How to Play A Dinosaur's Tale
Quick start
Choose Archie, Reese, or Lorenzo for a one-player game and learn each dinosaur’s movement before trying two-player co-op. Keep both players moving together in co-op or the screen will prevent progress. Use the basic shot on ordinary mobsters, jump over traps and enemy fire, and save special ammunition for dense groups or bosses. Search side areas for health and weapon pickups, but regroup before scrolling forward so neither dinosaur is left behind.
Controls
D-pad: move and crouch. A: fire or use the current weapon. B: jump. C: cycle or activate the special weapon according to the pickup held. Start: pause. Two-player mode uses one controller per dinosaur, and both characters must advance in the same direction to move the stage forward.
