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?

The belt never stops. You do the rest. A parcel rides up the conveyor. Read its sticker, flick it at the right gate, and go again — before the next one arrives. Miss, and it goes through wrong. Chain them, and the whole terminal heats up around you. ONE THUMB, THE WHOLE SHIFT Drag a parcel to a gate, or throw it and let the aim do the work. Gates never have to be reachable, only aimable — so the entire game plays with one hand on a crowded train. READ IT, DON'T GUESS IT Every parcel carries two independent cues: the colour of its destination and the shape of its sticker. Colour-blind players read the shape. Everyone else reads whichever is faster. Nothing is ever hidden behind one channel alone. 250 SHIFTS, FIVE FLOORS - Airport Cargo — luggage, freight, and a terminal that will not wait - Factory Line — parts in, product out, and the defective ones go in the reject chute - Sushi Delivery — plate it before it turns; freshness fades while you decide - Space Station — only one airlock is open at a time, and the queue does not care - Magic Parcel Shop — some parcels change their mind halfway down the belt FOUR POWERS, UNDER YOUR THUMB Every shift gives you the same four buttons, and the only question is when to press them: - Slow Belt — the whole line crawls for eight seconds - Safety Net — ten seconds where a mistake costs nothing, not even your streak - Auto Sorter — six seconds where everything that arrives is routed for you - Double Points — ten seconds at twice the pay Each one is spent when you fire it. Stock up with coins between shifts, or restock at the belt when you suddenly wish you had. BUILD THE STREAK Every correct sort feeds the combo, and the combo feeds everything else: the score, the glow on the gates, the colour of the badge. Rush waves speed the belt up mid-shift and pay 1.5× for the trouble. A save in the last half-second pays more than an easy one — and feels like it. WORTH COMING BACK TO Three stars on every shift and a personal best that is always beatable. Daily missions, a daily supply drop, and Game Center leaderboards for total score and for levels cleared. No tutorial you have to sit through. The first parcel teaches you the game. Cargo Flow is free to play. It contains optional in-app purchases and advertising, both of which can be removed.

Verdict

The call

Drift and Cargo Flow are too close to call on the numbers: across 5 compared parameters — price, ads, in-app purchases and device support among them — neither pulls far enough ahead to decide it. What separates them is feature set and interface, not measurable difference.
