It’s DINOvember here at Pixeljam too! Our resident dinos came out last night to enjoy some epic dinosaur action & adventure!
The Dino Run 2 Art Contest begins TODAY!
Over the years we’ve been fortunate enough to collect an enormous wealth of fan-created drawings, pixel art, comics and paintings from our amazing community. We love it! It keeps us inspired and we’d like to see even more for Dino Run 2!
Submissions can be anything Dino Run 2 related, in any digital medium and any style. We’ll choose our favorites and give away some awesome prizes including the game itself. Please keep submissions family friendly. For those of you who want to be involved, this is also a fantastic opportunity to get your ideas, art, and concepts for Dino Run 2 on paper and share them with the community. Once the contest is over we’ll create an online gallery for all to see.

So, just what is Dino Run 2 going to be like?
Check out this detailed Cretacious level design concept by Jeffrey Nielson for what is just a very small example of the sort of gameplay you can expect in Dino Run 2.
And don’t forget the Pyroclastic Wall of Doom on your dino tail! Stay one stomp or flap ahead of your own extinction & explore quickly! Paleolithic and Modern Day levels design examples coming soon.
Visit our Dino Run 2 kickstarter right now if you think you or your kids or friends might be into this sort of thing. :)
Yes!! The Dino Run 2 Kickstarter 3D-Printed Super-Egg Reward Revealed!
For lucky backers of the ARCHAEOLOGIST reward tier (and above), we will make an actual 2-color 3D-printed Super-Egg for you to hold and caress for years to come. :)
This is a concept image (by Terrence Simpson), but the final Super-Eggs will look much like this.
Also, we’re upgrading the stated ARCHAEOLOGIST reward from a 1" Super-Egg to a 1", 2" or 3" 3D Printed Super-Egg, backer’s choice.
Is this exciting? Yes it is!! Help us spread the word by sharing, tweeting, tumbling and generally yelling about it! We made it real easy here: http://pixeljam.com/share
On another note, this is similar to, but not to be confused with the HATCHLING reward tier ($175). The HATCHLING includes an even larger, hatchable, 3D-printed Super-Egg; it has a 3D-printed 2-color Pixel Dinosaur inside. Nice!! Only 9 of these left, by the way..
If you haven’t checked out the Dino Run 2 Kickstarter yet, please do! Things are getting exciting!
And here are some of the Pterodactyl customization possibilities we’ve started to come up with. They may also be able to wear hats in the end, but for now we’re focusing on different skins, head designs and colors. How cute!
Help our Dino Run 2 Kickstarter cross the finish line and you too will be able to dress up your dactyl and escape extinction with your friends.
The next Dino Run 2 Playable Dino: Pterodactyl Revealed!
That’s right, we’ve got a playable Dactyl planned for Dino Run 2! Choose your skin, soar through the clouds, dodge larger winged beasts, dive down to feed or pick up & toss smaller dinos. Gobble cavemen & modern day humans just for fun! Careful not to crash though, the dactyl is not a very fast runner..
You too can play as a Pterodactyl in Dino Run 2, if our Kickstarter campaign is successful! Please check it out, back for sweet rewards, & tell your friends!
This will be an epic dinosaur racing/platforming/adventure game like no other that has come before (not even the original Dino Run).
In case any of you Dino Run fans missed this Pixeljam Comic we posted a while ago, here it is again!
And for all Dino Run enthusiasts & everyone else, please check out our Dino Run 2 Kickstarter project. You can help us craft and bring this highly evolved & epic sequel to our classic Dino Run game into the world. :)
Here are a few Parasaurolophus customization ideas! Skin colors and patters, different head shapes and styles, and a nice warm scarf. :) We are excited to come up with many para-specific accessories as well as more head/color/pattern variations. Dress your para up!
The Parasaurolophus will be a playable dinosaur in Dino Run 2!
Here are some Parasaurolophus sketches for the feature illustration in the last post, by Emily Lubanko.
Please check out our Dino Run 2 Kickstarter page! If we can make it, this will a game crafted from our collective love, passion and excitement, and we are certain it will add beauty and goodness to the world! It’ll be a lot of fun to play as well. :)
It’s the next playable dinosaur planned for Dino Run 2: The Parasaurolophus. Man, can this guy jump! He’s pretty good at running too, and giving rides to smaller dinosaurs.
If you don’t hate dinosaurs, and you love an epic dinosaur exploring, racing, platforming adventure game in beautiful pixel art, please visit our Dino Run 2 Kickstarter page and be a part of making pre-history!
