A lane defence game with over a hundred levels and a genuine composition problem underneath it. Units are placed to hold a line, traps are triggered manually, and the waves arrive with different mixes — fast and numerous, slow and armoured, ranged — so a layout that cleared the last level frequently fails the next one outright. The traps are what raise it above the genre baseline. Because they are triggered rather than automatic, the good players are not the ones with the best units but the ones who spend a trap at the moment a wave bunches up, and that turns each level into a small timing exercise on top of the placement puzzle. Upgrades carry between levels, so a failed attempt still advances you, and the escalation is by composition rather than by inflating numbers — which keeps the whole run thinking rather than grinding.

How to play Dino Age
- Read the incoming wave before spending; composition decides the layout.
- Cover the whole lane cheaply before upgrading any single position.
- Hold traps until the wave bunches; a trap spent on one enemy is a trap wasted.
- Spend upgrades on the units you actually place rather than spreading them.
- Retry with a different composition rather than the same one played more carefully.
Tips
- Ranged units behind melee is the default arrangement and it works until armour arrives.
- A trap saved for the second half of a wave is usually worth more than one used at the start.
- If a level fails at the same wave repeatedly, the answer is different units, not more of them.
