Zen Dino is a neon-retro endless runner inspired by the beloved classic offline dinosaur game. Sprint through a glowing cyberpunk desert, leaping over cacti and ducking under low-flying pterodactyls with perfectly timed jumps and double-jumps. The longer you survive, the faster the world scrolls, making each session an escalating reflexes test. Simple to start, impossible to master — just one more run.

Your dino runs automatically. Press jump to leap over ground obstacles and duck to avoid flying ones. A well-timed double-jump clears large obstacles and gives you extra air time to plan your next move.
Desktop — Jump: Spacebar or Up Arrow key
Desktop — Duck: Down Arrow or S key
Desktop — Double Jump: Press Jump a second time while in the air
Mobile: Tap to jump, swipe down to duck; double-tap for double jump
