Good Dinosaur: Dino Crossing

Charming arcade adventure starring beloved characters from The Good Dinosaur.

Overview

Good Dinosaur: Dino Crossing brings the world of Disney-Pixar’s film to mobile devices, offering an arcade-style experience with familiar faces like Arlo and Spot. Designed for players of all ages, the game combines fast-paced crossing challenges with collectables and character progression, providing both fans of the movie and newcomers with plenty to enjoy.

Gameplay and Modes

The core mechanics draw inspiration from classic arcade gameplay, requiring players to navigate a series of hazardous paths while dodging obstacles, wildlife, and treacherous terrain. Players must guide Arlo and friends safely across rivers, rocky trails, and herds of dinosaurs, all while collecting berries and useful power-ups.

Good Dinosaur: Dino Crossing features three distinct game modes:

• Journey Mode: Dive into 10 levels of adventure, each introducing unique challenges such as swift rivers, swooping pterodactyls, and unpredictable wildlife. New areas are unlocked by overcoming stage-specific obstacles, keeping gameplay fresh as progress is made.
• Endless Mode: Unlockable after completing the early levels of Journey Mode, this mode challenges players to last as long as possible in a dynamically generated environment. Quick reflexes and strategic timing are essential for climbing the leaderboards.
• Berry Bonanza Mode: Focuses on collecting as many berries and power-ups as possible under time constraints, adding an extra layer of challenge for competitive players or completionists.

Characters and Progression

Players can collect berries throughout each mode, which serve as in-game currency to unlock a variety of characters from the film, such as Ramsey, Butch, and Nash. Each character brings its own animations and personality to the experience, providing incentive for continued play.

Rewards and Social Features

The game rewards daily logins with a gopher-hole mini-game, offering a chance to earn additional berries, power-ups, or other bonuses. Integration with Facebook enables sharing achievements and high scores with friends, along with automatic snapshots at the completion of every stage, perfect for sharing memorable moments.

Monetization and Advertising

Good Dinosaur: Dino Crossing is free to download and play, featuring optional video ads for those who wish to continue after a failed attempt, as well as targeted and third-party advertising consistent with family-friendly guidelines.
