Neon Drift Rally

Neon Drift Rally is pure arcade joy. You're not chasing realistic physics here, you're chasing the perfect drift line through a neon-soaked city at midnight. Tilt or tap steering both work, and I ended up preferring the tap controls once I got the rhythm down.

Each track is a loop you'll want to learn by heart, with shortcuts that only open up once you master a tricky chain of corners. Beating my own ghost time became the whole game for me. The soundtrack is all synth and it fits perfectly.

It's a little thin on car variety, and the handling across vehicles feels samey. But as a pick-up-and-race game for five-minute bursts, it's one of the most responsive racers on my phone.
