This is a really, really beautiful little browser game that will bring a big cheesy grin of recognition to the haggard faces of any 8bit veterans who love blocky sprites and horizontal scrolling. Dino Run from PixelJam is a sort of racer-cum-platformer, where you control a dinosaur running away from an impending extinction event. You must collect eggs to boost your abilities, while navigating a terrain filled with enemy critters and other hazards. There's a multiplayer online mode as well.
The visuals recall the likes of Forbidden Forest, Drop Zone and Gribbly's Day Out. The music, too, is pure SID chip-style magic. Wonderful.
