Dune!, also known as Dune Surfer, is a stunt ball game with physics elements. The player directs a ball to travel as far as possible across sand dunes and perform stunts along the way to earn points.
The player earns the most points every time they successfully direct the ball to roll up an incline with enough speed to fly up into the air above a white horizontal score line, glide for a while above the dunes, and then return with a smooth landing. They can also direct it to roll through and collect star coins that hover above the inclines and dips of the dunes and in patterns high in the sky. If they do extremely well, their ball transforms into a shooting star-fire ball.
Dune! requires the player to never land the ball too hard on the sand. Instead, they must always make it drop with just enough speed that it glides across surfaces. If they fail, the ball drops like a rock. The game also ends unless they watch an ad to revive their play.
The player tracks their score in the upper-center area. They can also track their all-time best score, marked by a white crown, and their coins near the upper-right corner.
