racing car is a game where you drive a car and doge barrels chose the car and get ready to race.

How to play Drifting Car

The opening minute doubles as the tutorial. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. Landscape layout: give it the fullscreen button on desktop, or rotate your phone. The second run is always better than the first — that is the whole learning curve.

On mobile: Tap and swipe on screen. Turn your phone sideways — this game is designed for landscape and fills a horizontal screen.

Why it is worth playing

The reason Drifting Car holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — racing — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. It works as well on a phone on a bus as it does on a desktop.
