Dust Circuit Rush

Dust Circuit Rush is pure arcade racing with no pretense. You drift around dusty tracks, dodge rocks and chase your own best times. The tilt and touch controls both work, and I settled on tilt for the loose, sliding feel.

There's a light progression where you unlock new cars and tracks, all stored on the device. No timers, no waiting, just race whenever you want. The sense of speed is genuinely good for a phone game.

It won't win awards for depth, but as a five-minute palate cleaner it's excellent. The soundtrack is louder than it needs to be, so keep your headphones ready.
