How to play Overnight Drift
Steer a neon car along a winding road, collect coins, and survive as long as possible while the pace steadily climbs.
Overnight Drift is a one-button game — you only ever hold or release a single input. Holding your chosen button or key turns the car right; releasing it turns the car left. Everything about steering comes down to timing those two states.
The road curves continuously, so you need to anticipate bends and time your holds and releases to keep the car on the pavement. Drifting off the road ends your run.
Coins are scattered along the road. Drive over them to add to your score. The game also tracks a personal best, which is saved between sessions, and will flag a new best on the result screen when you beat it.
The pace increases the longer you last, so the same inputs that worked early will demand quicker reactions as the run goes on. After a crash, click or press Space to start a new run immediately.
