Dune! tips and tricks - Send your ball soaring with our Dune! tips

| Dune!

Dune! Is a mobile game where you can send a white ball well through the stratosphere and soaring into the next galaxy, all using some sand dunes.

But it’s not that easy, you’ll need to practise some mean timing and reaction skills. Though, it’ll all be easier with our tips and cheats.

Just take a look below at our Dune! advice and you’ll soon be sending that small ball soaring.

Pick your dune

Just any dunce won’t do when you’re coming in for a landing, the size and shape of the dunes are doing to have a big impact on how you land.

Some dunes are wide almost like a semi-circle, and others are surprisingly deep. The deeper the dune, the more difficult it’ll be to land safely.

Not only that, but depending on how high you drop from, you will drop at an angle, and run the chance of overshooting an ideal dune. Plan well ahead before diving down.

To the moon and beyond

To get points in dune, you’ll want to shoot your ball off a dune and as high as possible - this’ll require speed, precision, and the correct dune.

You’ll quickly pick up on which dunes you’ll need; ones with plenty of space to come in for a landing, with a nice flick to launch off off at the end.

You’ll see yourself landing big points as your sail past the moon and other celestial bodies - the sky certainly isn’t a limit here.

Smooth landings

You don’t just get points for sailing sky high of course, if you aim your dive correctly, you can get a Smooth Landing bonus, too.

The extra two points add up fast, especially if you’re getting them consistently. Just aim for the best dunes each time, maybe go for the ones with more of a safe landing curve.

Remember, you’ll crash on impact should you ever hit a slight upwards incline from your dive, so be patient and aim for the right one!

It’s all about height, not speed

As tempting as it can be to get your ball flying off to the right, passing dozens of dunes at a time, it’s not really for the best.

Speed is good, but only when converted into height, not distance. The fact is, travelling quickly horizontally is only good to find a fresh dune to launch you upwards - although moving at speed will only make this harder.

You want big, massive leaps upwards, with very little horizontal momentum. You’ll quickly learn the right dunes to use, and the right moment to let your ball soar.
