Why are those 2d side scrolling hill climbing racing games on mobile so compelling to me?
Maybe it's because they've got a very very simple control scheme which actually works on a touch screen (touch left of screen: brake/rotate clockwise in air, touch right of screen: accelerate/rotate anti clockwise in air).
@fuchsiashock i like the asphalt 8 control scheme too, brake/drift left, gas/nitro right, tilt to steer
@f0x Yeah, simple controls are best on that platform, for sure.
