» At the outset of the game after the introduction, you can choose to play as Ryuuta and his triceratops Gabu or Rex and his carnotaurus named Ace. You'll notice that Ryuuta wears a red headband with horns protruding from the front to show his solidarity with the triceratops species. When needed, the horns serve double duty as night lights. After selecting either hero, their dinosaur control mechanisms are shown and the first battle begins against Dr. Sonoida.

» If you chose Ryuuta, your triceratops named Gabu is pitted against a raptor and a short tutorial ensues. Dr Reece Drake provides the emcee duties and walks you through the basics of the game. Attack are chosen by tapping on an icon with the janken symbols for rock, scissors, and paper. Tap on rock while your opponent throws out scissors and the two dinosaurs will walk towards each other. Gabu ducks an attack and then swings its tail around to knock the raptor down. Next, follow the instructions and tap on scissors as the opponent chooses paper and Gabu lunges forward to knock the raptor down and win the bout.

» In the next scene, Alpha Gang are commiserating and making plans. Following that, Ryuuta and Rex are inside a laboratory where workers are milling about. Talk to all of them and then speak to Reece again. An automatic sequence players where the boys appear in the southeast area of the lab and enter the portal that awaits. They blink out of the lab and into town where Reece keeps in touch with the boys by way of a visual comm-link.

» Explore the town and speak to the folk standing around to get some clues. Next, head north and speak to the guy wearing a cap. He'll step aside and allow you passage out of town where a crew of Alpha Gang members are waiting. A battle opens up where Gabu goes up against a raptor.

» If you both throw out rock, both will take about 40 points of damage. Throw out scissors to its paper and it'll drop down to about 50HP. Finish it off with paper to cover rock and it'll be destroyed. You'll return to town where your reward is a fossil unearthing mini game where the stylus is used to scratch the surface of some rock to reveal the skeleton of a dinosaur underneath. Once unearthed, it'll be brought back to life and entered into your bestiary.

» Losing a match doesn't mean the end of the game. You'll just return to town and resume your adventure without any major penalties or restrictions. This is understandable given that the janken battles are entirely random and it would be too onerous to start all over again from scratch after losing a completely random walk. Despite the seeming randomness of the battles, there are discernible patterns from time to time. For example, if you guess correctly with scissors to start the bout, you can probably do well by following up with paper and then rock. In that same vein, if you guess successfully with paper, you can occasionally follow up with rock and then scissors to win a bout with three consecutive hits.
