Evaluation

DAMNOSAUR launched on November 30, 2018 as a free-to-play arcade shooter. The game received a substantial update on December 30, 2023 — the "Happy Damnoversary" patch — adding four new weapons, four new power-ups, game modifiers, UI improvements, achievements, and other quality-of-life changes. Notably, the developer framed this update as a "big ol' send off update" for the game, explicitly stating they were getting busy working on "new projects, in new engines, in new ways." This language signals that the December 2023 update was intended as a farewell update for DAMNOSAUR itself, with the studio shifting focus to new work. The most recent developer communication came on October 14, 2025, when the team posted a security patch for a Unity Engine vulnerability. In that same post, they confirmed they are "still kicking and working away on things" and that they expect to have more to talk about "soon" — but this appears to refer to their new projects rather than new content for DAMNOSAUR, consistent with the December 2023 send-off framing. There are no unreleased DLC listings, no announced future content for DAMNOSAUR, and no roadmap for additional updates. The developer's own words in December 2023 treated that update as a concluding chapter for the game. The October 2025 security patch was maintenance-only with no content implications for DAMNOSAUR. The game launched and concluded as a complete, self-contained package with its final content delivered on December 30, 2023.

About this game

Take Down The Dino-Apocalypse
Dinosaurs have time travelled from their destined extinction to the present day. As Proh - and her brain eating friend, Gon - it's up to you to restore Jollywood to it's former glory. Seek out the dinos, fight them, and survive as long as you can. Maybe even save the world?

Too Many Dinos
From Pterodactyls to Triceratops, the enemies you encounter are all unique to one another and will challenge you in different ways. But that's not all, the pro-player will come across even more hectic versions of the dinos. That's right, those big lizards get even BIGGER!

Armed To The Teeth
Proh might be up against some big enemies, but she's not so defenceless herself. Eight different weapons will drop as you defeat enemies and they each have something special and unique about them. Whether they harness the power time, infused with the energy of the sun or just a really sweet revolver, the weapons each have something unique and fun about them.

Bring A Friend
If you have a friend over and they're getting sick of watching you play DAMNOSAUR, why not invite them to join in? DAMNOSAUR has local co-op with a few tweaks made to make it an enjoyable, chaotic experience you can share with a friend. So bring on in Broh, the Proh of an alternate dimension who's just as dino-butt kicking as the pink-haired girl herself.
