Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit is not a simulator and does not want to be. It is about sliding your car sideways through neon-lit corners and chaining drifts for boost. The one-thumb control scheme is clever: tap to drift, release to grip, and the whole thing flows once it clicks.

The sense of speed is excellent and the soundtrack pushes you forward. Tracks are short, which suits mobile perfectly — you can knock out a race at a red light. Car handling stays arcadey and forgiving so you rarely feel cheated by a crash.

There are not many tracks, and you will see repeats before long. But the drift feel is so good that I kept replaying the same circuits just to beat my own line.

What we liked
