About Train Drift
Take the physics of a drift racer and put it under something that weighs several hundred tons. The result is a racing game with a longer wind up than any car game, because a train that has started to slide takes a while to stop.
You race against other trains through open landscape, and a collision costs you more than the time it takes. Scoring rewards a clean run, so the fastest line is the one that never touches anything. It runs at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Take control of the train and get it up to speed.
- Set up the drift before the bend, not in it.
- Keep clear of the trains racing next to you.
- Finish without a collision for the higher score.

Tips
- Start the drift early. The mass of the train means the input lands a moment after you give it.
- Give a rival room instead of fighting for the line. A collision costs more than the position is worth.
