Frequently asked questions

AIRSHIFT is free to download and play. There are no ads and no accounts. Coins are earned by racing; if you want to skip the grind you can optionally buy coin packs with Google Play. Nothing in the game needs a purchase to finish.

No. The story levels, the garage, Endless mode and all controls work fully offline. The internet is only used to download extra maps and vehicles (online content) and for Google Play purchases.

Android 8.0 (API 26) and newer. A phone with 3 GB of RAM or more is recommended for High graphics; use the Graphics setting (Low / Medium / High) if it feels heavy.

About 80 MB to install. Extra maps and vehicles you download later are tiny recipe files (a few kilobytes each), so they cost almost no storage.

Stop the vehicle and keep holding the BRAKE / REV pad (or LT / B on a gamepad). After a short moment the vehicle reverses, and a beeper sounds.

Damage depends on the closing speed and on the mass of both vehicles. A bike hit by a truck loses health very fast; a truck hit by a bike hardly notices. Watch the HP bar at the top left: below 55% the engine loses power and smoke appears.

It keeps you on the map. Touching it never hurts, it only slows you down - a faint cyan grid appears when you are close to it.

In story levels every checkpoint adds time to the clock and refills part of your boost. In Endless mode there is no clock; checkpoints just mark the kilometres you have covered.

There is no finish line and no timer. Drive until the vehicle is destroyed. The road is built in zones; at the end of a zone the next one loads and your coins, health and boost carry over. Your distance is your score and your best distance is saved for each Endless map. You can also leave via Pause → End run & collect, which banks the coins and distance so far.

Four: Wheel / Handlebar, Arrow buttons, Joystick + buttons and Gyro (roll the phone to steer, gas is automatic). Open Settings → Controls Setup to try each one in a live preview, or change it any time from the Pause menu.

Open Controls Setup → Gyro. Use Reverse gyro steering to flip the direction and the Gyro sens slider to make it gentler or sharper. Hold the phone the way you want to drive when the race says GO - that position becomes “straight”.

Yes. Connect any Xbox, PlayStation or generic Bluetooth/USB gamepad. Left stick or D-pad steers, RT or A is gas, LT or B is brake and reverse, X or RB is boost, Y changes the camera and Start pauses. You can also navigate the menus with the pad. The touch controls fade out while you use the gamepad.

Collect coins on the road, make near-misses, hit checkpoints and finish levels with stars. In Endless mode you also get a bonus for every kilometre. Prices are intentionally high so unlocking something feels earned.

From time to time a supply crate drops with a discount offer on a vehicle, a map or a coin pack. Airdrops never give free coins and never offer something you already own. Offers expire after a few hours.

They are downloaded from our server the first time you open the game with internet. Every file is verified with a digital signature before it is used, so nothing can be swapped on the way. Online maps and vehicles are locked and cost coins.

Open the Store and tap Restore purchases. Purchases that were finished while the game was closed are picked up the next time you start it. If the coins are still missing after a few minutes, send us the Google Play order number through Report a bug.

Progress is stored on your phone. If Google Backup is on for your account, Android restores it automatically when you install AIRSHIFT on a new phone with the same Google account. Uninstalling the game without a backup deletes the progress.
