Character Deep Dive: Pteri!

Meet Pteri!

This is a first in a series of posts talking about some of the key characters in Dino Cleanup! Today I want to introduce you to one of the most important characters in the game, Pteri.

Pteri is one of the first characters you encounter in the game. Pteri is the loyal assistant of another key character, The Professor (more on them later). At the start of the game, Pteri crashes into the home of the main character, Dino, covered in goop, and drops the vacuum cleaner that you use throughout the game.

After saving Pteri, they become your key partner, dropping you off at the start of levels, and picking you up when you finish them.

You can also hold a button to summon Pteri to rescue you from anywhere in a level, bringing you back to the nearest checkpoint.

Wherever you go in the game, Pteri will be your loyal companion! Thanks for reading this little update, and thank you so so much for your support so far! We recently hit over 600 wishlists, which is a really awesome milestone! Please look forward to more updates in the future!

Until next time!

Essentially, if you hit the overdrive button mid-air, you will start hovering, regardless of whether you are holding the jump button . If that doesn't make sense, I'll try my best to explain the change in more detail below. You can use…Game update29 Sep 2026Demo Hotfix: 0.2.1Hey there dino friends! It's been awesome hearing everyone having so much fun exploring the demo, thank you so much for the wonderful response already! Just wanted to let you know I made a quick hotfix for a possible softlock in the last level "Island Hoppin". This could happen when you get the "Essence of the Sea" for the first time, which made you unable to talk to Bruce and get to the end of…
