Pocket Drift is a free sports game you can play right here in your browser. The core of it is racing and car. No account, no install and no plugins — just the game in a browser tab.
About Pocket Drift
Pocket Drift is a great time trial racing game where you have to finish crazy curvy tracks as fast as you can. Drive your little car through dirt tracks full of coins and try to collect them while dodging obstacles to reach the finish line in record time in this fun free online game on Silvergames.com. Your car will automatically accelerate, so you only have to focus on turning and braking when necessary. It may take you a while to adjust to the turns, as you'll be looking at your vehicle from more of a spectator's angle, but after a few laps you'll become a master drifter. Open surprise boxes with all kinds of bonus power-ups, such as coin multipliers, magnets and much more. Have fun playing Pocket Drift!
How to play Pocket Drift
There is no tutorial to sit through — the game explains itself. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game runs in portrait, so on a phone you can play one-handed, and on desktop it stays centred rather than stretched out of shape. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.
Controls
| Input | Action |
|---|---|
| Arrow keys / WASD | Steer, accelerate and brake |
| Spacebar | Handbrake or nitro boost |
| R | Reset the car after a crash |
On mobile: Tap and swipe directly on the screen. The game is built for portrait, so you can play one-handed without rotating your phone.
Why it is worth playing
What makes Pocket Drift stick is that failure is informative. You can usually name the mistake, and that is what makes another attempt tempting. That is a rarer quality than it sounds.
