J-DRIFT TIME ATTACK TC2K

A retro-style 2D drift time attack game built for quick, intense ghost battles.

Simple buttons. Deep driving.

J-DRIFT is intentionally designed with keyboard and tap-button controls instead of analog steering. It is easy to start, easy to restart, and playable by almost anyone — but shaving off the last few tenths requires real driving sense.

Brake at the right point.
Rotate the car cleanly.
Get on the throttle early.
Carry speed onto the next straight.

The game may look like a compact neon arcade racer, but its driving concept is based on real circuit experience. The creator has driven hundreds of laps at Tsukuba Circuit, and this game was tuned with that feeling in mind: the importance of corner exit speed, rhythm, braking timing, and the satisfaction of nailing a clean lap.

Driving Tips

Each car class has a different personality.

Easy

Easy is not about careful throttle control. Keep the throttle wide open, drift through the corners, and focus on smooth lines.

The key is to avoid unnecessary sliding, keep the car flowing, and lose as little speed as possible.

Pro

Pro builds on the same fundamentals, but throttle work becomes much more important.

You can still drive aggressively, but simply holding full throttle will not always be the fastest way around. Control the throttle, manage the angle, and focus on getting clean exits.

Insane

Insane is exactly what it sounds like.

Even the creator cannot handle it perfectly.
Good luck.

J-DRIFTは、短時間で熱いゴーストバトルを楽しむために作られた、レトロスタイルの2Dドリフト・タイムアタックゲームです。

シンプルなボタン操作。でも、走りは奥深く。

あえてアナログステアリングではなく、キーボード操作やタップ式ボタン操作を採用しています。誰でもすぐに走り出せて、すぐにリトライできる。けれど、最後のコンマ数秒を削るには、本物のドライビング感覚が必要になります。

Easyは、基本的にフルスロットルでドリフトしながら、スムーズなライン取りと速度ロスの少なさを狙うクラスです。 Proではそれに加えて、スロットルワークが重要になります。 Insaneは作者でさえ完璧には扱えていません。みなさん、頑張ってください。

作者は筑波サーキットを実車で何百周も走っており、このゲームはその感覚――コーナー立ち上がりの重要性、リズム、ブレーキング、きれいに1周をまとめる気持ちよさ――を意識して調整されています。

記録を出したら、Xでリザルトをシェアできます。投稿テキストには圧縮されたライバルゴーストデータが含まれており、他のプレイヤーはそれをインポートして、あなたのゴーストと対戦できます。
