• The game also shows message in Japanese if you fail

Dinosaur Game on Google's Chrome browser has been around for several years. To mark the Tokyo Olympics 2020 that are already underway, the search giant has added several tweaks to the classic game. While normally the friendly little T-rex on your screen jumps over cactus when you hit spacebar, a Reddit user has now spotted that the game has received a major change. Later, Google CEO Sundar Pichai also tweeted on the same, confirming the fun new minigames the classic game has on offer now.

Sharing a screenshot of the game, that features the T-rex and an Olympic torch, the Redditt user (u/Mr_Kris_ ) wrote, "On the Chrome Dino games, Google has added mini games related to I think the Olympics." So now, if you play the game even while your Internet is working, you will find a torch at the beginning of the game. If instead of jumping over it, you bump into it, the T-rex transforms into a different kind of runner, appearing to be more focussed with his eyes on the finishing line. In the first game, in fact, instead of jumping over the hurdles, the character ducks them. 

Users on Redditt tried their hand at the new Dinosaur Game and loved it. A user (u/ChiragK2020) also figured out that if you can make the T-rex bump into torches, you can "play other minigames."
