Now play Floating Cloud game when you’re offline in Google mobile search

If you’re a Google Chrome user then you might have come across the popular T-rex dinosaur game and played it too. The T-rex aka dino game is a hidden game that appears when you’re offline or not connected to the internet. This little classic runner game is a good time pass while you wait to get back online. Interestingly, Google has now added a similar game for its mobile search. While Chrome’s T-rex carries a grayscale theme, the game seen in Google mobile search features a modern and colourful design. The concept is quite similar to the Flappy Bird game and the easter egg found in Android Marshmallow.
