### 5/5 — Please come back

*2026-05-31, version 1.0.0098*

Please come back to this game it’s so awesome and I wish there was a more open free play like burnout masters and an EF falcon would be awesome so I can make my irl drift car :)

### 4/5 — 良い、が

*2026-03-28*

総合的にはいいけどもっと峠(ストリート)コースを増やして欲しい。(いろはとか榛名山とか)

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-03-06*

Good game guys been loving it since downloaded but for some reason my game has a black screen every time I load it now I don’t know what’s going on !

### 3/5 — Good game, one MASSIVE problem

*2025-08-31*

The game seems well put together with customisation, a good selection of cars and pretty good tracks, but, none of those really matter when the physics are this bad, the worst physics I’ve ever come across in a drift game, I’ve played drift games on sketchy websites on school computers with better physics.

The game has potential, they juss gotta redo all the driving physics

### 3/5 — Great potential

*2025-07-03*

The game is genuinely engaging and challenging, with impressive vehicle customization that enhances the experience. It’s fun and has real potential, and I’ve enjoyed playing it so far.

Some feedback for the devs:
Physics feel a bit arcade-like. Drifting can be initiated too easily, even from a standstill. 

There should be a more realistic initiating motion before the car breaks traction.

Gearbox needs refining. In manual mode, I can start driving in 4th or 5th gear, which breaks immersion.

Sliding feels too floaty. It’s like the car is skating on ice, with too little grip during drifts.

Throttle response could be better. The car sometimes keeps accelerating slightly even when I’m off the gas, which makes precise driving harder.

Overall, the game is fun and worth playing, but with a few physics tweaks and driving realism improvements, it could go from great to amazing.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the detailed feedback, this is great to see. We actually previously had a much more sim style physics system in place that was a lot harder to master but super rewarding once you got the hang of it. Unfortunately we had so much feedback that it was too hard we changed to a easier, more arcade drifting style.

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2025-06-16*

It's not quite a "god game," but I think it's a very good game. I think it could become a "god game" depending on future updates.

 Personally, I would like to see the course layout and zone placement revised.
 Mainly, the course layout of Bikernieki is incorrect, so please correct it.
 Also, the Mondello Park zone is a little off, so I would like you to fix it.

 As for car customization, there is a fair amount of freedom.
 Personally, I would like to be able to swap faces with S14.5 and others.
 Engine swaps and aftermarket turbos are also possible, so I think it offers a high degree of freedom.
 However, there are currently a limited number of vehicles available, so I would appreciate it if more could be added.

 It's a great game, so I'm looking forward to future updates.

### 5/5 — WUNDUN

*2025-03-07, version 1.0.0098*

My falcon goes sideways I love this game

### 1/5 — Não consigo apagar

*2025-03-07*

Não consigo apagar o app do meu telefone!!!!!!!! Iphone13

**Developer response:** You can delete any app for your phone. Strange review

### 4/5 — Worth the download

*2025-03-06, version 1.0.0098*

The game is really good, no adds and great graphics! I would love to see more customisation and tuning though. Why isn’t there any transmission tuning? Id love to be able to tune each gear like games such as CarX drift racing. The prices to buy tracks and cars is a bit to much in my opinion too, maybe have it $4 or something like that. Over all it’s a great game and I’m really enjoying it just like I enjoy Burnout Masters.

### 5/5 — Top

*2025-02-12*

Top

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review
