The 5 Backgrounds we made for the Dino Run DX STEAM Trading Cards set.
The Dino Run Mega Fan Art Contest: Week 5
Deadline extended to Tuesday, Aug 2nd
We’re extending the deadline ‘cause we’ve been really busy working on the new Hats & Colors UI/interface & Dino Run trading cards for STEAM!
Plus we haven’t received that many submissions, so, the prizes are easy pickings for a minimal amount of effort. Just sayin’…
SO, try your hand at fan art relating to any or all of the following:
- Spelunky by Mossmouth
- Hyper Light Drifter by Heart Machine
- N+ by Metanet Software
- Bastion by SuperGiant Games
- Machinarium by Amanita Design
And mashing them up with Dino Run, of course.
Whatever medium of creative expressions accepted. We just need to be able to share it, or a photo of it, online.
(The images above are our own portraits with the actual hats from the Dino Run Indie Collection. Contest entries don’t need to be in pixels at all)
PRIZES:
1st place
- “Prestige” treatment in Dino Run DX (includes unique hats, and special name treatments for the multiplayer lobby)
- 3 STEAM keys for Dino Run DX
- ??????
2nd place
- 2 STEAM keys for Dino Run DX

Hey, what’s going on? This is MJL from Studio DAP and I just wanted to let you guys know that we’re working on two brand new games. You’re gonna love em’.
The first one is a first-person action strategy game by the name of Dino Starve. I’ve managed to snag the audio from the game’s intro, so instead of telling you about the game I’m just gonna let you listen for yourself. Unfortunately I can’t show you the cinematic portion of it at this time, but I can tell you that there will be a screening for it soon.The other game I want to share with you is a top-down stealth-based time-attack game called Don’t Run. In this game you’ll be playing as a kid at a pool who is dead set on getting to where you need to be in a hurry, which is on the other side of the pool. If the life guards catch you running they’ll blow their whistle, forcing you to stop running for a while. If they catch you running too many times they’ll kick you out of the pool and it’s game over. If you run too fast you might slip and fall, which will cause you to get hurt and lose some health. Getting hurt will also slow you down. The more hurt you are the slower you will go, so you may really want to avoid that.
2ND PLACE winner from Week 1 of the Dino Run Mega Fan Art Contest:
“Dino Starve” (Audio) By Michael Lee
An alternate portrait of the Castle Crashing dinos from the Dino Run Indie Collection.
