Dust Circuit

Dust Circuit is arcade racing that leans hard into drifting. Tilt or touch controls both work, and after a few races the muscle memory for chaining drifts through canyon corners clicks nicely. Boost is tied to drift charge, so the aggressive line is usually the fast line.

Car upgrades are simple and readable, no spreadsheet required. Each new car feels genuinely different in weight and grip rather than just being bigger numbers. The track design is the real star, with shortcuts that only pay off if you commit to the risky drift.

The rubber-band AI can feel a touch cheap in the final laps, and the soundtrack loops too soon. Still, for quick races on the bus it hits the spot.

What we liked

• Drift-and-boost loop that feels great
• Cars with distinct handling
• Short races ideal for commutes
