Games like Phaze and Low Grav Racer have tried to create a Wipeout-like game for the iPhone. However, the general response these games are although great, still doesn’t quite make Wipeout proud.

HeroCraft is hoping their upcoming title, nearing about a year of development, is it. Meet Protoxide Racing!

Looks fantastic eh? Keep this in mind. The video above is of a prototype running on a desktop machine. We’re sure an iPhone 3GS can handle it, but can the slower devices do so?

Development Blog

The peeps behind the game just started a development blog to keep track of its, well, development.

Head on over there! They got quite a few posts up already.

Current Features Set

As for the game’s features, here’s the latest list:- 5 different ships to choose from, ranging from the heavy tank-like to the light and fast bike-like

• 4 worlds of 4 racing tracks each, 16 tracks in a total
• 5 weapon types, pick-up bonuses like nitro or nuclear weapons
• Quick race and career modes
• Multiplayer over WiFi
• Hall of fame, both local and online
• 3D stereo sound, cool music
• Motion sensor controlled steering (or swipe controlled if you’d prefer)
• Player profiles. So that when your little brother asks you for iPhone, he won’t destroy your championship progress
• Game encyclopedia, if you’d like to know what exactly which bonus or weapon means

If the video above convinced you, make sure to keep up to date with this upcoming title. We’re sure we will!
