Trog Smash Island is a platform jumping mobile game where you get to play as a dinosaur (and several other prehistoric creatures), eating pineapples and dodging cavemen.
You play as a little dinosaur that needs to jump up onto platforms high above them, moving up the screen in a quick and safe manner. When you get up a level, you will gain another point. This is the only way to get a higher score.
Jumping up platforms would be too simple, so as a dinosaur, you can do a single jump, but that’s not high enough to actually make it to the next platform. Instead, you need to jump up, then tap again to slam down on top of mushroom, platforms, or cavemen. Jumping up and slamming down on open ground will just stun your dinosaur, making it so that you cannot move for a few moments.
Time does matter, despite there not being a timer, as the bottom of the screen has a Super bar, which can be slowly filled up by eating pineapples. If you take too long to eat another pineapple, this bar starts to decrease, so your time is really limited. If it does completely fill up, you turn into a large, adult dinosaur that can jump up a full platform without slamming down onto something and that can eat a caveman in their path. The only downside to this is that once you are back to your normal size, some of the cavemen might be running around the platform, making them much more challenging to jump onto.
If you aren’t careful with where you’re jumping up as a normal dinosaur, cavemen can hit you with their clubs, instantly ending the game. They can also do this if you run into them, making them dangerous creatures to deal with. Despite these dangers, Trog Smash Island is a fun little mobile game with a lot of positives if you like this sort of game. It’s also worth mentioning if you don’t care for dinosaurs, there are a bunch of other animals to choose from and play with.
