About

SUMMIT SLIDE

Read full description

Find your next line. SUMMIT SLIDE is a solo 3D drift racer with a top-down view and approachable arcade handling. Link corners, build your multiplier and turn each run into a new personal best. EIGHT PLACES TO DRIVE Start on Hoshino Pass, follow the coast and learn the Apex Garden circuit. Then take on city blocks, container docks, desert bends, a snowy descent and an airfield finale. Later stages grow from around 3.2 km to 6.4 km. BUILD YOUR GARAGE Start with the balanced SUMMIT S1. Earn coins to buy the nimble KITE H2, the fast VESPER R6 and the powerful BISON V8. Each fictional car has its own body and driving character. FIT PARTS THAT CHANGE THE DRIVE Upgrade tires, swap engines and fit a new turbo. Improve brakes, suspension and the differential, then add engine-oil and brake-fluid upgrades. Each category has two permanent upgrade grades, fitted separately to each car. Parts affect acceleration, speed, braking and handling. CLEAR, EARN, RETURN Finish a stage to earn your first star and unlock the next course. Chase higher drift scores for two and three stars. Every completed run pays coins, with extra rewards for first clears and improved stars. WATCH YOUR BEST RUN Save your highest-scoring run on each stage and watch it again with playback controls and a timeline. Replays keep the car and parts used for that record. You can also drive alongside your personal best ghost. ANALOG CONTROL Move the stick left and right to steer, up to accelerate and down to brake. Hold DRIFT with your other thumb to slide through the turn. Everything in the garage is earned by driving. No ads, no in-app purchases and no account required. Gameplay works offline. Progress and replays are saved on this device. Game interface: English.
