Lost in the Drift

Get ready to drift onto the scene in this nostalgia-infused infinite runner which pays homage to old school PS1 racing games, with their stylized visuals and slippery challenging controls.

The goal is simple: avoid obstacles, and get as far as you can while keeping your RC car on the road, or you risk losing the signal.

Controls:

WASD - Accelerate the car
Space Bar - Brake
Enter - start the game/return to menu
