Thumb Drift – Tips, Tricks, Cheats, How to Beat, and Strategy Guide

Thumb Drift is a new game for the iOS and Android platforms where your goal is to drift for as long as absolutely possible. Drift for a long distance, collect as many coins as you can, and you can even purchase and collect new cars that you can do even more drifts with, as well as new stages and areas. Read on for some tips and tricks for Thumb Drift!

You unlock each level by driving a certain number of yards overall. For example, once you hit 2,000 yards overall in the initial stage (Gymkhana), you will be able to go to Forest Road. The gameplay is different in each new level that you unlock, due to the various different level design traits. For example, in Forest Road, you can drive into the grass, but you will not lose speed if you do.

Just like most racing games, you will want to take the straightest possible line that you can. If you are coming up on an S-curve, sometimes it can be better to resist the urge to try to follow the center line of the level. Instead, go as close to straight as you possibly can, making shallow turns, and only turn as much as you need to in order to to make it through the turns.

Once you finish a level, you can hit the share button to earn 100 free coins. If you do not want to actually share but you still want the free coins, hit the share button, then when the prompt comes up, hit cancel. You won’t share it anywhere, but you will still earn the free coins. Do this as many times as the game will let you for instant and fast free coins.

You can unlock cars in this game as you earn coins. They generally have similar performance characteristics, including similar levels of slip, but they will give you a different look when you pick them. The main performance difference is that a smaller car makes for a smaller target. Pick the smaller car for that small performance gain.

After each level you can watch a video to double the amount of coins that you earn, but generally it is not worth it unless you earn quite a few coins. Collect as many coins as you can throughout each level, so that you not only have more of a reason to use this free bonus, but so that you can get more of the goodies that you want in the first place.
