Hello, mister Developer! I love your game - it’s really well done and a lot of fun to play... BUT! I’m HARD STUCK on the Story Mission for Viv - Snow Mountain Sprint - Time Attack. I’ve been trying to beat it for the last 2–3 days, and my best time was just 2 seconds short... Could we please add at least +2 seconds to the target time? I even watched a GUIDE on how to beat that race... and I still can’t do it. Everyone seems to be using some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ glitch where their car spins 90 degrees in a millisecond and then goes straight up. I’ve been trying to do the same thing, clicking the same stuff, but it just doesn’t work with my controller. I physically can’t beat this ♥♥♥♥ ;( It’s really frustrating because I can’t keep progressing through the game or unlock the other stuff. Please consider making the target time a little more forgiving. 🙏🙏🙏

Game is extremely fun. my only complaint is that the XC difficulty with ibba is damn near impossible. Im not bad at racing games by any means, Ive owned this game on two different steam accs. The times required to beat the missions are unrealistically high, Id argue some cannot be beaten even with a near perfect line. every other character's XC difficulty feels as if its on easy mode compared to ibba. Other than that the game is extremely addictive and worth the purchase.

holy fun as ♥♥♥♥ game, understanding and mastering a car and beating a track that's super ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the story is most rewording feeling ever. i got it off of xbox live gold (when that still existed) like 3 years ago and only now getting back into it on my pc. the machines feel ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing, the art style is really comfy to look at, all the cars are really unique and fun to use (some feel like straight ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but it's also fun to rain in those annoying ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥) the story honestly didn't do anything for me but it's nice that you get know who you're fighting and who you're driving as. also don't be fooled, vivs car is NOT as hard ibbas. ibbas car is some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ clunky ass ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. like why does the break straighten you out?!?!? JUST SLOW ME DOWN LIKE ALL BREAKS IN THE HISTORY OF BREAKS. i still need to get into the twilight rivals dlc but even the base game if worth getting. (also it's super cheap in instant gaming, you can get both the game and the dlc for like 2 euro) and if you're more casual there's cars that are really easy to use and you can just drift around the scenery, that is also one hell of a vibe. also fire sound track

This is my favorite time-trial game of all time. If you like racing or time-trial/speedruns, you should play this. I recommend this to everyone as I think everyone can get something out of this gem of a game. The mechanics are simple to use, yet deeper than you can see. There are many different cars, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Every car has it's own unique set of drift angles, with in-betweens, softspots, and sweetspots to find, each modified within itself by your acceleration, braking, or lack of either. Each car can take each turn in different ways, and you get to figure out the best way to set up each turn for the next. You will feel competent and accomplished when you learn a new way to take a turn with a difficult car, and realize you've found a trick just for yourself, just to beat a challenge. The graphics are beautiful, the audio design is top-notch, the music creates the ideal atmosphere. While I don't care for the character designs or much of the writing in the story mode, I have to lavish on the story mode and the way it represents all the different kinds of players and what they will get out of Inertial Drift. You can play casually and have a great time just existing within these carefully designed tracks, drifting to your hearts content. You might want to take on the challenge and push yourself to the extreme, stretching your own limits to learn what you can really do. You might want to compete in the online leaderboards (which are split into each track and car!) and join the community to learn from everyone and find new ways to shave a second off your time. Whatever your motivations and desires, there are characters in the story mode written to encourage you, their struggles and successes parallel with yours. It's a very commendable accomplishment of the devs/writers. No matter why you play this game or what you hope to get out of it, you'll have a good time. Whether it's a short 10 hours story mode in and out, a 20 hour achievement hunt, or 100+ hours of grinding lakeside loop with a C-class car to try and get 8th on the leaderboard, this game delivers on all fronts. 10/10

This is actually a fighting game, but the opponent is the clock It's not a racing game. Each car has a unique control scheme, in a way that I've never seen before. It's deceiving because no where in the menu does it say, "you literally have to press different buttons in different orders to drive this car." Taking each corner perfectly requires putting in the right "combo" essentially. Absolutely recommend this on sale. I think the amount of content is a little light for $20, but $10-$15 bucks plus the dlc, buy it. ----- That said I have 2 complaints... or well notes. Firstly, this one is subjective. The character design is an absolute turn off, it's the reason I waited 6 years to buy the game. I saw it a very long time ago, I just can't vibe with any of the character designs. I can tell you it was worth it, just ignore the characters. Secondly, menus could have been planned out better. Once you're in the game you're greeted with a really sparse menu, which doesn't really point out which order the content is designed to be played it. It's Story, Challenge then Grand Prix. With the Rivals dlc being afterwards. The story menu is the same way, it's actually a difficulty selection screen, not a character selection. The game gradually ramps up difficulty so you will want to play those in order. ----- Overall I just wish I'd given the game a chance sooner. And honestly hope we get a sequel... This feels like the proof of concept for an amazing franchise. Adding things like actual opponent cars to race against, instead of every race being a "Time attack ghost." Better character descriptions, including recommendations on how to control the car on corners. better UI/Menu design in general. And races against up to 4, maybe 6 other cars could be super chaotic and fun on these tight tracks. There's a lot of little improvements that could make a sequel even closer to perfect.
