Dino Run SE is a horizontal scrolling action game for the Mac. The premise of the game is simple - escape extinction.
Throughout the level, you will see eggs that you need to save and small animals that you can run over for points. There are a few extras that you can achieve by doing specific things. There is an extra called "Doom surf extra". It gives you points for being too close to the doom cloud for a few seconds. I didn't try to collect these extra points intentionally, since one little missed jump will make you lose, but it is a nice boost when you just barely make it out of the cloud alive.
Dino Run SE can be played by yourself or against up to three opponents over the Internet. There are plenty of customization options for your dino, like different hats and colors.
In conclusion, Dino Run SE is a nice game. It features intentionally pixelated graphics; meaning it was a design choice and not bad design. The graphics are OK, I guess. The game is fun to play and it can get challenging.
Pros

A simple game with the right amount of extras. I like this retro style.
