What is the Dino Game on Google Chrome?

The dino game is a simple survival game developed by Google and built right into the Google Chrome web browser. In this game, the player guides a pixelated dinosaur across a side-scrolling, obstacle-littered landscape. The farther you get into the game, the harder it will become to progress; the obstacles will not only increase in number, but they will also start coming at you at an exponentially faster rate!

The goal of the game is, quite literally, just to make it as far as you possibly can before “dying” (hitting an obstacle). This game is playable offline and was developed to entertain anyone who tried to access Google but didn’t have any internet access.
