Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit doesn't care about realism, and that's exactly why it works. Every track is a neon ribbon full of long corners begging to be slid around, and the whole game is tuned to make drifting feel effortless and cool. Tilt or touch controls are both here, and both feel responsive after a short adjustment.

The sense of speed is excellent, helped by a pumping soundtrack and screen effects that ramp up as your combo builds. Cars unlock at a reasonable pace, and the handling changes enough between them that it's worth trying new ones.

There's a bit of repetition across tracks later on, but for pure pick-up-and-race fun on a phone, this is near the top of my list.

What we liked

• Buttery drift mechanics
