Tail Drift

A very poor, very unfinished copy of the actually good SkyDrift. Tail Drift only contains two tracks, one of which is locked behind a wall of highly repetitive grinding for plane upgrades. The camera is nightmarish, not at all following your plane how you'd think it would and making the game a "delight" for those of us who are prone to bouts of vertigo. Should you power through the grind and unlock track number two you'll find there's nothing beyond that point. Tail Drift has multiple "coming soon" images throughout the game showcasing features which are clearly never going to be added. Best to avoid this one, folks.

Worth a little time in a bundle but nowhere near a $9.99 game. 5/10 in a bundle 1/10 at full price. Don't pay more than $1 for it.

Super cool premise with interesting level design. Unfortunately it looks like it's been abandoned with no updates in 10 years. Oof. Guess Early Access is a risk.

This is an abandoned early access tablet ported "racing" game where you fly a plane that can only travel along a tubular track. Resolution is fixed, and being a mobile port, it looks and plays badly, cementing once more the fact that mobile games don't belong on PC. The developer has the audacity to charge $10 USD for this on Steam, but they give it away free on mobile. Do these jerks think PC gamers are suckers ready to be price gouged? I can't recommend anyone rewards this morally bankrupt greed and pays money for a PC game that's free for mobile gamers.

Tags: Casual - Runner Additional Tags: Delete Local Content & Remove from Library TLDR: Eternal Early Access. Unity Engine. Sluggish controls. Abandonned. Outcompeted. This is a miniracer centered around flying around a tube. The tube runner aspect is secondary, and the tube is mostly just there as a visual aid so that you do not get confused by lack of flying freedom. As such you are better off playing a decent kart racer, racer transformed actually has similar flying segments and is just much more fully featured. https://store.steampowered.com/app/212480/Sonic__AllStars_Racing_Transformed_Collection/ If you would prefer stick with planes and would like the freedom of flight maybe check Disney Planes https://store.steampowered.com/app/286880/Disney_Planes/

TL;DR - a promising and unique racing game that was abandoned by its developers before it was finished. As a result, I have to say pass on it. Since the game is unfinished, it's short. Even going for a triple-star rating in everything only took 2 hours, and it's been a little over two years since the last update, so the game isn't getting any longer. A good portion of those 2 hours was repeating races, because racing well requires mostly just memorization of the course, which can be hard when the entire course is a checkered tube. I really enjoyed the challenges where you had to make the most of your fuel/momentum, as they forced you to compensate for the unique nature of the track, and it made me excited for all of the possibilities the developers might implement. Unfortunately, they never did. There's not a lot to say about the game, because there's not a lot of game. I can't really recommend it.
