If you are a gamer who has experienced the golden age of Flash games, the name Dune Buggy is certainly no stranger. Designed by Iriysoft (developer of well-known game series like Cursed Treasure), Dune Buggy offers an interesting 2D racing experience with demanding skill performances. The game's straightforward but incredibly addictive gameplay makes it appealing even though it was published in 2007.
Players of the side-scrolling racing game Dune Buggy operate a buggy to solve challenges, gather stars, and evade harmful objects, including skulls. To get points in the game, one combines speed, jumping ability, and amazing flips.
Although Dune Buggy is simple, it contains many small tips that not everyone knows. If you want to conquer dangerous roads more intelligently, you can apply the following tips:
Jump to balance: The Space key is not only used to overcome holes but can also "save" in situations where you lose balance in the air. If the car is about to flip, press Space at the right time to regain balance when landing.
Flip the car correctly to accelerate: If you turn the car completely while flying and land correctly, the car will receive a hidden boost to help accelerate briefly. But if you turn it wrong, the car can flip over right away.
Know when to drop a star: Not every star is worth getting. Many are placed in very dangerous positions – trying to grab them can make you “disappear” in a split second.
Take it easy on the gas when going uphill: On steep climbs, slow down a bit instead of holding the gas key continuously. This helps the car use inertia to go uphill more smoothly and avoid wheelies or flipping over.
Interesting bug with double jumps: Some players have found that if you press Space repeatedly on rough terrain, the car can bounce further than normal, like having a double jump. Although this is a physics bug, it can be used to overcome difficult sections.
These tips will help you get through the level more efficiently and make the experience with the Dune Buggy more enjoyable and less “bitter”.
After Flash was discontinued, many people thought Dune Buggy had become an "old memory." But thanks to the Ruffle emulation, this game has been resurrected and is available directly on the internet without Flash Player installation.
Note:
Running over steep slopes, jumping over deep chasms, somersaulting in the air, and landing smoothly to get a boost - that is the typical gameplay of Dune Buggy. Each level is a new terrain map, full of unexpected challenges and never repeated. Players will collect stars to score points, avoid skulls to stay alive, perform stunts to increase scores - all with just a few simple operations, but requiring quick reflexes and a sense of precise control.
