The basic gameplay of Drift Boss is very simple with a one-button mechanism. To control the car, you just need to press to go right and release the button to go left. However, timing and foresight are key to keeping the vehicle on the platform for as long as possible. There are rough spots, like bumps and steep roads, that you have to compensate for when making turns. Some platforms are also more narrow and require precise time synchronization to align properly.
