About This Game

Dustdrive is an optimization/factory game about reaching the speed of light with an experimental new engine that runs off of galactic dust lanes. Intake dust, shape their elemental makeup and combine them into useable fuel for your power cells and dust drive. The faster you go, the more demanding the drive gets - use your wits and factory optimization skills to finally reach the C-Limit... maybe?

Shape the Dust

Extract elements and use them to shape your ever more complex dust signatures. Unlock power and velocity in your engine by successfully "Igniting" them with a signature match. If you fail to match, your ship loses stability and eventually falls apart.

Faster and Faster

As you speed up, new tools are unlocked and the power requirements increase. Manage additional fuel traits like heat, volatility and ionization to push the limits.

Reaching the C-Limit

After you've mastered the fundamentals, optimize! Approaching the speed of light takes more and more power for smaller gains. You'll nearly perfectly optimized build to get close.
