Has the Pink Power Ranger called her Zord?

The Google Chrome dinosaur game is a fun way to kill some time and lower your blood pressure when the internet is acting up.

But ask yourself this: has the trundling T-Rex had it a little to easy? Is hopping over a few spiky desert cactus a bit too chill?

Google thinks so.

Pterodactyls, Ahoy!

A recent browser update introduces a new obstacle to the desolate desert landscape. An obstacle one with teeth, claws and plenty of bite: pterodactyls!

Gamers who clear enough cactus to reach 450 points will then contend with flying pterodactyls as well as cacti.

Squarrrrr! (…is a noise I’m assuming flying dinosaurs made).

Give the updated game a try yourself. How? Either turn your Wi-Fi off and try loading a page in Chrome, or enter the following website page into a new tab, and hit enter.

chrome://dino

Hit the space bar to trigger the game, and use the ‘up’ key to jump over and the ‘down’ key to duck them.

What obstacles, dinosaurs or power-ups would you throw into the mix if you were in charge?
