Just submitted for review.
Simple drift Racing game. Started as a project to try and work with the custom collision. Then decided to make it into a little game.
Collect points on the road while drifting sideways. Get in the zone and feel the zen moment 
Cheers

Great stuff. Well done.
Some more gameplay
Shadows on static objects is where custom collision is in use. Containers for example, is drawn with the shadows in it, then with custom collision you only mask out the container.
The shadow on the car is simple constrain a actor to the cars X and Y + rotation, that actor has the shadow graphic in it.
Android version?
No
not atm.
@skott I've always been a big fan of DCR - this looks great. Have you added controller support to this one?

Thanks man,
No, no controller support. Haven't got time to look at controller support yet.
By the way, the game is out now
Ready to download on the app store:

As far as raw game controls, it's dead simple to implement. The hardest thing would be configuring any graphical menus that are designed for mouse/touch direct access.

Loving this game! Best GS game I've seen in a while!
@tappwater Games thanks, glad you like it
@dgackey Good point, it is another logic for controller setup than touch, hm.. I think we will concentrate on adding more content to the game, before going into controller setup.
@skott, gamepad support is shockingly simple to add. I have a video tutorial if you want to check it out:

Yeah, that is simple
Thanks for sharing. Would take 5 min. to add to the game. It's mor e the menu setup that can be a bigger thing to do. Maybe some day. For now it's only on the app store, so no need for joypad.
Drift Zen Racer 2016 Update in the making.
Happy holidays and a great new year!
