Blackbeard’s ‘Mega Drift’ Powerslides into the App Store on April 16th

Chillingo and Blackbeard Games have just announced a new title that promises to combine auto-runners with car drifting, in Mega Drift. The game’s goal is to race through levels, trying to drift successfully around corners. It’s a one-tap game, as you tap to start a drift, and release when necessary, trying to come out of the turn in a straight line, giving you a boost that will let you reach the next checkpoint. If you’re good at drifting and understand the mechanics of it, you’ll likely be good at this game! If not, then you’ll need to learn in order to do well!

I’ve played a bit of this, and it’s remarkably challenging, but I also stink at drifting. I’m curious to play more, because maybe I’ll finally understand how to be a drift master? I was solid at drift turboing in Mario Kart DS, but my skills have eroded since then. There’s a bunch of courses to race through, with myriad cars to unlock and upgrade as you try to become the best drifter on Earth. This one releases on April 16th.
