The main character, Don-Q-0-T, is a robot sent from another planet to gather the DNA of the indigenous species (mostly dinosaur-like animals). By gathering this DNA, Don is able to impersonate these species, receiving abilities that help him to traverse the hostile alien terrain.

In the current version of the game, Don has three options:

• Normal (robot) form. Medium-sized, medium-speed, and ignored by the wildlife unless he directly wanders into their path.
  
• Velociraptor form, which is small, very fast, and able to leap chasms. T-Rex also likes to snack on Velociraptor, so Don can lure T-Rex out of hiding when disguised as Velociraptor.
  
• T-Rex form, which is very large, very fast, and able to ford streams. Velociraptors are afraid of T-Rex, and flee when Don approaches in his guise as a T-Rex.

Most of the game-play consists of managing the available dinosaur population. In order to don a disguise, Don must kill a dino and harvest its DNA. This means that it is possible to get stuck because you unwisely dropped your disguise (by pressing spacebar) too early. Don is controlled by the arrow keys (for directional movement), spacebar (to drop the current disguise), and the R button (to reset the current level if you get stuck).

Finally, Don is a solar-powered robot ... so when he walks under a cloud, he is forced to drop his disguise. Not only does he have to dodge hungry T-Rexs and aggressive Velociraptors, but the melancholy of rain when one is far from home.

OVER ACHIEVER
Note three uses of deception (or lack thereof) in game mechanics:
1) When you pretend to be a T-Rex, you can drive away large groups of Velociraptors.
2) When you pretend to be a Velociraptor, you can attract nearby T-Rexes.
3) When rained on, you lose your disguise/deception, often resulting in having to restart the level.
