Drifto Reviews

I was very relieved to see an invert controls option since I found the “right to go right” system very unintuitive, and it might be better to set the default controls to be inverted initially, and still give the option to switch to the less pleasant mode for for whoever likes it that way.

The global rankings system is about 80% of the reason why I keep playing the game. Just knowing that a better score could put me higher on the leaderboard is a great feeling, but the issue is that I can’t see where I am on the ranking except for 4 others around my score. I think if there was an option to see the number you are ranked for each map, or even better, the whole global rankings, then you can take my money because the game is perfect.

Simplicity
This is such a simple little game with such detail to the little things
You don’t have to grind hours for weeks to get what you want but it still makes you work for it which keeps the game interesting wether it be for a couple of days or for a way longer time span the maps are so different to the point where you have to select different cars to perform better and don’t get me started on the cars my favorite is the Porsche 911 because of its super slidey nature in the game
This is a fun little game that keeps it interesting with just the right level of difficulty and no ads

The game is very simple, with one main control to play the game. The maps are challenging to keep going in for a long time, which is what makes it fun.
Overall, it is a great casual drifting game to spend some time, but there are a few issues I have with it.

Most of the cars you buy are pretty useless. They mostly add speed and acceleration, which aren’t things you want in this game. Many cars also do not have great point multiplication values so gaining points with those cars aren’t great compared to some cheaper or even the base car.
The tutorial also did not work for me, but that wasn’t a huge issue since the game is pretty simple (I do hope I didn’t miss some way to get the driver to put their foot off of the gas pedal….)

I love the game, but it does get boring after a bit as is. The drifting mechanics are pretty good in my opinion. The things that bug me are as follows:
-The speed is mostly based on the map, not entirely by the cars. It would be nice to have an adjustable speed preset, but I do note that a gas pedal button would be in the way.
-There are only 5 maps, and each of different mechanics (speed, traction, terrain). These singular maps get pretty boring after a while if you’re in the mood for a certain mechanical aspect.
-Sometimes the game seems to hiccup and acceleration and/or drifting traction is skewed making a corner suddenly feel like ice, or coming out of one you get launched into the next faster than normal.

I absolutely love the game. The game is easy to learn and hard to master. Unlocking and attaining currency is fair and below the curve on other games. Once you've progressed enough to have a good understanding of the game it's really satisfying and sobering you could do whenever. However the one thing I think this game is lacking is the ability to throw the car in neutral and reverse. I absolutely want to try a reverse Andy and a spin exit. It would be the absolute best. The only other think I could think of adding to the game would be either a level design tool or a practice area that is just flat so you can practice different approaches in the game. Overall I am wholly loving this game! Great job devs!

Ive been playing the game for a few hours and really like it. Its super fun and simple. There are just some small problems, the road at higher speeds becomes very bump. I think it should be a bit smoother. Second the way you get coins is very confusing, for example if you 1300 score you get 36 coins. Maybe every 100 score is equal to a coin. Last some cars like the 911 feel very smooth unlike the skyline, the skyline feels like its stuck to the road and feels very hard to drift. But other than that it is an amazing game and super fun trying to get all the cars and tracks.

What a spectacular little game. But I guess size doesn’t really matter, because it fits in so many little details and extra pieces that just make me absolutely adore and love it. I’ve played for at least 2-3 hours already. Unlocked the majority of the tracks, and up to the supra. Although customization for vehicles is limited, it is still so nice just to do something as simple as change the colors. Thank you as well, for making this ad-less. I have no clue how you make revenue but I appreciate the effort that you put into your neat creations of art. Thank you!

Best arcade racing game on here rn. No other drifting game comes close to the easy to learn hard to master thing. You can tell it’s decently early in development so it has ton of potential. First suggestion, add a time trial mode. You can pretty much get an unlimited score if you have a lot of time to spend. In time trials it would be get the highest score in a certain time making it more engaging. Next is change how the coins work. Should be higher scores give you a lot more not just beating your old score cheeses it.

Love the game, have spent a ridiculous amount of time already and haven’t really had any issues but I do have a few picks. Please make Indusso cones not a game over, I understand that adds to the difficulty but I feel like cones aren’t a logical choice, cars would suit that are much better. Also I feel like certain cars gain score and coins way faster than others? Maybe confirmation bias but other than that I really love the game. (Also please make the “Porsche” viable its almost unusable in its state)

Fun to play, great casual game, needs more though. No complaints about the actual game play, just need some more to achieve/look at. Some cosmetics would be nice (unlockable paint, wheels, wings, mirrors, etc.). Some change in scenery would be cool too, maybe go around a hairpin and see a city through a break in the trees or something, some scenic pull off areas, or different markings on the pavement. A few more maps would be nice too, the only map I really like to play is touge, maybe that’s just me though.

This game really is amazing… take this far… keep going keep adding do it right…. Add wheels add hella maps add all the cars… f with the acceleration and each cars tuning and sh bc they go to fast and it’s hard to maintain. I don’t think adding a gas or break pedal will help anytning, should stay as minimal as possible it feels amazing right now j a few tweaks here n there and the vehicles just need help… otherwise amazing game and amazing template…. Please listen to the community snd continue to support and update this game. 🙏

This game is truly fun. It’s simple, and really good time killer. The only problem I see in it is just the fact that there isn’t too much content, which isn’t a major problem. Everything in game, if played well and consistently, can be bought in an hour probably. I’d like to see more cars and maps in the future. If you are open to car or map suggestions, I’d really like to see a Bugatti veyron super sport edition in the game.

This game is great and I’m loving it so far. But the songs ages quite repetitive after only a few games. I would recommend boosting the playlist and adding more fitting songs for drifting. I also think that there would be more night maps. It would be as simple as changing the skybox and adjusting the lighting a tad for some of the maps. Other than that, stellar job and I appreciate how infrequent ads are.

Great game to play when bored, gets addictive. Add filters to customize gameplay and slightly better graphics even though it might be more work because of the pixels. More game modes would also make this game a good 10/10 arcade simple game. Escape from cops in an open world would be easy to put in. (Kind of like smashy road but with different camera angles that are already in this game).

I downloaded the game and opened the tutorial, where it prompted me to 'Swipe to steer.' I swiped left, right, up, down, paused the game, unpaused, closed the game, re-opened it, restarted my phone, and it never went past that screen. The car was just stuck there, waiting for me to steer it, but nothing was happening. It couldn't be a problem with not registering my taps as I could pause/unpause easily and buttons in the pause menu that were in the area I was trying to swipe in did in fact get clicked.

If you want to try and figure out what went wrong I'll give you my system information: I was playing on an iPhone 12 with iOS 16.0

I played one round and I’m in love. This reminds me a lot of tofu racer but more relaxed. Lots of cars, maps start you at different points all the time so it never feels the same, and you don’t feel like you’re struggling to earn coins. The only “improvement” is like to see is a way to slow your car down. Other than that this game is perfect, great car and map design, great graphics. LOVE IT

I appreciate that y'all are still updating the game however if you could add some new cars that would be great. I also find it kinda dumb that the best way to get a really high score is to use the hamburger car. I'm in the top 500 now. i've almost gotten to 5000 score. the only way i'm able to do that is with the burger car.

I got this game on a road trip and it passed the whole ride, I got pretty much all the cars and maps. It’s a good game to play when you’re bored or have no internet, but it ends to quickly and I wish there was more to the game, like challenges, new maps. The maps are also a little bland, there are only like 3 parts for every map and it gets kind of old after a while. So yeah, pretty good game just needs some more too it.

I’ve played this game a lottt, have all the cars and maps. Please add new cars and especially new maps. I’ve gotten bored of playing all the maps over and over. Maybe a snowy road map? Also it’s sooo annoying that you lose when you BARELY tap something. I get that crashing should make you lose, but if you touch a wall with one singular atom you lose it’s really annoying. Fun game mechanics tho. Thank you

I am absolutely in love with this game! I would love to see you guys add some new features such as car mods but little ones, like new rim colors or spoilers! Maybe new car color options would be sick too, an online mode would also be super fun to play with friends! This game has sooooo much potential and I’d love to see what you guys do with it!

this app is essentially the perfect drift game; fantastic controls and finally NO ADS. It’s really fun and super easy to pick up but i seriously do not understand this new update. Previously rally used to be the hardest but also most rewarding game mode. It was possible to get insanely high scores since the dirt let you slide super far and get a huge multiplier. I got 58 thousand as my record. This update completely reworked the multipliers, drifting mechanics, and frankly its seems like the entire game. I really don’t understand the purpose of it; it was great how it was before. All it did, in my opinion, is destroy the fun rally mode and ruin the possibility of getting high multipliers. The multipliers never seem to go above 3 or 4 anymore. The game is still amazing, I just think they should think about updates before just adding them unannounced.

This game used to be my favorite game. It was a fun, simple drifting game with no ads and was simply perfect in every way. That was until the newest update completely ruined the game. The new update I feel completely ruined the mechanics of the car and the balance of the cars. Not only this, but the new update ruined score multipliers completely. I remember when you were able to get 9x multiplier, but now it’s impossible to get passed 3x. You now could sit there playing the game for hours just to crash and get a score of 10,000. For example, Rally is basically the hardest map, but also the most rewarding. You used to be able to get insanely high scores if you played for a while and didn’t crash, now you’d be lucky to get anything above 15,000. One of the best parts about the score multiplier is that when your points started getting higher, drifting would become harder, but now since it’s so hard to get high scores all the fun has been sucked out of the game. I think the game needs to go back to the way it was because it was almost perfect the way it used to be. Bring back to old update and include a “close call” score multiplier whenever you get close to dying but don’t and you will have the best drifting game to exist ever.

I love this game haven’t been able to put it down the actual cars that are just so fun and the joke cars and just amazing there’s been no ads there’s tons of maps I would like some more customizablity like upgrading cars so cars that I like like the ae86 could be made better and more towards how I like other cars to feel but other than that this game is amazing I wish there was more games like this on Drifto Store 10/10

Edit -I don’t like the new update you can’t get any multiplayer the cars all feel weird I don’t care that the prices went but the dock level used to be my favorite, but now it’s one of my least favorite, because of a jumping also I don’t like the way the cars are arranged understand that the actual racing type cars are together the rally cars are together but it just doesn’t feel the same. Could you please go back to the way it used to be thank you. Also the rally cars used to be really rewarding if you knew how to drive them but now, even if you’re really good at it, you can’t get a high score like you used to before I was given the scores in the tens of thousands but now I can barely scrape 8K

You’ve got a great game, I love the mechanics of the drifting. I think it’s got potential to be even better if ur willing to add to it. First I think you need to add like close call bonus. Second would be not having you die the moment you lightly tap anything. Maybe instead it does damage to the car or subtracts points. That’s just for like when ur grazing stuff cause I’m trying to get as close as possible and hold it there. Every-time it thinks I hit the wall and ends it. Third would be a map that u can just go forever on doesn’t matter what u hit just so there’s a place where u can just try different things. Lastly would be the cars themselves, I like the cars you choose but it doesn’t feel like the cars get better as you progress. Actually feels like they get worse and where a waste of the coins. I think these are good starting places that could greatly improve and already great phone game. You’re welcome I hope you listen.

I love me a good drifting game, but dang they’re hard to find. This one pretty much nails it — the controls are simple, the tracks are decent, and there’s a pretty good skill ceiling. The ad implementation is also really decent — never required. With some modest updates I’d happily pay $5 for this.

Here’s some developer feedback:
Once I got some $300+ cars the game lost a lot of appeal. Frankly they’re too good.
The scoring could really use an overhaul. There doesn’t seem to be much benefit to going fast. I’d love to see score multipliers for overall speed through turns. Multiplier zones in corners might be neat, too — I’m thinking clipping points, basically, where you get a big bonus for cutting it close to barriers.
A daily challenge format could be great — I’m thinking a predetermined length (not infinite) predetermined track and car.
A race format would also be neat, but then it’s servers and collision physics.
Lives, rather than a “single impact = done” would be great. Make it a score penalty or at least a no crashes mode.
Would love to see gas + brake. As it is is great, but if I could “press to go” and “release to slow” then there’s a much higher skill ceiling.

All sort of random feedback. I love the game, I’ll keep playing it. Just some ideas :)

I was thinking maybe give us a way to upgrade a car stat wise maybe eventually make it to wear we can upgrade turbos or superchargers and they make diffrent noise depending on the induction used up grade the intake ect because I wanna use lower end cars but they just don’t get as much points also maybe make it to wear we can customize the car cars more then just paint maybe spoilers body kits? Thanks for not making the game unbearable with ads if it ever comes available I will make in app purchases because of your decision to do no ads UPDATE….. I just finished the game (sorta) I unlocked everything and I’m top 100 on the highway well as much fun as it is it needs more like I mentioned above I will continue to play as there’s so much potential!

I love this game so much. Great gameplay, simple but good graphics, one of my new favorites. I do have some suggestions though. I think you should add some sort of description for each car. If I wasn’t a car enthusiast, I would have absolutely no idea what to use and where. For example: when to use the 3rd to last car (Audi Quattro)? It’d be impossible to know it’s intended use is the rally stage unless you had some pre-requisite knowledge. My last two suggestions are gameplay. Maybe add a drift tap function? I always love those in racing games. And if there was a way to make the rally stage with more variety in vertical height, that’d be super fun too.

Thanks for the great game!!

The game was amazing, key word WAS. I have every car, every map, and I’m sitting on about 200k coins right now. Hoping that we would get some more cars or maps in an update. We’ll finally the update came, no cars, no maps. But instead they wanted to change the car physics (which are completely terrible and the reason I’m writing this review) you all took a halfway decent game and ruined it. I feel bad for the veteran players who had the muscle memory dialed into to achieve high scores because the car was already hard to hand the higher the number went because it would make you go faster and faster until eventually you’d crash into a wall. Now the slightest twitch of your finger and you’re flying into the wall, the update ruined the game and sadly I now have to delete it because it is basically unplayable unless you want to drift at 2mph in the first car they give you

I am one of those people who are trying to find new games all the time on my phone and none of them have really stuck with me like this one, trying to beat my high scores, getting enough money for new maps and cars, being on the leaderboard, and no pop up adds! it’s all so fun. i’ve never been addicted to a game this much, and i really hope they add much more maps and cars in the next updates! that would make the game that much better. but i also think the grip decreaser shouldn’t be as harsh, i think if it were more subtle it would make the game more fun and allow better high scores! this game has so much potential.

This game is pretty amazing and was the only simple mobile drift game that i could play for a long time. There was many things that i felt needed work but still very enjoyable. But after the recent update of reworking the car and multiplier mechanics, it seems like everything that was a problem about the game just got worse. Wagwan which was my favorite map is almost unplayable now which is pretty sad. I like that the devs care but i’m not sure what they were thinking with this recent update. In my opinion the old car mechanics were amazing just needed a few tweaks, but not completely rewritten.

I love the game and the drifting physics. Only a couple improvements/recommendations I could make.

I would love to see a revamp to some maps, or some new ones as they get boring after a bit. For example, wangan, can get boring as it doesn’t have many corners or obstacles to keep it interesting. First, you could easily make it into a no hesi situation. You already have semi models in game. If you need to dodge them it could be more interesting. Second, docks feels very repetitive. It feels like the same obstacles every corner.

Currently I love rally, and togue with their different style and physics. Indusso is also fun but a bit more relaxing.

I loved this game before the most recent update. I didn’t play it very seriously and it was a great game to play when I just wanted to sit and think. It gave me something to focus my mind and something very easy and fun and frankly relaxing. My favorite car which had, in my opinion, the most balanced and fun stats is now third from the end and much too fast for me to play casually. This whole update removed the simplicity that made this game enjoyable for me. I spent so much time playing Drifto anytime I just wanted to get lost in my own head and thoughts and now with this latest update, that is no longer possible for me, making me not want to play it anymore.

I got into this app recently before the new mechanical physics update. Game was hard at first and a learning curve but once you got use to movement the game became very satisfying. The cars flowed so well and it was actually challenging at high speeds. I have no clue what changed one day when I play but something felt off. I attempted to play through to see if it would grow on me and the mechanics are so terrible. No longer can you carry speed through a corner nor does the rate of the game increase like it use to. I don’t play mobile games but I played this game every day. I hope the developers see this message and others alike to show them what damage the new physics has done to the gameplay. Stop rewarding newbies and new players and give people an actual challenge. Good game gone bad, I wish players that haven’t experienced the old mechanics will someday.

Driving/draft games should be simple for mobile (simple graphics and controls with minimal goals) and this game is that. this app only has 5 levels currently, and due to their “copy paste” look and feel, they get old a little fast. More levels and the addition of better obstacles would be great. A couple ideas- addition ramps down mountains or “hang-time” might be an interesting add in future levels of this game. Definitely add a map section where you either cannot crash or where the crash mechanic is fixed… in my opinion touching and slightly grazing a corner or wall should not instantly end every game as you would not crash in real or simulated racing from this.

Great game, super simple yet satisfying. No ads are a HUUUGE plus. Some issues I ran into, the tutorial level didn’t load and I just drove off of a cliff into the void The leaderboard is a bit bugged as I got excited when I managed to get third place globally, then beat my score by a good 600 points and was still in third behind completely different users Last was, and not a major complaint at all, but the economy could be improved a bit. You can buy the best car in the game in less than 15 minutes of playing. Maybe i’m just used to mobile games demanding weeks of your time for one thing idk

EDIT: now unable to play the game. I’ve been using the F40 and the game crashes within 5-10 seconds of starting any event.

I’ve played this game since late March, and have every car plus 10k coins. It was really a perfect time killer, plus had great drift physics that allowed for some fun, low speed maneuvers. When I booted the game a few weeks ago, everything changed. Cars are too grippy, too clunky, and just overall are harder to drive. That’s not what I want from just a fun little game to kill time with. I definitely can appreciate the commitment to rewrite the physics engine and the game, but this just isn’t it unfortunately. I’d recommend either reverting to the old engine or adding some toggle for legacy physics if possible. Again, I LOVE this game, and it’s SO well made, I just hate that I can’t really play it as skillfully anymore!

This is a fun drifting game, but after reading other reviews I saw that I wasn’t the only one that found that the game is broken. For some reason the more points you accumulate in a round, the more slippery or faster you car goes making it almost impossible to play on most maps that are in close quarters and need decreased speed to go around corners (the speed you have at the begging of the round is fine, but after a while you notice that you have to turn the car even more to make the same corner which reaches a point of impossible after a while), now this would be fine normally, but if the dev was planning on adding this, then they have to remove the car stats because those stats are now lying about what the top speed of the car is or how good the handling is since they change through the game. Would rate 5 stars but this just makes it unplayable if you’re trying to get bigger scores. Pls fix

So the game is based off of the Very famous anime that stars the 86. The handling is a lil wonky with the brakes always engaging whenever you let off the gas. Which is great although the breaks stop you almost immediately and the camera kinda clips into the ground or tries to when you go downhill so you rly can’t see the next corner kinda like Trackmania’s far cam. And the car is like magnetized to the ground it will not leave it.I haven’t progressed far yet cuz I like to set good times and constantly restart after one crash. There isn’t much to adjust settings wise. Like the only settings are the graphics and the chime. Which I might add is a great little detail cuz the Trueno would chime if you went over a certain speed to warn you to slow down. Other than the fact that the camera and breaks got small problems that I find inconvenient it’s a great lil rally game to pass the time. ALSO MF HAS NO ADDS LIKE THATS A WHOLE STAR RIGHT THERE!!!

Do yourself a favor and try this game if you’re into drifting. I can’t say it’s very realistic, but that’s to its benefit. There’s no buttons for accelerating and braking, only steering with a slider. What this does is force you to try creative drift lines and figure out ways to slow down by drifting, ie. reverse entries and 360s. On top of that, the physics are handled in a way that, while arcady, feel very believable. Seeing the suspension of every car react to your steering and bounce on curbs is straight dopamine. Add on the fact that every stage is infinite and you have the recipe for an absolutely addictive game that, so far, I haven’t been able to put down. Seriously, get this game.

If you’re looking for a background game to play this is the best I’ve ever found. No ads, fun and rewarding gameplay. Easy enough to get into a flow state while playing to really pass the time. I turn all the audio off and listen to podcasts while I play but the music in this is really good as well. I made the mistake of saving up to buy an expensive fast car as my first purchased with the in game currency. That was a mistake, the fast cars really aren’t any good for this game. Buy all the cheap ones in order and get a feel what cars you like the most. I really like the 370z, S15, S2000, and the starting car which is the AE86 is also super satisfying to drive. I found myself questioning how this game was free on a few occasions because it’s just so good. If you’re reading reviews while trying to find a new game to play, download this one you won’t regret it.

When I first got the game I loved it instantly and was constantly grinding it the one thing I do wish it was free roam or a setting so you didn’t have to start over after hitting a wall, some wreckage cosmetic damage if you hit something would be cool have it like set on fire if you take enough damage, I love the car diverse car selection I hope in future updates we are able to customize such as paint features, body kits, wheels/rims, Engine, the whole 9 yards, it would be cool to have some different camera angles such as inside the car or to have the option to drive manual. I personally love just driving around wherever and however without any set objectives, I look forward to future updates for this game and it has massive potential due to the simplicity of the driving mechanics by just having to swipe. One more thing, in future updates I hope to be able to play with friends

P.S if anyone knows where to find the second car in the 4th image let me know I cannot find it anywhere

This game is nothing short of perfect. simplistic but good looking graphics. maps are beautiful and varied. rally and wangan are my 2 favorites. zero ads ever. i only use ads if i want double coins if i got a really high score and want to earn more money. simple game and the only goal is to get a higher score. the cars are varied and are all unique feeling for the most part and the game has all the jdm classic cars like the supra, AE86, and every the 350z. i play this game almost every day when i get bored. it’s just simple fun drifting with no ads and that just makes me want to buy the in app purchases even more just to support the creators. truly a 10/10 mobile game

Really good game. Some additions which may or may not be good one be a feature where if you come close to a corner it gives you extra points and also when doing long drifts like on the wangan course I think it would be nice if even if the car is turned slightly and not all the way for you to gain extra points. Part of the reason is because I’ve found ti easy to rack up points by going side to side instead of going fast. Another would be like the first one where if you come close to the wall on wangan or any wall for an extended period of time that it’ll give you extra points. I don’t know how well these would work or how difficult it would be to make but anywyas great game!

Multiplayer would be cool too

This is a masterpiece. It does everything it needs to in a minimalist yet captivating style. The controls are very simple but there is a very high ceiling and it takes some time to get the hang of it. Learning different cars/maps is a lot of fun but not all are created equal.

I’ve found that the beetle racks up a multiplier very quickly and is by far the best option for early farming to unlock everything. This makes playing the other cars kinda pointless if you’re trying to unlock other cars.

This is really my only complaint and I will likely still play to unlock the other cars. Great work and I look forward to future updates!

It’s a really chill arcade drift game. The only reason I have it 4 stars is because I wish there were more things in each of the levels. Once you get past 2,000 score each level feels extremely repetitive. I would love to see more obstacles and different things to do in each of the courses. The rally level has a thing we’re you get jumps after a certain score. There should be more things like that were it shows up after a while. That would motivate you to play one level longer. I would also love to see more courses. Little side paths and things to do for extra score would be epic. Also adding a thing that gives you a bonus for close calls would be sick.
