🏁 The game begins the moment you slide

VOXEL DRIFT RACER is a top-down arcade drift racer set in a world built entirely out of voxels.
Yank the handbrake just before the apex, hold the angle with throttle and counter-steer, and fire yourself at the exit — how precisely you can repeat that one move is the whole game.

Handling is built on velocity decomposition and a friction circle model. Your tires only have so much grip to give, and every bit you spend on acceleration is grip you no longer have for turning. Drifting isn't a canned animation triggered by a button — it's the result of managing load and traction yourself. Newcomers aren't locked out, though: three levels of drift assist (0–2) and steering presets get you sliding on lap one.

🎮 12 Modes

Racing

• ⏱ Time Attack — set your own lap count and race your own record. Your personal-best ghost runs alongside you.
  
• 🌀 Drift Trial — 60 seconds to bank drift score. Angle, speed and duration all multiply, and an unbroken combo makes the score climb fast.
  
• 🛣 Free Run — no clock, no rules. Learn the line, test a setup.
  
• 🏁 Grand Prix — race up to 8 AI drivers that actually read corners and brake for them. Three CPU difficulties, plus optional adaptive difficulty (DDA).

Arena (6 modes)

• 💎 Crystal Rush — 75s. Grab more of the falling crystals than anyone else.
  
• 🌩 Storm Survival — 60s. The safe zone keeps shrinking. Last one driving wins.
  
• 🦠 Infection — 90s. The infected spread it by contact. Run, or infect everyone.
  
• 🎨 Color Zone — 75s. Everywhere you drive turns your color. Most territory at the buzzer takes it.
  
• 🪨 Boulder Rush — 90s. Outrun the rolling boulders. In the final 30 seconds they come twice as fast.
  
• 💡 Light Trail — 90s, up to 4 players. Your car leaves a wall of light behind it. Touch anyone's wall — including your own — and you're out.

Special

• ☠ Death Rally — floating tracks with no guardrails. Leave the road and you fall.
  
• 🏆 Campaign — a full championship season against 7 fixed rivals. Each round changes the track and the rules; points decide the champion.

📈 Everything you unlock, you earn

There is no premium currency. Every car, part and slot is bought with coins you win by racing — payouts scale with finishing position, score, medals and field size — while your pilot level gates the higher tiers.

• 9 cars — from the starter Neon Drifter to the top-tier Axolotl S. Engine power, top speed, grip, drift tendency, handbrake bite, steering rate and mass all differ. A car that wants to slide and a car that wants to hook up are two completely different jobs.
  
• 17 parts — engines, tires and bodies. Every one is a trade-off: buy top speed and you'll give up rotation.
  
• 5 upgrade lines — stack tiered upgrades on top of your parts.
  
• Medals — every track × mode combination has bronze/silver/gold target times and scores. Golding all 12 tracks is the real endgame.
  
• 34 achievements — from your first drift to a 25x combo, owning every car, or a 3-win online streak. Each pays out coins.
  
• Daily & weekly challenges — fresh objectives every day, with bigger payouts on the weekly.
  
• Ghosts — your best run per track and mode is saved automatically and replays alongside you. Chase the weekly #1 ghost, or export yours as a code and challenge a friend directly.

🧱 Build it, paint it, share it

Half of this game is the editors.

• Track editor — drop a handful of points and a Catmull-Rom spline turns them into a flowing circuit. Tune road width per section, add elevation, surfaces, guardrails, boost pads, obstacles and scenery — then share the whole track as a single code.
  
• Voxel car editor — sculpt your ride one 3D pixel at a time. Feed it side and top images for automatic voxelization, or import a MagicaVoxel (.vox) file directly. Wheels are modeled separately.
  
• Custom cars — distribute 33 points across 6 stats and build your own spec.
  
• Arena editor — lay out your own arena fields too.
  
• And the car you built renders on your opponents' screens exactly as you made it. Seeing your own voxel machine in someone else's mirror is the point.

🌐 Online multiplayer

You're connected to the official servers automatically. Every racing, arena and survival mode runs in real time for 2–8 players.

• Quick match — drops you straight into a waiting lobby regardless of track. If it's a custom map you don't own, the host sends it to you.
  
• Room codes — share a code and race with friends only.
  
• Spectator mode — sit out and follow the leader instead.
  
• Online leaderboards — per track and mode, server-side, with submissions validated before they're accepted.
  
• Live player counts appear on the mode cards and track cards, so you can always see where people actually are.

🎵 A soundtrack that is generated, not played back

There are no music files. The synthwave score is synthesized in real time; the engine note tracks your revs and the tire squeal responds to slip angle. Take the same corner twice and it never sounds quite the same.

⚙ Presentation & options

• Visual style — switch between realistic rendering and toon shading. Light/dark UI themes, plus a separate world-mood setting for the track itself.
  
• Accessibility — colorblind palettes, UI scaling, steering presets, three levels of drift assist.
  
• Controls — fully remappable keyboard plus Xbox gamepad support with rumble, including menu navigation.
  
• Languages — full Korean and English.
  
• Light on your machine — nearly everything is generated in code, so the install is small, and it falls back gracefully when WebGPU isn't available — integrated graphics are enough.
  
• No microtransactions — no loot boxes, no coin packs. Buy it once and it's all there.

⏱ How long is it?

Roughly 3–5 hours to finish the campaign, and 15+ hours to gold-medal all 12 tracks. Add the track editor and online play and there's no ceiling.
