Drift Boss — Play Free Online

Arcade Driving

Drift Boss is a one-button drifting game on a track with no rails: hold to steer right, release to go left, collect coins and buy boosters and new cars.

About Drift Boss

Drift Boss is a one-button driving game in which a small car rolls along a narrow, zig-zagging track that hangs over empty space. There are no barriers at the edges, so a badly timed turn sends the car over the side and ends the run. The track keeps going for as long as you can stay on it, and your score is the distance you cover. The game files point to MarketJS as the studio, and the title first appeared in December 2019.

Controls

The car accelerates on its own; your only job is steering. On a computer, hold the spacebar or the mouse button and the car swings to the right, then let go and it turns back to the left. On a phone or tablet the same thing works with a finger: keep it on the screen to go right and lift it to go left. The opening tutorial walks you through this with prompts to steer right, then left, before handing over control.

Coins, boosters and the garage

Coins sit along the track, and you keep whatever you pick up during a run. They pay for three boosters chosen before you press Start Drift:

BoosterCostEffect
Double Score25 coinsThe run counts for twice the points
Car Insurance50 coinsOne fall is forgiven and the car is put back on the track
Coin Rush75 coinsMore coins appear during that run

Coins also go toward upgrading tire grip and handling, and toward new vehicles. The garage includes a taxi, a police car, an ambulance and a fire truck among others. Coming back each day unlocks a daily reward, and a spin-to-win wheel can hand out extra coins or boosters.

Bonus mini-games

Down the right-hand side of the screen sit short side games that pay out a reward when finished: Guess the Number (crack a three-digit code on a keypad), Match the Cards (a memory game), Simon Says (repeat a sequence of coloured shapes) and Maze Challenge (steer a marker to a heart with on-screen buttons).

Tips from the game itself

The loading screen cycles through a handful of hints, and they are the best advice for Drift Boss:

  • Only start a drift when you are close to a bend, not long before it.
  • If you keep falling off, upgrade the car for better tire grip.
  • Look ahead and plan your drifts in tight sections.
  • The car can still be turned in mid-air after a jump, so use the time in the air to line up the landing.

Your best score is saved in the browser, so every run is a chance to beat your own record. If you are going for a long run, Car Insurance is the booster that protects it.

Questions about Drift Boss

How do you steer in Drift Boss?

Hold the spacebar, the mouse button or your finger on the screen to turn right, and let go to turn left. The car speeds up by itself.

What do the boosters do?

Double Score doubles the points for a run, Car Insurance puts you back on the track after one fall, and Coin Rush adds more coins.

What can you buy with coins?

Boosters, tire grip and handling upgrades, and new vehicles such as a taxi, police car, ambulance and fire truck.

Can you steer while the car is in the air?

Yes. The game's own tip says you can still turn after a jump, which helps you land on the next part of the track.
