'Low Grav Racer' Screenshots and Coming Soon

Some readers had asked about the fate of CobraMobile.com's Low Grav Racer for which we'd seen an early video.
CobraMobile was kind enough to send on these new screenshots of the game which has just been submitted to the App Store. The game should appear in the next couple of days.
In the meanwhile, here are some screenshots to enjoy.
Alléchant!!! <3
I mean… definately exciting!!!
I think, we can expect a very polished game. It's made by Cobra and all of their games are very good and very polished.
Those screenshots are really good in terms of graphics! I hope the gameplay can live up to it. Although, i DO have too many racers already…
Reminds me of Nintendo's F-Zero X, which is available as VC-Title for the Wii console.
Fantastic! I'm not huge on racers, generally, but that's a specific type I actually enjoy. Hopefully the soundtrack will live up to the mood of the game, even if I doubt they'd have the budget to commission folks like FSOL or Prodigy. But then, there's a wealth of musical talent out there..
It sure looks like a F-Zero clone but that's not really a bad thing seeing as I played almost all F-Zero games and loved them.
I'll be keeping an eye on this.
I really hope they've implemented a touch control system like Snail Mail – there are times and places where tilt control is unpractical.
Yeah, the touch control system of Snail Mail works really fine – you even don't want to use any other system, like buttons, d-pad or tilt control.
Um, the photos and gameplay make it look like an early beta of Wipeout.
I mean, a LOT like Wipeout.
In fact, if I didn't know better, I'd say this was Wipeout.
Slightly disappointing in the lack of innovation. They should come talk to me about that
Those screenshots are square–so I'm assuming they're not the shots submitted to the app store, but rather images of some earlier version on another phone.
Pictures are NOT square.
Click one to see for yourself.
;*)
And it's true that it's so much like WipeOut that I'll be buying this one upon release.
I just hope it'll be just smooth as Snail Mail.

@Lost:
Wow. Thanks for this link.
Seems to be a very polished game!
Like the smooth framerate and the sounds (gliders and weapons).
As a lover of the WipeOut series, I already count the days!!
i like the orange distance fog alot. looks like youre racing on mars.
@ your personal robot : thanks, I'm counting too! ^_^
Wow. Just watched the YouTube video of it. Thanks for posting that Lost. Looks awesome. I want it. ..Agreed with mikeadams: that distance fog effect is pretty darned nice.
Definitely looks more F-Zero than WipeOut as far as ships and tracks are concerned, but the weaponry system feels more aggressive (more like WipeOut) to me. About time a good ship-racer turned up. We've got plenty of car racers, a good motorcycle one, a good powerboat one too. That's just about enough to keep me happy. (Tho a Waverace clone would be nice.)
you guys realize that the video is linked from the article itself too?
You're assuming we hit this discussion from the article arn.
I like those animating clouds. They definitely add something to the look. Makes it harder to mask the limited draw-distance, but it's a small sacrifice to make for added awesomeness.
