Drifting games are cool, we simply can’t deny it! If you’re a fan of high-speed racing games you can actually play on your smartphone, today we’ve got a brand new game from PlaySide you’ll probably want to check out…
From the creators of Fishy Bits, Bouncy Bits, Icy Ropes, and a number of other cute and blocky titles Drift It! is the first serious racing game we’ve seen from the PlaySide Team, and we must say they did a great job! Set in a beautifully minimalistic world, your mission in this game is to skillfully tap on the screen of your device in order to drift around corners, ⤴️ drift along stretches of straight road, ⬆️ and take to the sky! ✈️
Played similarly to the many tap-based rhythm games available on the Apple App Store and Google Play, Drift It! does take some getting used to, especially while you are still figuring out just when to start and release your taps in order to get that “Perfect” drift… That being said, the game doesn’t feature too many Ads which is helpful considering just how many times you’ll die within the first 5 minutes of playing the game.
Another thing that helps is the fact that the Drift It! doesn’t seem to randomly generate a new track each time you restart the game. Although the stage does change, there are always going to be elements that just feel familiar for you to guess what is coming up ahead.
This is very useful when you’re first learning how to play the game, however, it could also mean the game will quickly become predictable and boring depending on what type of gamer you are…
With a number of different cars for you to unlock, (each with their own unique strengths and characteristics), a whole heap of parts you can use to customize your car to the extreme(!) and even a multiplayer mode so that you can battle it out with other Drift It! players online, this game is packed when it comes to functionality!
Not a lot to complain about at all!
The Conclusion
If you’re after a simple racing game you can play on the subway without leaning into the person beside you as you speedily drift around a corner, this is the game for you.
With simple controls, loads of functionality, and not too many Ads, (although they do seem to increase the longer you play the game?), this game is mobile racing at its simplest form!
