Neon Dash Circuit

Neon Dash Circuit is unapologetically arcade. No tire simulation, no fuel maps — just you, a glowing track, and a boost meter. It nails the feeling of speed, with tracks that twist and dive in ways that get your thumbs sweating.

You pick your control style up front: tilt steering, on-screen buttons, or a hybrid where you tilt but tap to drift. I settled on the hybrid after a few races and it clicked. The responsiveness is spot on, which matters a lot in a game this quick.

The downside is heat. Long sessions warmed my phone up and the battery noticeably dipped, even with the quality slider lowered. If you keep it to a handful of races at a time it's a blast. The soundtrack is also way better than it needed to be.

What we liked

• Three fully different control schemes
