In an endless runner, a high score rarely comes from pressing buttons faster. It comes from noticing what is ahead, making a deliberate move and staying calm as the game speeds up.
That is especially true in a 3D dinosaur game. You need to clear the obstacle in front of you while also thinking about where the dinosaur will land and what may be coming next. These five tips can help you build a more consistent run.
1. Look beyond the nearest obstacle
It is tempting to focus only on the cactus or flying obstacle closest to the dinosaur. Try to look farther down the road instead. Seeing the next part of the course gives you more time to decide whether to jump, duck or wait.
2. Use a jump that fits the gap
A jump should clear the obstacle and leave you ready for what follows. On a keyboard, holding the jump button can create a higher jump, but extra height is not always useful if another obstacle is close. Use only as much jump as you need.
3. Remember that ducking can help you recover
Flying obstacles may require you to duck rather than jump. The Down Arrow can also help the dinosaur come down sooner after a jump. A controlled landing makes it easier to prepare for the next part of the run.
4. Change one thing after each run
When a run ends, think about what happened. Did you jump too early? Stay in the air too long? Miss a flying obstacle? Pick one thing to adjust on your next attempt. Changing one habit at a time makes it easier to learn which timing works.
5. Choose a realistic target
You can use Classic mode to work on your personal best, or try a Daily, Weekly or Monthly Challenge for a separate target. Pick one goal before you start. It gives each run a purpose and makes it easier to notice your progress.
