The graphics of the game receive mixed feedback from users, with many praising the overall aesthetic and cartoonish style, while others criticize the quality and realism, suggesting improvements. Some players find the graphics suitable for a mobile game, highlighting the vibrant visuals and car designs, but many express a desire for enhancements, particularly in terms of detail and performance on lower-end devices. Overall, while the graphics are generally appreciated, there is a consensus that they could benefit from further refinement to elevate the gaming experience.
“The graphics are stunning.”
“Amazing drifting game so much fun and potential great graphics for a mobile game just need a tad better graphics and game will never be uninstalled from my phone again.”
“I love the controls and the graphics and the cars look amazing!!!!!”
“The graphics are really bad, the game lags every time you hit something or someone.”
“What is this? The graphics are umm... potato, but the cars look so trash and the drifting physics are bad. I don't know, when I drift it looks like there is slime on my tires. This is really bad.”
“The game is awesome, but everything's really good. I just think you guys need a little graphics upgrade. I have it on ultra and it still isn't that great at all; no lag, just bad graphics. It looks like I'm drifting in a cartoon.”

The monetization strategy of the game has received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with players expressing frustration over the excessive number of ads that interrupt gameplay, often requiring them to watch ads to access features or join multiplayer sessions. Many users report that purchasing premium options to remove ads does not effectively eliminate them, leading to feelings of being scammed. Additionally, the in-game purchases are criticized for being overpriced, contributing to a perception of the game as pay-to-win.
“Vertually no ads, great customizations, there is racing and free roam, epic cars.”
“Really good game, a lot of fun, no ads unless you want some money.”
“Great game, almost no ads at all.”
“So being a fan of drifting games that take less skill than sliding a finger back and forth made me check out this decent looking one that I thought due to all the nice 4-5 star reviews would be a fun time, well; unless your fun consists of having ads every time you tap to do a race or finish one, or paying $3.99 for no ads and still getting ads, find a different game, cause this one belongs right where it was created; in the loo.”
“I can't believe, I already bought the premium and still need to watch ads after a race, wow.”
“Constantly shoves ads down your throat, and you can't even level up without watching an ad; it blocks you from doing anything unless you make money for them by watching ads.”

Overall, the gameplay is highly praised for its smooth mechanics, engaging drifting experience, and enjoyable controls, making it fun for both casual and skilled players. However, some users noted issues with sensitivity in controls, lag in multiplayer, and the presence of frequent ads, which detracted from the overall experience. Despite these criticisms, many believe the game has great potential and is one of the best drifting games available.
“The gameplay is smooth.”
“Really good physics and mechanics that require skill but are still forgiving.”
“The drifting mechanics in this game are at top level; it's easy to earn rewards and very fun to play around with random friends.”
“The steering for a good drift is difficult because of the game's driving mechanics; it's frustrating.”
“Very hard to control the car, mechanics aren't the best and you have very little customization of your car.”
“The actual drift mechanics are broken and the control of the car is too sensitive on the lowest sensitivity.”

Players express a strong desire for a more developed story or career mode in the game, suggesting that it would enhance the overall experience. While some users appreciate the gameplay mechanics, they feel that the current mission structure lacks depth and could benefit from easier initial challenges. Overall, the consensus is that a narrative element would significantly improve engagement and enjoyment.
“Awesome, just needs a story mode.”
“You should add story or career mode to this game, then it will be fun to play this game.”
“I challenge you to make different modes like story mode.”

Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while some players appreciate the ability to adjust graphics settings for better performance, others report significant lag and performance issues on lower-end devices, such as the Galaxy S6 and S7. Despite the game's impressive graphics and physics, many users feel that further optimization is needed to ensure a smoother experience, especially in multiplayer modes.
“I love the game! I started playing it today and I can't let it go. I've even referred it to my friend to play online. It just needs more cars, but other than that, it's great. The optimization is brilliant; you can set the graphics to suit your device's performance, and even at low settings, it looks good.”
“The physics, the graphics, the performance, the details, and the difficulty are all superb!”
“Controls are fine, and being able to mod the car's components, such as upgrades to the engine like fitting turbo manifolds and spark plugs, affects the performance of the car, which should change the output of each car. Overall, the game is fine.”
“My device is a Samsung Galaxy S6; it should be able to run a game with these simple graphics with ease. More optimizations are needed.”
“I think what's missing here would be optimization; the game doesn't seem to run at 60fps on my device.”
“It lags on Galaxy S7, no matter what graphics setting or when performance mode is on.”

“Fun, hilarious, simple, well-made game. Thanks!”
“So funny and easy to play.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be a mixed experience; while it can be enjoyable and rewarding, especially with a reasonable coin earning rate for unlocking cars, it often leads to frustration when matched against significantly more advanced players. The initial grind may feel overwhelming, but improved controls can enhance the experience over time. Additionally, the reliance on loot boxes adds to the grind, particularly for those unwilling to spend money.
“Would be more fun if the matchmaking put us against people within the same progress level instead of someone who has been grinding for months who has one of the highest rating cars in the game.”
“But unlocking new cars can be grindy.”
“Games point is grinding + loot boxes (which if you don't pay take a loooong time to open).”

The emotional aspect of the game is impacted by the steering and slide physics, which some users feel require improvement, particularly regarding tire grip in corners. This suggests that the driving experience may not fully engage players emotionally due to these technical shortcomings.
