Dino Bros

Dino Bros is a puzzle-platform game from Fancade where two dinosaur brothers move at the same time. Your goal is to collect every coin and guide both dinosaurs safely to the exit. The unusual part is that one movement command affects both characters, so a safe step for one dinosaur can put the other in the wrong position. I find checking both sides of the level before moving more useful than concentrating on only the dinosaur closest to the exit.

About Dino Bros

Dino Bros stars two dinosaur siblings who must work together to complete each map.

They are inseparable in a very literal gameplay sense. Both dinosaurs respond to the same movement input, meaning they normally travel in sync. Platforms, walls and differences in their positions can be used to change the distance between them and set up a route toward the exit.

The objective is not simply to get one dinosaur home. Both need to make it through the puzzle.

Latest Dino Bros Version

The current Poki browser listing gives January 2024 as both its release date and latest platform update.

As of September 2026, Poki shows a 4.4 rating from roughly 65,000 votes and confirms compatibility with desktop computers, phones and tablets.

The separate mobile edition was updated on September 17, 2024 and contains 100 hand-made levels.

Dino Bros Gameplay

Every stage asks you to manage two characters at once.

Pressing a movement direction causes both dinosaurs to respond together. The challenge is arranging them so they can collect all available coins and still reach the exit.

The basic loop is:

Move both dinos → Adjust their positions → Collect every coin → Reach the exit

Controls

• Arrow Keys: Move
• WASD: Alternative movement controls
• Mouse Click and Drag: Move using the mouse
• Touch / Swipe: Used in touch-based versions

Poki currently supports keyboard and mouse movement, while Fancade’s own playable version describes the central interaction as swiping to move both brothers.

The MDN KeyboardEvent documentation provides useful background on keyboard input in browser games.

Two Dinosaurs, One Movement

The synchronized movement system is what makes Dino Bros different from an ordinary platform game.

You are not switching between two independently controlled characters. A single movement affects both.

That means you need to think about questions such as:

• Where will the taller dinosaur land?
• Will the smaller dinosaur hit a wall?
• Can a platform stop one while the other keeps moving?
• Will the next move bring them closer together or farther apart?

This turns basic movement into a spatial puzzle.

Different Dinosaur Heights

The two dinosaurs have different heights.

The Fancade documentation specifically notes this difference, and later puzzles use the characters’ positions and surrounding structures to make their shared movement more challenging.

Their different sizes can affect how each dinosaur interacts with parts of a level even though both receive the same movement command.

Collecting Every Coin

Coins are part of the main objective.

The current Poki description says you need to collect all the coins before successfully completing the route to the exit.

This means simply finding a quick route to the door may not be enough.

I find checking the coin locations before making the first few moves useful because one early positioning decision can make a later coin awkward to reach.

Using Walls And Platforms

Walls and platforms are not only obstacles.

They can help separate or reposition the dinosaurs because one character may become blocked while the other continues moving.

Poki specifically recommends using buildings and platforms to adjust the distance and position between the brothers.

That is one of the most important ideas to understand in Dino Bros.

Falling Platforms

Later puzzles introduce platforms that can fall after a certain number of moves.

The Fancade documentation identifies these as one of the mechanics appearing in more advanced stages.

These platforms add another planning problem because a route that works once may no longer remain available after additional movement.

Moving Platforms And Buttons

Buttons also appear in later levels.

According to Fancade’s game documentation, some buttons can move platforms upward, changing the layout and opening new routes for the dinosaurs.

This means certain stages require more than finding a path through a fixed environment. You may first need to change the environment itself.

Periodic Obstacles

Later levels also introduce periodically activating hazards in the virtual puzzle environment.

These add a timing element to the normal position-based puzzles, although Dino Bros remains primarily about planning and synchronized movement rather than fast reaction controls.

Dino Bros Strategy

The best habit is to watch both dinosaurs before every important move.

A useful approach is:

1. Locate every coin.
2. Find the exit.
3. Check what blocks each dinosaur.
4. Identify platforms that can separate their positions.
5. Think about where both characters will end up after the next move.
6. Only then commit to the input.

The mistake I would avoid is solving the path for one dinosaur first and assuming the second one will naturally follow.

Adjusting The Distance Between The Bros

Many puzzles become easier once you stop trying to keep the dinosaurs directly beside one another.

Because both move together, walls and platforms can temporarily stop one while the other changes position. Poki specifically highlights this technique as a core part of solving the levels.

Once their spacing is correct, the same synchronized controls that originally caused the problem can guide both toward the goal.

Dino Bros Levels

The standalone Android and iOS versions contain 100 hand-made levels. Both official mobile stores advertise this number.

The levels gradually build on the synchronized-movement concept rather than introducing a completely different control scheme.

This makes progression feel like learning increasingly clever ways to use the same basic rule.

Mobile Version

Dino Bros is available as a separate Fancade mobile app.

Google Play currently lists:

• 100K+ downloads
• 100 hand-made levels
• Offline play
• Android and Windows availability
• September 17, 2024 as the latest listed update

The App Store also offers Dino Bros for iPhone and iPad and describes the same 100-level structure.

Who Created Dino Bros?

Dino Bros was created by Martin Magni, the creator behind Fancade.

Fancade’s own game page directly credits Martin Magni, while Poki presents the developer under the Fancade studio name.

Martin Magni’s official site also features Dino Bros alongside games such as Drive Mad, Fancade and Roper.

The official Martin Magni website provides more information about his games and Fancade projects.

Dino Bros And Ditto

Fancade’s documentation notes that Dino Bros is based on an earlier Martin Magni game called Ditto.

Both use the idea of controlling multiple characters through shared movement, but Dino Bros develops the concept around its two dinosaur characters and coin-collecting levels.

Browser And Platforms

Dino Bros currently supports:

• Desktop
• Phone
• Tablet
• Android
• iPhone
• iPad
• Windows through the Google Play listing

Poki confirms desktop, phone and tablet browser support, while Google Play and the App Store provide the standalone mobile versions.

Games Like Dino Bros

Fancade has created several other compact puzzle and platform games, including:

• Drive Mad
• Stacktris
• Monster Tracks
• Recoil
• Odd Bot Out
• Speed King
• Gobble
• Roper

Poki lists these titles alongside Dino Bros under Fancade.

For another browser game where unusual movement and positioning matter, Get On Top uses physics and balance instead of synchronized dinosaur movement.

About This Game

Dino Bros works because one simple control rule creates a surprisingly deep puzzle.

Both dinosaurs move together, but walls, platforms, different heights and later environmental mechanics make their final positions increasingly difficult to predict.

Collecting every coin also prevents players from simply rushing toward the exit. You need to understand the full layout and find a route that works for both brothers.

The mobile edition’s 100 hand-made stages provide a much longer progression path for players who enjoy the central idea.
