Good game but some major issues
The steering feels sluggish at best, the clipping points are super bipolar and the controls are too close together.

Great game, but has an issue
I’ve sunk a quite a few hours into this game and love to play it. If you love touge the mountain drift events are extremely fun and are a nice challenge. Now my only problem with the game has been gears not shifting up when I need them to which potentially ruins a run. Unlike the PC version you can’t manually shift which I found to be rather useful, but I understand that it would be difficult to put into a mobile version. Overall it’s a great game that’s easy to play casually and can be challenging when it’s on maximum difficulty.

Great game, battery drainer
This game is an absolute blast and a great time-killer. Only issue I’ve found is that on both my old 6s+ as well as my new XS Max this game kills more battery than any other app I’ve ever used. Not sure if that is anything that can be addressed on the software side, but other than that it’s a fantastic game. Definitely worth the download!

Paid but you still get ads
I found the game fun and the style is truly unique but after paying for this game I do not expect to be shown ads. I requested a refund because of that alone otherwise I would have kept playing the game.
2020-01-24
Control
Way more frustrating than fun
2019-11-07
Paid version has ads
Ad revenue must be tiny compared to what I paid for this game, why ruin the experience?
2019-06-08
Good game but...
This game is fun and is time consuming but I would really like to see more cars like a bmw with a spoiler or other cool drift cars with big wings and more worlds
2019-05-12
The best game in the world
It’s still as good as on the Xbox
2019-05-10
Fantastic iOS port! a must buy for any iOS device
it runs incredibly smooth. controls are very precise. the milestones in each track help you become a drift king. the music is lovely and keeps you going on for more.
you can easily drift. but it is difficult to master. i’m sure you will be playing this for a very long time. worth the money.
2019-04-18
PLEASE READ
I LOOOOOVVVVVEEE THIS GAME.the physics are great the graphics are interesting to look at but I just want a phew things like the nissan s14 and the regular non pop up headlights for the missile and the Nissan GT-R r34 and it would be BETTER AND THAT IS HAAARRRRD TO BE BETTER THAN RIGHT NOW👌😄
2019-04-17
Uncontrollable
Aweful on ios, essentially unplayable
I want my money back
Try FR Legends instead, free and functional

Can't drift multiple donuts in a row
My biggest problem in this game is that you can't drift multiple donuts in a row. It just won't even count them for you, even if the donut resets. I think this is probably a bug because it makes some goals almost impossible to achieve like 7 donuts in two minutes. I can drift seven donuts fine, but not if I have to keep exiting the circle and coming back in.

Way too difficult for mobile
I’ve played racing games for years but the events are just way too hard with the controls and assists available on a mobile.
Track setup is brutal in difficulty and margin of error is slim.
The steering/stability assists are not too useful in my opinion. I understeer way too much with them on and wash out wide. With them off the snap overteer kicks in. Ive tried all the different configurations and degrees of dificulty and success finding a suitable one (yet).
I mostly leave it in Steer Assist OFF, Stability Assist in 10% or OFF and Steering Sensitivity in 60% or 70%.
Good, minimalistic, aesthetics and clever car culture references.
Car sounds are a hit and miss. Car only sounds that like it has one gear and too digital at low speeds. But you do get nice blow off noises sometimes and a nice brake squeal.
Great in-game music.
Everytime you hit anything, even at slow speeds, you get a super annoying crash sound or scraping sounds with a curb.
If you’re not a patient person nor a drift/car culture superfreak just consider skipping this game.
Way, way to hard to be enjoyable on the track-based events. Free roam is great though which is the only Zen element to the actual game were you kind off can just blow some steam, have fun, and not be too agry with it.
So close to being a great game for me. It really is fun if you stay out of the events.
I would make the stability or steering assists more fine-tuned to make the user less understeer prone and/or allow you to hold more angle without you spinning out. Or a tuning mode were you can easily tweak the steering controls and assists without quitting and jumping to the settings a million times. Or maybe allow some throttle/power delivery modifications. Or maybe some power delivery modifications to make the drift progression more modular.
2019-03-07
customization options
more cars and customization and this game would be perfect
2019-02-20
Buggy
Also whoever decided to put the retry button next to the finish button is probably the biggest detractor for your game. Its annoying and a bad design choice. So much so that instead of giving you 5 stars i look the time to open the app store and write this to give you 1. Fix it.
2019-01-24
This is a hard game. That’s ok.... except
I can’t keep my fingers on your stupid buttons!!!! Why not use the button sizes of games that work well? The narrow button placements consistently cause me to make errors and when the game is this difficult.... I hate losing cuz my finger was off by a 1/16th of a inch.

Absolute Drift
Can’t go wrong with this game. Excellent for the price if u enjoy driving games whatsoever
2018-12-21
Best stress free release
Good skid mechanics, love this game, developers should make a ps vita version
2018-12-18
Console quality, I Just want manual shifting!
I've played this on PC for years, and it handles almost identically on my phone. I just wish I could use manual shifting (hint!)
Game is excellent though
2018-10-21
Does what it says on the tin
Is drifting game. I originally bought this on pc, and really liked the pc version.
The game doesn’t work as well on a small screen. As far as I can tell, this is a port or clone of the pc version.
I’m not getting the same kind of enjoyment out of this on the small screen.
2018-10-12
Manual Shifting?
I saw a tip about manual shifting but I can’t figure out how to enable it, other than issues with the game shifting up mid drift, it’s great.
2018-10-12
Absolute drift
The game is a great game but here’s the thing I every one or two weeks the game resets it self and after getting back to that level it resets me again.
2018-09-14
Thanks for a great game!
Thanks for the fix as of last week.
I have played for 7+ hours on iOS. it is clear that not only is Absolute Drift Zen Edition one of the best drifting titles on the App Store, it’s one of the greatest drifting games. ADZA has little to do with racing other than completing certain challenges within the time. Rather, it has to do with drifting. There is so much replayability. A feeling of true zen when finally accomplishing one of the numerous challenges. Polished like no other and for a minimal price. Thanks for supporting Game Center Achievements.
The controls have been extremely improved, and remember, that this is a drifting game. I’m familiar with the controls because they are on both my PS4 and XB ONE.
The spot on touch screen controls take time to master, but they appear to be a perfect translation from the consoles.
Not tested with MFI controls.
Soundtrack is brilliant.
Hoping this one doesn’t go unnoticed. You can simply get “lost” in Absolute Drift Zen Edition.

Where’s the saves bruv?
Great drifting game but where are the slaves bruv?
2018-09-05
Resets every time
I love this game but for the fourth time my progress gets lost and I have to start over. 👎🏿
2018-08-25
Midnight levels arent visible
Please enable a way to change the color on “midnight” levels, I can’t see anything at all. Accessibility is an issue
2018-08-16
Fun!
Really fun game but it’s really annoying how it restarts your progress every time you quit the app.
2018-08-14
Progress resets every time I close the app.
I have played the first three worlds over and over again because my progress keeps resetting. I can accept in some cases losing progress after a big update but this happening every time I close and re open the app. I did enjoy playing this game but if I wanted to start over from scratch every time I wanted play a game I would go back to my NES.
2018-08-10
Fun game
To bad after I unlock a lot of stuff the game decides to reset my progress every so often
2018-08-04
Fun game if it worked
Every single time I play it deletes my progress the next time I open the game
2018-08-04
Also deleted my save twice!
Don’t buy until they get this fixed! Sad because it’s one of my favorite games.
We need manual button size Mg and positioning. Also an option for a manual transmission would be nice!
iCloud as well, if it’s not too much to ask for!
2018-08-03
Great Game
The game is simple, relaxing and intuitive. The only problem I have is the game keeps resetting my progress, if the fix that I’d easily give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
2018-07-31
Terrible mechanics
I understand most people playing don’t drift in real life but these mechanics are the worst I’ve ever seen. Car has no option to increase horsepower and anything. No manual option. YOU GIVE US A TIP TO TRY MANUAL MODE AND DONT EVEN HAVE IT!!! Waste of money...
2018-07-29
I want to give 5 stars but....
This is one of the best drifting/racing games I’ve played on the App Store....but....I’ve lost all my progress 3 times now for unknown reasons (even without an update occurring) and I can’t figure out whether it’s just a mechanic of the game (I hope it isn’t) or if something is wrong with cloud save/updates. Please help.
2018-07-28
KEEPS RESETTING MY PROGRESS!!
When I found this game it looked pretty great, and I was right, then after updating the game it reset my progress and keeps doing so whenever I close and reopen the game. Please fix this it was so fun but now it is pointless 🤬🤬🤬
2018-07-27
Game keeps resetting, but would be fun
Really fun game but the game kept resetting and I’d have to redo all the levels over again, menu writing sometimes gets messed up, but if they fix the reset button it would be pretty fun
2018-07-27
Lots of fun, too short though
A very fun game, I suggest starting out on hard setting, it may be a steeper learning curve but it’s a lot more fun without the assists, or at the very least once you get the hang of it switch to hard. Once I put it on hard I was getting scores I couldn’t even come close too on easy. The physics are pretty good, the tracks are diverse and some are quite challenging(or frustrating....lol). I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because it felt too short, and this is the perfect game for player created levels, I hope the implement that at some point, or add more “worlds”.
2018-07-27
Amazing game on PS4/PC - wack on iOS
Deleted all my progress for no apparent reason, didn’t carry my progress between devices, super laggy and low frame rate on iPad Pro 9.7” and drains my iPhone X battery to a ridiculous degree (phone gets hot within minutes, then within about 20 minutes screen brightness is at a minimum and it starts lagging with low frame rate and need to force quit / wait for phone to cool down.)
Want my money back or an update to address all of the above. Ridiculous that Noodlecake (one of my favorite developers until this fiasco) would put this nonsense out.
2018-07-26
UPDATE DELETED MY PROGRESS
The game was going great. There were occasionally some bugs and the controls are OK, but the last update had a problem.
I updated and the beginning story appeared. I drove through all of the tutorials and everything was gone. I had been playing since the game came out and had done a lot. Devs, I really hope you can fix this.
2018-07-25
Best game I’ve ever played until this happened
I’ve played this game on PC and was so excited to see it come out in the App Store.
I bought it in a heart beat and loved every second of it.
1. Graphics, amazing
2. Controlling of the car, amazing
3. Music, amazing
4. The way the blocks flew away when I knocked into them, amazing
The thing that messed it up for me is that when I woke up this morning I hopped onto the game and it hit me with the tutorial...
I am now at square one and lost all my progress.
2018-07-24
Last update deleted all my progress
This is a pretty cool game, but it is way too buggy for a premium title. Menus don’t always work, especially the back button. Worse, menu layout is ridiculous. Want to adjust controls or car setting? You need to exit to a world, hit pause menu, select Main Menu, select controls, adjust controls, then exit all these menus. If that weren’t enough, most of the time the back button doesn’t work and I need to change languages in order to resume playing. Poor optimization makes even a iPhone X slow down and overheat. Controls are average and lack enough customization. The game has no shifting option, but tells you to enable manual shifting to improve control. Feels like a taunt. Finally with the last update all my progress was lost, including unlocked cars and access to other worlds. That just put me over the edge and I’m done with this game. A premium title shouldn’t be this buggy.
2018-07-23
Great Game!
This game is great it simulates drifting really well. The one thing I wish was in the missions(not in the open world) it was a longer time or not timed especially in the tutorials. The only time you can find those courses or tracks are in the missions and you only get a minute at a time per mission. Other than that love the game.
2018-07-23
Please give refund I’m just a kid and I accidentally bought it when I was looking at it.

Good game. And great update! But control...
I am very happy that you guys finally added graphic settings but can you also add button size settings too?
I use 9.7 inch ipad and my thumbs are really tired even with my big hands. Thank you.
2018-07-21
Bigger buttons PLEASE!
The buttons are so small, while you play your fingers miss the button all the time! Fix that, then 5 stars!
2018-07-21
This game may be OK. No tutorial
There is not much of a tutorial so it takes you a while to figure out just how to control the car. Fairly difficult. I’m waiting for it to be fun.
2018-07-20
Great but can’t find manual controls.
Loving the game, bought it the moment I saw it because I had a blast playing the pc version. Controls feel very good, however I have had a few issues that I hope can be solved in the near future (fingers crossed).
1. The ability to adjust the ui size and placement would help quite a lot. Sausage fingers make it hard to consistently hit some of the smaller buttons.
2. We need manual transmission! It would allow for greater car control as it is hard to hear what gear you are in by sound alone. It even suggests it as an on screen tip. Maybe I’m just blind and don’t see it in settings but I can’t find it anywhere.
Anyways, would definitely recommend the game to others, it has some of the best physics out here and the car feel very balanced, so it is easy to 4 wheel drift.
2018-07-19
Least fun version
This game is much more fun to play on the pc or console. It’s too small on an average size phone which makes it difficult. I would not recommend unless driving and drifting on a phone game like a pro is already your thing.
2018-07-18
Worth it
Excellent game, tough at first, just like you want it, so the payoff is big when you get better at drifting, spinning, donuts, jumps. Not about speed, all about the drifts. You basically have different worlds and tracks that all have challenges to unlock the next one....spin under the awning, donut around the lamppost, jump over the building etc..... excellent minimalist/clean art style, responsive controls (I did way better with the joystick compared to the default L/R buttons. Definitely worth the $. Quality games like this need to be supported.
