Desert Rally Overview
Desert Rally was one of those simple, quick games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't need a complicated story or fancy graphics. You just opened it in a browser and started driving.
You control a low-polygon rally car from a side view. The goal is straightforward: drive as far as you can without wrecking your vehicle. You press the right arrow to accelerate and the left arrow to brake, which is crucial for navigating sudden dips and bumps in the desert terrain. The track scrolls by at a steady pace, and the challenge comes from its unpredictable, rolling hills. One moment you're cruising, the next you're airborne, trying to land smoothly to avoid damage. The game tracks your distance in real time, giving you a clear score to beat. It feels tense and immediate, a test of simple reflexes against an unforgiving landscape.
