Dino Age is a side-scrolling action-strategy tower defense game where you command a legion of dinosaurs to protect a dino egg from waves of aggressive cave dwellers. Play for free directly in your browser, with vibrant cartoon graphics, over 100 levels across different islands, and increasing difficulty as the waves become larger. Combine deploying dino units, firing special shots (rock, volcanic bombs, ice shards), and managing resources to survive.
Gameplay
The screen is divided into two parts: On the left is your egg (health is clearly displayed), and on the right is a continuous wave of primitive people. Whenever you have enough mana (automatically regenerates over time), click/tap the dinosaur icon to release them into battle automatically. Simultaneously, use your mouse/finger to drag and drop various "special projectiles" (regular rocks, volcanic bombs, ice shards, fire, etc.) directly into the enemy crowd to inflict area damage or slow them down.
The cave dwellers become more numerous later on, sometimes wielding shields, fire, or even mammoths → you need to coordinate with tank dinosaurs to block the front and use AOE attacks to clear the rear.
Losing all health on your eggs means you lose → you have to replay that level.
Winning a level earns coins and diamonds → use them to upgrade dinosaur power and unlock new abilities.

Tips & Tricks for Easy Wins and 3-Stars
- Early Levels: Just continuously deploying Ankylosaurus and regular rocks is enough.
- From Level 20+: Prioritize upgrading Triceratops as a meat wall, combined with volcanic bombs to clear waves.
- Always save mana for volcanic bombs when you see a crowd of more than 15 dinosaurs.
- Don't spam all your money to deploy dinosaurs too early → you won't have money for the next upgrade.
- T-Rex Ultimate: Use it at the right time during a boss wave to wipe out the enemy and get 3 stars most easily.
