Prehistoric Platformer Dino Quake Launches Next Month

• Dino Quake is a retro platformer launching on June 19th
• Leap to the top, then smash down to create quakes that stun enemies
• Unlock new characters and discover multiple paths leading to tough boss fights

For a genre as saturated as platformers, a new game needs a unique mechanical hook to stand out. Dino Quake achieves this with its ground-shaking platforming mechanics and a prehistoric twist.

The core gameplay is straightforward: climb upward, then drop down to trigger an earthquake that stuns enemies. You then kick them away to defeat them. This means you must carefully plan both your ascent and your descent.

Unsurprisingly, Dino Quake promotes itself as “pure arcade gameplay.” However, it offers more than just a nostalgic throwback. Multiple paths let you explore diverse worlds, ensuring fresh discoveries each time you play.

As expected from a retro platformer, Dino Quake features fun chiptune music and beautifully crisp 16-bit visuals. With additional characters to unlock, the game offers more depth than its “pure arcade” tagline suggests.

Best of all, Dino Quake will be available on both iOS and Android starting June 19th. If you're eager to stomp some troublesome reptiles, this might be the game for you.
