Absolute Drift Beta – a masterpiece of burnt rubber and minimalism

VVV: "The aesthetic of the game is decisively minimalistic, with most of the game world sticking to a red white colour scheme (drifting = Japanese = red and white flag). Your car also constantly leaves rubber on the track – thankfully there’s no tire wear because you’d have no tires after 5 minutes. However, the tire tracks are probably one of the most distinguishable features of the game, giving it a really abstract, artistic feel. Heck, you can probably draw things if you’re good enough.

Trying to describe the aesthetic makes the game sound really boring, and on paper it should be. But it’s really not, infact its addictive as hell and I can’t quite put my finger on why. I can see this becoming my new game to play when I’ve got 5 minutes to kill. This is coming from someone who usually hates overhead racing games."
