About Desktop Dinosaurs
Desktop Dinosaurs lets you watch hand-animated dinosaurs, inspired by 90s Tamagotchi, live on your desktop. You manage their environment and resources as you raise them through their lives and help them evolve, while giving them the attention they need.
Game modes
You can play in two modes:
- Overlay: watch and interact with dinosaurs directly on your Windows desktop.
- Fullscreen: use an animated background with dynamic lighting that reflects the current time of day.
Raise your dinosaurs
The game currently has six species: Stegosaurus, Triceratops, Tyranosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Parasaurolophus and Ankylosaurus. Dinosaurs eat, sleep and die; you can pet and name them, and their colors are randomly generated from 27 color sets.
A shop lets you buy dinosaur eggs, food, decorations and toys.
