An endless runner you steer with words
Dino Dash is a side-scrolling runner. Cacti, rocks and logs roll toward your dinosaur, each carrying a word. Type the word in time and your dino leaps clear; miss it and you lose one of three hearts. The desert speeds up the longer you survive.
Because the closest obstacle always matters most, you learn to read ahead and finish words cleanly under gentle pressure, which is exactly how real typing speed grows.
