How to Play Tom Mason's Dinosaurs for Hire
Quick start
Choose Archie, Lorenzo, or Reese and fight through comic-book stages filled with soldiers, machines, and oversized bosses. Keep the gun firing while moving, crouch under high shots, and use jumps to pass enemy lines rather than absorbing damage. Collect weapon upgrades and health, learn which attacks can be destroyed, and in two-player mode cover opposite sides of the screen so both dinosaurs are not hit by the same volley.
Controls
D-pad: move, crouch, and aim where the stage permits. A: switch or use the current secondary weapon. B: fire the main weapon. C: jump. Start: pause. Hold fire while moving and combine direction with jump for longer arcs. In two-player play, each controller operates one dinosaur and both share the scrolling screen.
