Comments on Sideways for Android

★★★★★ KetchupCF · Aug 16, 2026
Really Fun drifting game with cool visuals and physics which don't get boring, Love the music too. There's some slight bugs here n there, but the overall package is neat. Also, it would be great if there's a reset race option in free roam and more things to do in it, some more car customization would be great and also hope the dev adds more music. This is my go-to game when I feel like doing nothing these days but laze, eager to see the future of this one!
★★★★★ Ayham · Feb 2, 2026
