Excellent! Found Bug, though!
Fri Jul 13 2018 Baron-MunchausenI’ve never heard of this game until yesterday. I couldn’t be happier I took the chance. It’s freaking awesome and I love everything about it. Thank you, also, for making it premium. I’ve encountered a couple of bugs, though. The brake (not hand brake) doesn’t work with the virtual joystick setup. Also, when you set your car the way you want it, the game doesn’t seem to remember when you start up again (this one’s no big deal). Lastly, when entering Garage from Free Roam mode, it won’t let you change your livery. Still, spectacular, unique game. Just please fix the brake issue on joystick setup. P.s. I’m on an iPhone 7 with the latest iOS.
Last update deleted all my progress
Tue Jul 24 2018 PolymathicThis is a pretty cool game, but it is way too buggy for a premium title. Menus don’t always work, especially the back button. Worse, menu layout is ridiculous. Want to adjust controls or car setting? You need to exit to a world, hit pause menu, select Main Menu, select controls, adjust controls, then exit all these menus. If that weren’t enough, most of the time the back button doesn’t work and I need to change languages in order to resume playing. Poor optimization makes even a iPhone X slow down and overheat. Controls are average and lack enough customization. The game has no shifting option, but tells you to enable manual shifting to improve control. Feels like a taunt. Finally with the last update all my progress was lost, including unlocked cars and access to other worlds. That just put me over the edge and I’m done with this game. A premium title shouldn’t be this buggy.
Thanks for a great game!
Fri Sep 14 2018 Kizah76Thanks for the fix as of last week.
I have played for 7+ hours on iOS. it is clear that not only is Absolute Drift Zen Edition one of the best drifting titles on the App Store, it’s one of the greatest drifting games. ADZA has little to do with racing other than completing certain challenges within the time. Rather, it has to do with drifting. There is so much replayability. A feeling of true zen when finally accomplishing one of the numerous challenges. Polished like no other and for a minimal price. Thanks for supporting Game Center Achievements.
The controls have been extremely improved, and remember, that this is a drifting game. I’m familiar with the controls because they are on both my PS4 and XB ONE.
The spot on touch screen controls take time to master, but they appear to be a perfect translation from the consoles.
Not tested with MFI controls.
Soundtrack is brilliant.
Hoping this one doesn’t go unnoticed. You can simply get “lost” in Absolute Drift Zen Edition.

Incredible, but needs fixes bad
Mon May 22 2023 john_440_6Love this game, been playing it for years, I would give it 5 stars all day except it needs fixes real bad. I will make it short and simple; menus are buggy, you can’t do multiple donuts in a row, progress is sometimes lost, replays are corrupted sometimes, world record replay simply does not work, and the Game Center connection for this game is almost entirely broken. Love it to death, but please fix it guys if you do I’ll change my rating.
P.S more cars/maps that introduce some new interesting features would be a great addition, even if it was a paid DLC, but it must be fixed first.
Amazing game on PS4/PC - wack on iOS
Fri Jul 27 2018 Ian BrentDeleted all my progress for no apparent reason, didn’t carry my progress between devices, super laggy and low frame rate on iPad Pro 9.7” and drains my iPhone X battery to a ridiculous degree (phone gets hot within minutes, then within about 20 minutes screen brightness is at a minimum and it starts lagging with low frame rate and need to force quit / wait for phone to cool down.)
Want my money back or an update to address all of the above. Ridiculous that Noodlecake (one of my favorite developers until this fiasco) would put this nonsense out.
Great game, but has an issue
Sat Jun 27 2020 Outlaw1-1I’ve sunk a quite a few hours into this game and love to play it. If you love touge the mountain drift events are extremely fun and are a nice challenge. Now my only problem with the game has been gears not shifting up when I need them to which potentially ruins a run. Unlike the PC version you can’t manually shift which I found to be rather useful, but I understand that it would be difficult to put into a mobile version. Overall it’s a great game that’s easy to play casually and can be challenging when it’s on maximum difficulty.
Worth it
Wed Jul 18 2018 StratbluesmanExcellent game, tough at first, just like you want it, so the payoff is big when you get better at drifting, spinning, donuts, jumps. Not about speed, all about the drifts. You basically have different worlds and tracks that all have challenges to unlock the next one....spin under the awning, donut around the lamppost, jump over the building etc..... excellent minimalist/clean art style, responsive controls (I did way better with the joystick compared to the default L/R buttons. Definitely worth the $. Quality games like this need to be supported.
Great but can’t find manual controls.
Fri Jul 20 2018 JoshuaFordLoving the game, bought it the moment I saw it because I had a blast playing the pc version. Controls feel very good, however I have had a few issues that I hope can be solved in the near future (fingers crossed).
1. The ability to adjust the ui size and placement would help quite a lot. Sausage fingers make it hard to consistently hit some of the smaller buttons.
2. We need manual transmission! It would allow for greater car control as it is hard to hear what gear you are in by sound alone. It even suggests it as an on screen tip. Maybe I’m just blind and don’t see it in settings but I can’t find it anywhere.
Anyways, would definitely recommend the game to others, it has some of the best physics out here and the car feel very balanced, so it is easy to 4 wheel drift.
Lots of fun, too short though
Fri Jul 27 2018 Motox20A very fun game, I suggest starting out on hard setting, it may be a steeper learning curve but it’s a lot more fun without the assists, or at the very least once you get the hang of it switch to hard. Once I put it on hard I was getting scores I couldn’t even come close too on easy. The physics are pretty good, the tracks are diverse and some are quite challenging(or frustrating....lol). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it felt too short, and this is the perfect game for player created levels, I hope the implement that at some point, or add more “worlds”.
Overheats iPhone X
Sun Jul 15 2018 djmichaelbThe game seems OK, I’ve definitely given it a few goes to try and master the drifting, but a couple of points for me reducing my rating:
- the phone gets ridiculously hot very quickly. To compensate the iPhone starts dimming the screen and slowing down the processor, so it gets very laggy. Seriously, not more than 5 minutes play before seeing issues
- the controls are sluggish at best. It doesn’t feel responsive and this leads to quite a bit of frustration.
I love the art style, and the concept, and the challenges. Fix the performance issues causing overheating and it would be a solid 4 Star review.
