this is a fun game. ### 3/5 — ok *2013-04-20, version 1.1* controls could be better ### 4/5 — Run, Dino, Run *2013-03-09, version 1.1* I love this game but sometimes its not working, and it does the same thing on other devices. ### 5/5 — Running Dino *2013-03-02, version 1.1* Running Dino is the best game i stay up all night on Running Dino i just can't get a naff of Running Dino. evan i mite get a iPad mini and i mite see if i can get it on there. if i can i will be playing on it all the time and it a exultant. ### 4/5 — Running dino *2013-02-26, version 1.1* Ok game , quite addictive ! ### 5/5 — Running Dino *2013-02-24, version 1.1* Awesome game!

Love it. Wish they could make it a little more harder. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2012-11-18* I would suggest this game because its challenging enough for my four year-old yet it's fun to just play in ur spare time. ### 5/5 — Running Dino *2012-10-15, version 1.1* Running Dino is great u should try it.if u haven't tried it ur crazy just kidding try it Its great ### 5/5 — Great!! *2012-09-13, version 1.1* This game is fun cute and addictive, ### 5/5 — Running Dino *2012-09-10, version 1.1* So addictive. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Running Dino *2013-05-19, version 1.1* Terrible, do not like it :-( ### 1/5 — Zero star *2012-09-12, version 1.1* Too hard. Too fast. No way to control difficulty level. ### 1/5 — It sucked... *2012-08-11, version 1.1* It was hard to control the character and it didnt jump far enough! So i deleted it after one game... ### 1/5 — Dumb *2012-07-10, version 1.1* Really really DUMB!!!! ### 1/5 — pass all the levels *2012-04-14, version 1.1* ESTUPID 👿💩👊💔😡😠make dis game more chalenching ### 1/5 — Pretty poor *2012-03-17, version 1.1* So boring!! Oven break is better!!! Makes annoying sounds too wouldn't say to install it! :( ### 1/5 — Multiple tap jumping pleaseeeeeeee! :-( *2011-12-08* These game developers will never get it will there. Double jumps simply make the game more realistic. To compare the difference all you need to do is play Rat on a Skateboard. When it comes to these jumping games Rat on a Skateboard is still the gold standard. It’s multiple tap jumping just makes it more realistic and more enjoyable. Without multiple tap jumping I cannot give this game a rating higher than one star. Sorry! :( ### 2/5 — Annoying *2013-02-02, version 1.1* It would be fun if there weren't huge gaps that are impossible to jump over. It's aggravating. ### 2/5 — Jumping Dash Dino has a clinch *2012-08-18* This game would be fun, if Dino would jump the double branches. Dino jumps the double branches more on the endless run, then he does on the prize run. Plus he has a clinch when he runs he twitches. It's addicting, but i will be deleting, because i will never get to the end with Dino not jumping the second rope. SO FIX IT! ### 2/5 — Ok *2012-06-15, version 1.1* I like it. It's fun cute and creative! But can you make biting the vines easier I think it is hard and I keep falling and it's frustrating so can you fix that ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 구매내역 삭제 부탁드립니다~! *2016-09-26* 구매내역 삭제 부탁드립니다~! ### 5/5 — Please update *2016-06-27* I really like this game because it's simple and actually fun.
