Play Sideways After Dark

The city sleeps. You slide.

Free on iPhone in the Roam app. Android coming soon.

Sideways After Dark is all about the angle. You pick a track, starting with Harbor Docks and its Container Loop, and throw a purple sports car sideways through corners lit by neon and city lights. Stars on each track give you something to chase, and the Garage is where your car gets better. It is one of the drift racing games you can play free on iPhone, in the Roam app. The first menu shows the track name, your stars and the Garage, and PLAY is one tap away.

If you play CarX Drift Racing

CarX Drift Racing made mobile drifting serious: pick a car, pick a track, hold a slide and tune in the garage. Sideways After Dark has the same loop with a night-city style, from the Harbor Docks onward.

It is lighter and quicker to start, with one menu screen between you and the track.

Both games share the core pleasure: holding a car at an angle through a corner and staying in control.

Tips for your first drift

Start on Harbor Docks. It is the first track for a reason, and the Container Loop is a good place to learn the angle.

Check the Garage between runs to see what you can improve.

Learn one track well before moving on. Knowing where the corners come lets you set up each slide early.

What sets it apart from other drift racing games

Many drift racing games chase realism: tire temperatures, tuning sliders, daylight tracks. Sideways After Dark goes for mood instead. Every track is at night, lit by neon and harbor lights.

It suits players who want the feel of a good slide without a garage full of settings.

The purple car against the neon is half the fun. It looks good in motion and on the menu.
