Nebula Drift
A one-thumb arcade racer through procedurally generated nebulae, built for short, addictive sessions.
Overview
Nebula Drift is a fast arcade racer where players slingshot around planets and drift through neon nebulae. Each run is procedurally generated, so no two sessions are the same.
- Target frame rate
- 60 fps
- Session length
- ≈ 90 s
- Controls
- One thumb
The challenge
Deliver console-like speed and visual richness on mid-range Android phones while keeping controls simple enough for one thumb.
Our solution
We built a GPU-friendly particle and shader pipeline, a gravity-assist control scheme tuned through dozens of playtests, and a rewarded-ad economy that never interrupts a run.
