Asphalt 8: Airborne also features licensed music from the likes of Bloc Party, Mutemath, and The Crystal Method — music that is sure to have your heart racing.
But the feature that gives the game its subtitle is the integration of a new physics engine that allows for dynamic aerial stunts. As a result, you can become airborne by going off ramps, performing barrel rolls, and doing 360-degree jumps and other gravity-defying manuevers.
Asphalt 8: Airborne is available now in the App Store for $0.99. Tipping the ones-and-zeros scale at nearly 900MB, The game is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 5.0 or later.
