Dust Racing 2D is an open source and multi-platform video game that provides users with a fun and tile-based two-dimensional car racing experience on GNU/Linux, BSD, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. It was inspired by the Slicks’n Slide and Super Cars games.

The game brings back old memories, offering players the opportunity to play against their friends via the split-screen mode (horizontal or vertical), or against challenging AI (Artificial Intelligence) cars. Custom levels can also be created thanks to the built-in level editor.
