Dust Circuit

Dust Circuit is a snappy arcade racer set across dusty canyons and ruined highways. The handling leans into drifting, and the tracks are short enough for a quick race between stops. Tilt or touch steering both work, and you can tune the sensitivity.

All tracks and cars are stored on the device, so you can race in a basement with no signal. Car upgrades are earned through play, not through waiting, which kept us coming back for one more lap.

It won't replace a full console racer, but as a pocket time-killer it nails the feel of speed.
