Dust Racing 2D also includes an option for split-screen multiplayer, and a level editor that allows the creation of new race tracks.
History
Dust Racing 2D was inspired by Super Cars and Slicks ’n’ Slide. The game was built by Jussi Lind on Qt development framework, and it uses OpenGL for graphics. Due to the source code availability, it is possible to port the game to multiple operating systems.[1] The first version of the game was published in 2012. The game is under continued development as of August 2017.[2]
