Drift Dudes is a racing game that challenges a player with competitive races on roads designed with sharp curves. The player competes against other players from around the world on a variety of striped racetracks in different geographic settings.
After logging in with a Facebook or Google account or as a guest user, the player receives an old, beat-up car with suitcases on top in a luggage rack. Thankfully, they can upgrade the vehicle immediately with 15 free coins they receive and free paint colors. The game also allows them to repair their vehicle to improve the handling, acceleration and max speed. They purchase repairs with coins they collect on tracks and race winnings. That said, there's a maximum level for repairs. The player must also pay to unlock and repair other models. The game offers four vehicles total.
Drift Dudes oddly doesn't focus on the art of drifting as much as winning races. The game randomly selects a track, and then the player merely needs to do well by any means possible during a three-lap race. For example, the player can push other cars out of the way and drive through shoulders to bypass any curves entirely. The game also offers them acceleration pads that blast them with fiery tires and super speed down each racetrack.
