Drift is falling — and the only way down is deeper. Tap left. Tap right. Thread the gap. That's the whole game. No tutorial, no upgrades, no waiting. Just you, an amber ball, and a tunnel that never ends. Every death is your fault — and every retry is instant. One tap and you're falling again before the sting wears off. YOUR BEST LINE Your record isn't a number on a menu. It's a glowing line drawn inside the tunnel at your deepest depth. Cross it and the whole screen turns gold. DAILY DRIFT One tunnel, one attempt, the same for every player on Earth. Miss a day, lose your streak. A NEW WORLD EVERY 1,000 METERS Cool blue gives way to violet, ember, then white-hot. The deeper you fall, the faster it gets — and past 800m, the walls start moving. GAME CENTER Two leaderboards: deepest drift ever, and today's Daily. Five milestone achievements from 500m to 10,000m. Drift is free, supported by ads. One small purchase removes them forever — and you keep the ad-free continues. How deep can you go?
