Dino City

The game uses a side-scrolling perspective with stages built around jumping, combat, and environmental hazards. Timmy handles basic movement, jumping, and close-range attacks, while the dinosaur companion offers stronger offensive options and helps with certain obstacles. Players advance through linear levels, overcoming enemy patterns, platform gaps, and traps while collecting items and reaching the stage end. Progress is stage-based, with retries from checkpoints or the beginning after a defeat.

Timmy

The playable cave boy, responsible for movement, jumping, and basic combat.

Dino

Timmy's dinosaur partner, providing stronger attacks and gameplay support.

Use Timmy for careful scouting and the dinosaur for tougher fights or sections that reward stronger attacks. Watch enemy patterns before jumping through tight platforming areas, and avoid rushing on moving platforms. Collect recovery items and extra lives whenever possible, since the later stages can be demanding. In hazard-heavy sections, prioritize survival over speed.

Tips and tricks

• Learn each character's attack range before choosing who to use.
• Take your time in precision platforming sections instead of forcing risky jumps.
• Search for hidden pickups to make later stages easier.
