Easy to pick up, hard to master. • 80 tracks on four planets: Neon Grid, Aqua, Inferno and Flora — from gentle bends to circuits as twisty as a Grand Prix • Two modes: time attack against the clock and duels against a rival rocket • Three difficulties on every track and a star for each one you beat • 8 rockets with special abilities; upgrade control, speed and acceleration • Lab: research nitro, shields, a magnet, time capsules and sponsors • Workshop: paint, patterns, exhaust flames, vapour trails and particles — rainbow included • Daily prizes, boosts for a hard race and a table of your best runs on every track Plays offline, with no ads. Purchases are optional: everything that affects a race can be earned by playing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Astro Race at none against Rocket Drift Racing's 10. Astro Race also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.0). Rocket Drift Racing's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
