SPACE / ↑ / tap to jump the Delhi Police barricades. Every barricade you clear closes the gap.
Reach 1000 points and your runner catches up with them.
A spoof of the Chrome offline dino. Satire, obviously.

A spoof of the game Chrome shows when your internet drops. Instead of cacti there are Delhi Police barricades, and instead of running from nothing, your runner is trying to catch up with two politicians who keep sprinting away. It is political satire in pixel form, made by adz_25.
No. Nothing in the game depicts a real event. The barricades, the chase, the speech bubbles, the "GOTCHA" ending and the super-cape are all jokes. The game does not claim that anyone named here did, said or had anything done to them. It is commentary, not reporting.
Like chromedino.com lets you swap the dinosaur for other characters, this version lets you run as the dino or as a cast of pixel avatars named after public figures and creators: Neha Bora, Rahul Gandhi, Abhijeet Dipke, Saurav Das, Ashutosh Ranka and Ratna Singh, plus a journalists' bench of KK, Samdish Bhatia, Peek TV, Rana Ayyub and Peeing Human. The sprites are 16-pixel-wide stick figures with a name tag, not likenesses. None of these people made, approved or endorsed the game.
Her runner has the only special power in the game: SANGATHAN (organising). Where every other runner is "detained" the moment they hit a barricade, Neha gets three chances to rally — supporters appear, the group regroups in an orderly line, and the run continues from the barricade. The cape is the joke made visible: the superpower here is getting people organised, not flying.
They run with a camera and a PRESS PASS: barricades don't stop them, because reporting is their job. What does stop them is a Delhi Police constable who runs in every so often with a STOP hand. Jump over him and the "● REC" light stays on; get caught and he seizes a camera with a line like "Permission hai?". Three cameras, then the run ends with REPORTING STOPPED. That is the joke, and the point. Peeing Human is drawn as an anonymous hoodie on purpose.
Pixel caricatures of Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, in the tradition of newspaper cartoons. They are never hurt: when you reach 1000 points they topple over and your runner says "GOTCHA." That's the whole catch.
Points tick up with distance and jump a little for every barricade cleared. The gap meter counts down from 1000. Speed ramps up along the way, so a full run takes a couple of minutes of attention. High scores are saved in your browser.
Yes. The code is one HTML file. Every runner is a small palette object in the CHARS list; add one and it appears in the picker.
Because the yellow "DELHI POLICE" barricade is the city's most recognisable piece of street furniture, and because satire works best with real props and imaginary events. Police characters only ever appear as background figures; nothing in the game lets you attack anyone.
