Thumb Drift - Furious Racing in IOS

#1 Arcade Drifting Game

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

79/100

Thumb Drift is the perfect 'waiting for the bus' game. It's built around one single mechanic—drifting with your thumb—and it does it perfectly. The physics are intentionally exaggerated, which makes for some hilarious and spectacular crashes.

The car variety is surprisingly deep, and unlocking them is just the right amount of grind. It's a high-score chaser through and through. It doesn't try to be a serious racing sim; it just wants you to slide sideways and explode in a shower of car parts, and there's something very satisfying about that.
