About Pocket Drift
Pocket Drift is a straightforward racing game that puts players in the driver's seat of 5 unique cars as they navigate through 5 challenging tracks. In this game, the focus is on drifting - players will need to intentionally cause their cars to lose traction and slide around turns, earning points for the distance and style of their drifts. With a top-down, isometric perspective and simple controls, Pocket Drift is easy to pick up and play, but difficult to master.
