[OVERVIEW = 10]
A 1- or 2-player 2D physics-based car combat game.
[PRESENTATION = 7]
(Graphics = 6) Pixel art. There's a really cool feature that lets you watch a replay after each match and even upload that replay to Youtube.
(Visual aesthetics = 4) It mostly works, but the pixels can make it hard to distinguish the character’s helmets (the targets) from the rest of the cars at a glance, particularly since the cars and helmets change randomly each level (in most modes).
(Sound Effects = 7)
(Voice Acting = none)
(Physics = 9) 2D physics abound as you drive over moving obstacles and tilting platforms.
(Plot = none)
[CONTROLS/MECHANICS = 10]
(100% 2D Driving = 10)
Drive Ahead is a perfect example of how simple controls translate into a deep experience. The goal is to drive onto the head of the other player's car while protecting your own. Ties are possible but rare. Each player has two buttons: accelerate Left and accelerate Right. That’s perfect for a touchpad game, and for a multiplayer game where the concept and execution must be instantly understood by a random friend. Any other buttons, like tilt controls, would have merely complicated things.
(Camera = 8) 2 buttons per player at the bottom is probably the best setup imaginable to avoid obscuring the screen with fingers. Still, in 2-player mode it works a little better on an iPad than an iPhone for space reasons.
(Physics = 10) The exact movement of each car is a physics-calculated result of starting momentum, how long you have held down an accelerate button to the microsecond, the car model, and the angle and friction of the surface you’re driving on. It’s a blend of randomness and control that illustrates how well-programmed physics can make a game infinitely replayable. Cars vary significantly in speed, center of gravity, and special features (like a dump truck that ejects obstacles and a tank that intermittently fires its cannon).
(Friendly AI = none)
(Enemy AI = 9) It appears to be really good when I’ve played against the computer. It can pick up on your errors or alternately can mess up and kill itself on its own, just like real human opponents.
[DESIGN = 10]
(Menus = 8) The game loads fast and lets you select a quick 1 or 2-player game with randomly cycling cars and levels without fuss. The worst aspect is that once a day you get free “coins” to unlock more stuff, which basically just puts an extra menu to click through when you first load the game.
(Level Design = 10) Levels have hazards like collapsing towers, swinging pendulums, etc. If both cars survive too long, fire will rain from the sky or water will drown you from below to create urgency. A few are really creative like a giant spinning wheel.
(Difficulty Curve = 7)
(Upgrade System = 8) There’s a coin system, which buy spins of an unlock generator (new cars, levels, etc.)
(Modes = Singleplayer campaign, Singleplayer arena, Competitive Multiplayer)
You can play with random cars/levels in single or multiplayer, or set specifics if you care to (I don’t). There’s also a campaign with a sequence of challenges, such as kill-5-enemies in car X while you’re in car Y, etc., which I enjoyed. There are microtransactions to speed up unlocks but I kept getting a steady stream of new cars/levels without effort and never needed to pay.
[CONCLUSION]
I haven’t reviewed mobile games before, but I felt compelled to point out that Drive Ahead is the perfect game to pull out for quick games on the go, and is maybe the best 2-player casual game you can find. It’s simple but deep, designed to be endlessly replayable without (unlike most professional-quality games on mobile) being over-designed as if it were supposed to be a console game. It was free when I got it.

Amazing game. The new update is fantastic. Many cars to chose from and lots of them are cool and have a nice design. Controls are a bit hard to master for the first few times you play the game but once you get the into is they'll be second nature. Lots of fun to play alone or with someone. Good game modes.
