Pico Dino
A reimagination of Google Chrome's offline game in Pico-8!
Features an expanded moveset and reimagined graphics!
It's based off this animation I made some time ago:

Great remake! Did 2 or 3 runs and got an 830, I love the animations you did and how fun and cartoonish the artstyle is. I also love how you can just slide after a ground pound, very cute and imaginative!

I'd say that this trounces the original in just about every way. I just wish that you could stomp on the enemies as shown in your original gif, it'd certainly make the game even more fun. However, I did run into a glitch, after a while, the objects get stuck on the right side of the screen and don't approach the dino anymore, meaning you can just keep running without having to worry about losing. I'm not sure if I did something to make that happen or if the game glitched out by itself.

Regardless, this is definitely the definitive version of the dino run game. And it's nice because I don't use Chrome anymore!

@WoopyBoiii Hey, so the best thing I can recommend you doing is to start small, don't make any big projects. Make things that take you make a day, a few days, or an afternoon. You can start by copying other games and adding your own flair. You don't have to make anything original, or impressive, or even good! Just embrace being bad at what you're doing and don't think too much about the future. Just mess around with shit, don't overstress about it. Most important is to have fun! Focus on the joy of creating games and not the end result. Hope that helps! :)

@Yolwoocle thanks for the thing but I have no coding experience, please help.
Edit: I am also on education edition on a chromebook so I can't really do a lot for copying the game and adding a flair.

This is my score on Pico Dino. I like the game, but the problem is I can't see anything when the background becomes darker because my PC and phone are on low brightness. My best score is 4230, but not on another website about Chrome Dino Game. I have liked these offline games for 1 year while working in the IT sector.

I loved the game... But there are some things that I didn't like (no offense) first... When the sky gets dark there are like a lot of points, I know it's like giving the sensation that the sky It's changing tone... but... I don't know, for example, set the default colors but the color change is slower...And also some suggestions... I would like the mountains when the sky gets dark to have the same color as the sky but keep the edge light... And, i want an title screen...Thats it ;) ...
