If you have lived in countries with not-so-stable internet. You must have seen this page if you use chrome during the downtimes.
Most of you know that there is a little easter egg hidden in this page, if you click or tap on the little dianasour, a game should start.
This has been in chrome for years now. For those who are still living under a rock, it is an endless runner game implemented by google to pass some time during those internet connection errors. I have played it a few times on my phone as well.
You get spawned in a desert and have to jump over cacti and birds. You can under some birds as well.
Here are some less-known facts about the game.
The maximum score one can get is 99999. (My high score is 4330 only)
You can also play it online by going to "chrome://dino" on your browser and you don't have to worry about your internet getting back in the middle of a run (It sucks sometimes haha)
You can hack the game and change speed, giving invisibility etc by going to inspect mode and fiddling with the code. Here is a youtube video if you are interested and want to boast about your high score to a friend.
"We built it to max out at approximately 17 million years, the same amount of time that the T-rex was alive on Earth… but we feel like your spacebar may not be the same afterwards." - Edward, game design team member, on being asked how much time it would take to complete this game.
If you somehow manage to reach the 99999 scores (you are definitely hacking), it will reset the counter to 0 again.
Wanna see me struggle with it?
Here is my attempt at setting a new personal high score. But I could only get half of what I scored during a great run one day.
I just play it for fun while waiting for my internet to come back. Now that I have a wired connection, I don't get much chance of playing it.
Only the other day, I shared this with a kid who was not aware of this game. It just shows that internet connectivity has grown many folds in India during the last few years.
So, what are you waiting for? go to "chrome://dino" and try to beat your high score. You will win 1 Hive from me if you manage to beat my high score (up to 3 winners)😉. And I need some proof as well. It is so damm easy to change the high score from developers mode. 😂
Thanks for reading...
Until Next time
