Community Insight:
It is great America is now unlocked but when is Asia gonna come into the scene? Ive been waiting forever since the game was unlocked! So please let us know when Asia is gonna be available.
Combines minesweeper-like search for fossil sites with an intriguing and informative set of dino bones from different continents to uncover. Easy mechanics, great graphics and lots of different tools to choose from. 10/10.
Now we need to wait for Asia, but hey, the fact that they FINALLY added a new continent is amazing.
We love this game, we had it on our tablet when we were 8 years old and redownloaded it today. Definitely nostalgic for us and its fun.
We absolutely love this game and everything about it. We have been playing awhile now and have completed all the continents but still waiting for Asia to unlock. We tried Dino Quest 2 while waiting and wasnt a fan ourselves, its nothing like this one. Please please update this game, we want to keep playing.
We H A T E T H E M O V M E N T >:(.
Ive finished all the continents in the game but Asia and we really want an update so we can play Asia in the game.
It NEEDS an update, three years? Come on either take it down or do something with it.
We love this game but for some reason no matter what we do there is no Trex amber to be discovered we need help Ive tried everything.
Can you add, Velociraptor, Deinocheirus, Saurolophus, Sinornithosaurus, Incisivosaurus, Futabosaurus, Confusciosornis, Dsungaripterus, Nemegtbaatar, Kamuysaurus, ammonite, and saichania to the game for Asia pls.
We really thought this game was dead, but apparently not. Thank you for finally updating with a new continent, and Ill be waiting for Asia patiently. Good luck.
Its a great time waster, if you are bored, play this, its easy to get coins. Getting amber to get the DNA of the Dino is a nice touch, better than practically every other Dino game Ive seen. Though it is hard to get the amber, and expensive to get X-Ray and TNT, its a good game and those things are not that big of a deal, good game and hope Asia comes out soon! -Cannon.
Hi, we have been a Dino lover for years. Our dream is to one become a famous paleontologist. This game is basically paleontology at work virtually. That is our review, thanks.
It maybe an okay game, but we want so much more than the dinosaurs we already got in the game so far! We need more! Tell the developers to update the game to include more dinosaurs.
So, Ive completed everything, and have found all of the ambers, except for Tyrannosaurus. On our map it shows that there is one additional dig site, which probably has the T.Rex Amber in it, but we cannot find it no matter what. Bug or rigged? Thank you :).
We love this game but theres one issue. WHERES ASIA AND AMERICA.
This game is pretty fun but they need to add the Americas and Asia to the game! They say coming soon but they still havent come yet! Just add the places plz.
T-Rex velociraptor brachiosaurus allosaurus.
We really cant believe it, you guys are finally doing it. It really puts a big smile on our face that you guys are gonna add the new continents. We cant wait to see the dinos youll have ready for us.
When we were younger we loved this game, and was really excited for the new areas in an update. But now Im back, plenty of years later and the amount of content hasnt changed. Im not sure if we should be angry or sad at that.
Our 6 year old paleontologist in training LOVES this game but he has demanded contact with the developers. He's ready for Asia and the Americas. Now.
We really really love this game! We found all the fossils, and all the ambers. The reason we only gave it 4 stars is because North America and South america are both locked and we have been waiting FOREVER for an update! Otherwise a great game and there is a Minecraft Easter Egg in one of the dig sites.
This game is amazing and we love it a lot!! We recommend-kids and teens should play this. But one thing that we don't like….there's no more spots to build/find fossils! They're locked..we wait and wait and no update for them. Please hurry quick to get those spots unlocked for us players! After all, we like this game and rate it 5 stars! Thank you.
We love this game but we dont like having to wait for our energy to fill up in all of your other games you dont add energy but you did it in this one we hate having to watch a million adds just for 16 energy it would be nice if you got rid of the energy and be able to play the game forever without videos we also want you to not ad as many adds as possible we also want you to add the two other states in soon thanks.
All this game really needs is an update. Its a wonderful game, and we really like the art style. But its kind of like false advertising when they say it offers 6 continents. Because it only offers 3. Dont bother trying to spend money to try to unlock these continents, it wont work. It also shows a Tyrannosaurus in the background, so we assume they were working on it. Itd be great if they would update it because we have some ideas for dinosaurs they could do for the americas and Asia. The dinosaurs for Asia could be Sinraptor, Guanlong, Olorotitan, Tarbosaurus, Tuojiangosaurus, Giganotoraptor, Rajasaurus, Velociraptor, Therizinosaurus, and Oviraptor. The dinosaurs for the Americas could be Giganotosaurus, Saurophaganax, Allosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Stegosaurus, Lambeosaurus, Utahraptor, Torosaurus, Sauroposiden, Argentinosaurus, Acrocanthosaurus, and Ornithomimus. So if they update the game and include at least some of the dinosaurs we have listed, then we will rate this app a five star, and most people that have also anticipated and update will probably do the same. Its just heartbreaking to think that awesome games like this can fade out of existence because nobody wants to play them anymore. Some are all because of no updates.
You guys should update it with Asia already! Love this game.
We used to love this game but then we were done with playing the game then we waited so long for an update it's been over 2 years and there's No update for the Countries of South and North America and Asia please update soon.
Easy and fun to play, we hope they keep updating.
This game is amazing one of the games that entertain us the most. But there is one thing… We think that you guys should update the animals to be scientifically accurate. We think that there should be feathers in some, and change the color on some of them, so that then they look more realistic. We would rate it five starts if you do.
We really like it but it needs a update.
Its a great game. Super fun and we love the style, but a lot of people are waiting for the Asia and America update, and so am we. Like we said before, its a great game, and we want more of it.
In Europe in a dig site there is a creeper face.
We love this game but once you find all the fossils and amber you can't do much and the lie is that you can only do Australia,Africa,and Asia.
When is this going to be updated? We're, and pretty much everyone else, is waiting for America and Asia to dig. What's going on??? Did the company go out of business? The least they could have done is let everyone know.
We've had this game forever and we have been waiting for an update for north and South America but it just won't happen. This would have gotten 5 stars if they added the other continents.
What's going on with the game? We worked really hard, bought a lot of in app purchases, and now the other continents won't open/unlock! Our grandson loves this game. He is so upset that he can't continue to play. If you're not going to complete work on the game, at least let your players know so they can delete the app and free up valuable space.
This game used to be exiting and fun, Until we realized that the developers are Jerks. They Continue to leave Europe and the Americas locked, and have kept us waiting for almost 3 years now. And the funny thing is, they still add ''Maintenance Updates'' to get rid of the other reviews like this one. The Developers haven't forgotten about this game, they're just too lazy to update it. Deleted.
We got this game when we were young and loved it but the developers are jerks they wont update the game to let Asia and the Americas to be unlock able maybe add the trex maybe the Brontosaurus the saber tooth tiger and quetzal.
We played this game and we were so excited to get to the Americas and Asia but it never happened. Dont get your hopes up you will only finish the first three.
Does NOT offer the 6 continents it promises. Dino Quest's description clearly states that you can choose "Asia" & "the Americas" to excavate, but the makers have not designed those 3 portions of the game (in the 2 years they've had to do it). The game is deceptively made to look as though those places will be available after you complete the other continents with the promise, "coming soon" & little padlocks. Possibly they intended to add these & never got around to it? Regardless, they are advertising something they don't offer, & that's not legal in the U.S. (So, PLEASE, do not spend money on this app trying to unlock those next levels, it won't work.) Also, contact information does not let you communicate with developers (an Italian company?). So there's no way to ask them for help or a refund. The best course of action is through the Federal Trade Commission/Consumer Protection Bureau. We wouldn't raise such a fuss, except that young children play these games–children who are too young to know they're being cheated.
This game was fun till you get to the point that once you get all dinos and the embers then what? Come back and clear each dig site? Ok then what? Nothing.
This game is super fun and we recommend for all ages boy or girl whoever enjoys Dinos really. BUT please update so that Asia and the Americas are unlocked! This game does not deserve to be left to fend for itself.
May 2, 2015 we love this game, we collected everything to collect in Australia, Africa, and Europe. We found all the fossils and the ambers. Now, there is literally nothing to do. You need to add more content because we have stopped playing for a while. February 6, 2016 we're here not even a year later. STILL NO UPDATE! What's the hold up??? We're not gonna play this game until the update comes out. We check to see if there are updates regularly.
We just finished all the content. It has been a lot of fun for our dinosaur loving 3 year old. We really hope that the 2 remaining areas will be opened soon.
SO fun and definitely 5 stars for a free game! But it's finite unless you start over. Waiting for the last two continents that say 'coming soon'.
Our son and we are trying to patiently wait for more content in an update! Please give us the last two continents.
We've completed Africa Australia and Europe but we've been wait for Asia and America it looks open but u have 2 wait.
The spinosaurus doesn't have enough counterbalance on the tail, it needs to be longer to avoid the spinosaurus falling on its head, going off of reality.
Plz let the update be soon It's been waaay to long Plz.
We LOVE this game! We love dinosaurs, paleontology, and the quests with it. Searching for bones and ambers is a great way to pass the time for us. Once you have the whole skeleton, you can use the amber to recreate the outside of the dinosaur too. We do agree that it should have new content soon though. We are nowhere near finishing it, considering we are just now in Africa, but it would be nice. We bet more people would leave reviews and download it if it was updated c:.
