Neon Drift Circuit

Neon Drift Circuit is pure arcade racing — no simulation nonsense, just drifting around glowing tracks and chasing a better time. Races are short, which makes it perfect for mobile. You can finish a few in the time it takes a bus to show up.

It offers both tilt and touch steering. We preferred touch; tilt felt twitchy unless we sat very still. Thankfully the sensitivity sliders let you dial either one in. Auto-accelerate is on by default, so you only manage brakes and drifts.

This one does get your phone warm, and the battery drops faster than most games here. Lowering the graphics preset to medium kept the heat down without ruining the look.

What we liked

• Short tracks suit mobile play
• Touch and tilt steering, both adjustable
• Graphics presets manage the heat
