Help the Blue Dinosaur catch the vegetables! The goal is to catch as many vegetables as you can. But watch out: The game gets more and more hectic the longer you play. Drop just three vegetables and it's game over! The game's soundtrack features 13 verses of the dino-song from the swiss-german "De Blaui Dino" children's stories, by Gschichtefritz. Each type of vegetable is coupled with a particular instrument in the soundtrack. Shortly before a vegetable becomes visible on the screen, you'll hear its associated instrument fade in. When playing with headphones, you can even 'hear' the positions of the vegetables - left, right, near and far! Once you catch a vegetable, its instrument fades out. The game has three modes: - EASY: vegetables will always fall at a constant speed to one of three positions: left, middle and right. This level is easy to play for even very small children. - MEDIUM: vegetables fall vertically at arbitrary positions. - HARD: vegetables fall diagonally, bounce off the edge of the screen and are affected by gravity and friction. Blue Dino is a UniversalApp for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tori Note holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tori Note has 139 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Blue Dino's written reviews are positive against 72% of Tori Note's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Blue Dino ships an update every 7 months, Tori Note monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
