On the day of her mission, she is teleported to the past via a time machine in a Nanosaur laboratory. Their high-ranking agent, a brown Deinonychus Nanosaur, is chosen to participate in this mission. The Nanosaur government offers a quest that involves time traveling into the year 65 million BC, where the five eggs of ancient dinosaur species must be retrieved and placed in a time portal leading to the present year. This method largely affected the intelligence of the various offspring, and slowly began to pose a threat to their once-intelligent society. However, as the Nanosaurs were the only species on Earth, inbreeding was the only possible choice of reproduction. The few dinosaurs resurrected were lent an unusual amount of intelligence from their human creators, leaving them to expand on their growing civilization. Their experimentation led them to resurrect the extinct dinosaur species however, their victory was short-lived, as a disastrous plague brought the end of their civilization itself. Their civilization originated from a group of human scientists who experimented with genetic engineering. ![]() In the distant year of 4122, a dinosaur species, Nanosaurs, rule the Earth. None of the five eggs needed, nor any additional jetpack fuel, have been collected, and 19 minutes and 28 seconds remain in the game. Nanosaur 2 was reviewed playing Version 1.0.The Nanosaur encounters a Stegosaurus during the first visit to the jungle area. (So why even include in the first place then?) Here's a tip: If you want to choose between each of the three levels, just triple tap the upper left corner during the game's main menu screen to access the cheat menu. It doesn't matter, though, because the game tells you to turn it off for smoother gameplay. The sound effects are great, but the music isn't very inspiring. Each level looks gorgeous, and the enemy characters and animations are nice to look at, as are the backgrounds and explosions. Pangea knows how to squeeze good graphics out the iPhone. Turning off Wi-Fi can help, but always having to reboot your device before playing to clear memory is just annoying. It's also frustrating to almost complete a level and have the game suddenly crash. Frustration is compounded by not having any sort of auto-save except at the end of stages, so if you have to get back to real life in the middle of a level, you're up a creek. The eggs are very small, so pay close attention. Without any icons to indicate where the eggs are (there can be up to 28), you could be flying around for an hour trying to find some of them. The onboard map is useless for spotting eggs, too. If you miss or drop an egg, you have to circle around and try to grab it again while playing bumper cars with the scenery. There is a neutral button to stabilize yourself, but with trees, branches and cannons everywhere, it's just too easy to repeatedly bump into things. I didn't like almost always being in motion. Even with the extra speed, though, flying seems a bit sluggish. Thrust increases your flight speed, which is good for getting out of tight spots in a hurry. Replenish it by seeking out shield icons. Flying into objects kills you instantly, but you do have a temporary shield to protect against incoming fire. You have just three lives per level, but extra live icons are hidden in each stage. Sometimes my fire button would get stuck and when I picked up an icon, it would fire all of the shots automatically. A default sonic scream is available if you run out of other weapons. Frag grenades, bombs, and heat-seeking missiles compliment your arsenal. You start with only twenty shots of your blaster weapon, but you can pick up other weapons by flying into icons scattered throughout the level. You have numerous weapons at your disposal. So, once you have an egg, you better fly to the nearest wormhole so the egg is banked. It does drop them if you're hit by laser fire or other dinos, or if you scrape along the ground. Just fly over the eggs and your Nanosaur automatically picks them up. ![]() Enemy dinosaurs such as raptors and brontosauruses try to stop you from collecting the egg. You blast your way through three levels: Forest, Desert and Swamp. Set in the future, you play a lone Nanosaur sent on a mission to retrieve stolen Nanosaur eggs and guarantee the survival of your species.
