Kite Drift

About the game

Play Kite Drift online

Kite Drift is a sky-steering arcade game: guide a paper kite through drifting stars and storm clouds.

Stars drift down the sky. Catch them for points and build a streak bonus; golden comets are worth triple.

Storm clouds cost a life and break your streak. Wind gusts push the kite sideways every few seconds.

Score 4000 points in 90 seconds to win the run.

Controls

Getting started

1
Steer the kite with your mouse, finger, or arrow keys.
2
Catch stars for 100 points and golden comets for 300; consecutive catches add a streak bonus up to +100.
3
Storm clouds cost one of 3 lives and reset your streak.
4
Wind gusts push the kite sideways every few seconds — steer against them.
5
Score 4000 points within 90 seconds to win.

Strategy

Chase the nearest star, but break off when a storm cloud is drifting into your path — one hit wipes your streak bonus.

Golden comets are worth 300 points, so they are worth a detour even mid-streak.

After a hit you are briefly invulnerable; use that window to grab a star sitting next to the cloud.

Gusts only last one second — steer against them instead of overcorrecting, or you will overshoot the next star.

Keep the kite near the middle of the sky so you can reach stars on either side without a long chase.
