10 Tips to Beat Your High Score in the Dino Game

Runs in a jump-and-duck runner end for the same few reasons: a late jump, a missed duck, and panic after the pace goes up. These ten tips target each of them.

1. Watch the track, not your dinosaur. Obstacles matter; your dinosaur is always in the same place on screen.
2. Tap early, not late. An early jump still lands; a late one ends the run.
3. Use the halves of the screen deliberately. Left for jump, right for duck — do not mix them up when things speed up.
4. Duck only while the flyer is over you. Release immediately; a held duck costs the next jump.
5. Do not chase the candy counter. Collect what is on your line, not what is off it.
6. Treat every speed increase as a new game. Points come in tens, and the pace jumps with them. Play more conservatively right after a jump.
7. Keep the frame fullscreen. A bigger picture makes obstacle spacing easier to read.
8. Play in bursts. Five focused runs beat fifty tired ones.
9. Learn one obstacle type per session. Cactus-style ground obstacles first, flyers second.
10. Stop while a run is going well. The best score is the one you remember.

What counts as progress

Track two numbers: your best score, and where your last three runs ended. If the second number rises, the practice is working even when the best score does not.
