DRIFT is a minimalist physics game set in the depths of space — easy to pick up, impossible to put down. Your orb floats freely, pulled only by gravity and your touch. Tap anywhere to attract it toward your finger, then let go and watch it drift. Thread it through each glowing ring before time runs out — but the rings keep shrinking, and one miss ends everything. Chain combos to multiply your score. Earn coins. Build your collection. Every ring you pass grows your combo. Keep the streak alive to unlock massive coin bonuses — then spend them in the shop on rare orb shapes and space-themed backgrounds that transform your entire game world. FEATURES — Satisfying tap-to-attract physics that feels unlike anything else — 12 collectible orb skins: from classic circle to hexagram, heptagon, decagon, and beyond — 5 animated backgrounds: Deep Space, Nebula, Solar Flare, Aurora, and Crimson Void — Score multiplier combo system — chain passes to earn 2× coins on new personal bests — Sound effects with one-tap mute toggle — No timers, no lives to wait for — just pure arcade flow Simple controls. Infinite depth. One more run.
