Thrust in any direction
Acceleration and counter-thrust create a readable skill to learn and improve.

ECHO-7 / WEB PROTOTYPEOne course. Infinite attempts.
Clear the three gates, dock the craft and improve your time. Use WASD or arrow keys on a keyboard; on touch, drag on the arena to thrust.

The project
Precision through momentum.
Drift Protocol is a game concept we are developing around a simple challenge: steering is easy, but stopping and taking the cleanest route takes practice. The public web demo is a focused prototype, not a release build.
Navigate the gates
Obstacle placement makes speed, braking and line choice matter.
Beat your run
A short level and best-time tracker invite another attempt.
Still evolving
Design, scope and future platform plans may change as the game develops.
Developer notes
What we are testing.
Echo-7 is a deliberately small slice of the concept. It lets us focus on whether movement feels satisfying before expanding the scope.
Momentum is the challenge
Thrust builds speed. Releasing input does not stop the craft, so deliberate counter-thrust is part of every clean turn.
Three gates, one destination
The alternating route asks players to read ahead, brake early and choose a line, without a long tutorial.
Your runs inform the next pass
We are looking for notes on responsiveness, difficulty, clarity and whether a second attempt feels rewarding. The browser demo is an adaptation of the in-development game, so visuals and features may change.
