The thumper is already beating. Read the moving sand, choose your launch point on the dune ridge, and commit at the right moment. Your arc has to clear the open maw and meet the armored back behind it.
Once you are up, the view shifts overhead. Use the maker hooks to pick a line across the desert map—and evade the Harkonnen and Sardaukar ornithopter patrols hunting from above. Smooth corrections keep your balance; sawing at the controls does not.
Ride the Maker
THE DEEP DESERT
The thumper calls. Read the sand. Time your jump. Ride.

This is a small, unofficial fan-made browser game inspired by the desert rituals in Dune. It uses original code-drawn artwork and no game engine, so it should work equally well with a keyboard, mouse, or touchscreen.
