A unique twist on the infinite runner where you play as a swimming dinosaur. Start as Bronto – the little brontosaurus with a pure love for diving and flipping – then unlock new players, enemies, and levels with the points you earn. Life as a dinosaur could get pretty boring. Especially if you were stuck on land, like Bronto the tiny brontosaurus. So one day he decided to try something new: swimming. After working up his courage, he dove into the ocean and discovered a whole new world of excitement. His life would never be the same. Soon other land-based dinosaurs saw how much fun he was having and decided to try it for themselves... Play as eight unique dinosaurs as they swim through unfamiliar prehistoric waters. Earn points for collecting falling lava rocks, latching onto flying pterosaurs, performing acrobatics in the air, and escaping from gigantic deep-ocean dinosaurs. All while dodging different species of vicious sea dinos. Free in the App Store. Upgrade to the ad-free full version to gain access to all the dinosaurs and levels. FEATURES: *Simple, intuitive one-touch controls. *Thirty-two dinosaurs to collect. *Swim your way through fifty missions and four different levels. *An original orchestral soundtrack by Nicholas Jacobson-Larson. (NOTE: for best performance make sure you have the latest version of iOS installed. Also, on older Apple devices the game might suffer some performance issues. It runs smoothest on newer models.)

Verdict

The call

Bronto and Shark Attack both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Bronto's written reviews are positive against 54% of Shark Attack's. Bronto also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). Shark Attack's advantage is ratings volume (10K vs 8). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
