Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit knows exactly what it is: a pick-up-and-drift arcade racer with tracks short enough to run one more time before bed. Steering is tilt or touch, and both work, though I settled on touch for tighter corners.

The drift system is the star. Hold a turn, feel the car slide, and chain drifts to build boost. It's simple to grasp and hard to master, which is the sweet spot for a phone game. Track design keeps throwing new corner combos at you.

It runs hot on my old phone after long sessions and the car unlocks lean on repetition. But for pure fun-per-minute, it delivers. I keep it installed just for the quick races.

What we liked

• Drift-chaining that feels genuinely good
