Waste a Work Day: Dino Run
Andrewh
Tuesday, January 19, 2010

After posting my first Waste a Work Day, a few Bitmobbers jumped in to join the Leader Board challenge. One in particular, Derek Lavigne, was caught playing Canabalt on Kongregate. Now Canabalt is a great game, and certainly has a a work day's worth of wasted time in it, but it has gotten a bit too much attention for our purposes here.

But it did inspire me to return to an old favorite, a Canabalt-esque romp through a pixelated universe, running from your inevitable doom. Dino Run, however, features a few more options, buttons, and interactivity than the one button Canabalt, and with a few achievements to boot, you'll get zero work done. I guarantee it.

Not a whole lot of change today, but some injected new blood at the bottom of the board will hopefully inspire some movement, especially with levels so easy to attain early on!

I didn't know Dino Run was on Kongregate. Challenge accepted.

Everything is on Kongregate! How do you think they have 23,000 games?

That's almost 65 years of wasted work days. I could retire on that.

My stupid work computer can't run that game! Argh! How am I ever going to move up leaderboard? I guess I should just go home and play...
