From the main menu tap RIDE. Swipe the left pad down to step off into Walk. Drag the right pad down to go and use WHOA to rein in. Tilt the device to steer, and tap JUMP to hop logs.

Q drops into Walk and E shifts up. Hold W to go, S to rein in, A and D to lean, and Space to hop. A game controller works as well.

Gaits are your gears: Walk (1), Halt (N), Trot (2), Canter (3), Gallop (4) and Sprint (5). Halt is neutral, the mount stands still. Each higher gait is faster, but needs speed to pull well.

There are three ways. Slipped: too much rein in the middle of a corner. Thrown: too much speed in a deep lean. Reared over: too much push in a low gait, mostly on the raptor. Rein in before the bend and lean less when fast.

It ran out of breath. Holding the top gait at full stride drains the breath bar, and when it is empty the mount collapses. Drop a gait now and then and it recovers while you ride.

Tap JUMP (Space on Mac) just before the log. Trail-wide logs must be hopped; smaller logs at the side can be ridden around. The Oviraptor jumps highest.

Open Settings. You can change Tilt sensitivity, turn on Invert tilt, or switch to Steer by dragging.

Switch off Running head bob in Settings. The view then stays steady while your mount runs.

Velociraptor, Iguanodon and Protoceratops, all three trails and two natural colours for every dinosaur are free. The store sells three more dinosaurs (Ornithomimus, Oviraptor, Minmi) and colours for each dinosaur. Every purchase is one-time; there are no subscriptions and no ads.

That is the parental gate. DinoRyde is made for kids too, so a grown-up has to answer a multiplication question before every purchase. Three wrong answers close it.

Open MOUNT, then STORE, and tap Restore purchases. Sign in with the same Apple Account you bought with. Purchases work on iPhone, iPad and Mac with that account.

If Ask to Buy is on, a parent needs to approve it on their device. Once they do, the dinosaur or colour arrives on its own, even if the game was closed.

In-app purchases are switched off in Screen Time on this device. A parent can allow them in Settings, Screen Time, Content and Privacy Restrictions.

Refunds are handled by Apple. Request one at reportaproblem.apple.com. If a refund goes through, the colour returns to the free natural look.

No. On iPhone and iPad, sign in and your best score goes to the leaderboard and achievements unlock. Stay signed out and the game still keeps your records on the device. The Mac version has no Game Center yet.

On your device only. There is no DinoRyde account and no server. Deleting the game deletes your local records. Purchases are tied to your Apple Account and can always be restored.

Purchases do. Rides, best scores and settings stay on each device. Game Center scores and achievements follow your Apple Account on iPhone and iPad.

English, Slovak and Czech. This website speaks all three as well.

Haptics need an iPhone. iPad and Mac have no haptic engine, so the game skips them. On iPhone, check the Haptics switch in Settings.

An iPhone or iPad with iOS 18 or later, or a Mac with macOS 12 or later. The game plays in landscape and works fully offline.
