The game allows the player to race against eleven AI players on different race tracks. Finishing in the top 6 racers will unlock a new race track. Only a small portion of the race track is visible on the scrolling screen. Dust Racing 2D also includes an option for split-screen multiplayer, and a level editor that allows the creation of new race tracks.

History

The game is under continued development as of August 2017.^[2]
