Graphics
Shift Race uses low-end graphics which can run on many devices. While not fancy, these graphics accurately depict the 3D environment, your truck, and the snow.
The UI will show you controls, a compass, the time remaining, and the number of stars collected. While it may appear cluttered, everything is legible and easy to follow.
Simple gameplay
The gameplay is extremely straightforward, as you’ll steer a truck along an endless path until you crash. This unsophisticated loop can quickly become addicting as you attempt to beat your record after each failure. The main menu reflects this repetitive loop, your only options are playing the game or exiting the app.
The title’s controls may feel challenging to get used to at first because the left-right buttons are located on one side, while the forward and reverse buttons are on the other.
Dodge, drift, and drive
Shift Race is a simple yet compelling game that may not offer a lot of challenges for more experienced gamers. If you’re considering playing the title, you’ll need to adapt to the awkward control layout. However, due to the repetitive nature of this game, you’ll quickly adjust to using one side of your screen for left and right direction controls.
Thanks to the simplicity of its game mechanics, the game can run on older devices. The older-style graphics also aid in this, as it's easier for older devices to process. As the game can run without any internet connection, it’s ideal for less powerful Android devices.
