We've now closed the testing application form, and everyone that applied before now should have a spot in our testing team. You guys can expect your first beta build within the next day! Expect there to be more info and video from the game soon now.
Actually we decided to put the build up a bit early (i.e. now!), so the waiting is over. Check your email
AH!!!!!! B@!!$ HO!Y SH!+ !$#^#%!!!!!!! Installing now! Permission to give gameplay impressions? Bugs/recommendations won't be posted.
Equilibrium on DRUGS!!! This game is literally based on the first fight scene of the movie. With you, a lone gunslinger standing in the middle of the screen (with a spotlight) shooting enemies that will come from 6 directions (3 on each side, left and right) in any combination. Tap the enemies to shoot. Enemies fire after 1.5 seconds of showing up. You're scored points determined on your speed. The coolest thing imo is the ability to shoot two guys at once. Simple, huh? Well, the game can get REALLY fast. OMG I'll stop writing a freaking review now... This is only intended to give first impressions of the game but I ended up describing it... Screw LIFE!!! I've got a freaking assignment due NEXT MONDAY (it's Wed afternoon here) and #%^!@#&#$&(^$ (<- WTF???)
LOL @ "Equilibrium on DRUGS". Strangely enough, you're not the first person to say that Sincerest thanks for being involved man, you've actually given us some really useful feedback.
It's been a while since we've posted in this thread, but that's only cos we were super busy finishing the game! It's now been submitted to Apple and we will announce our release date in the next few days. We're also putting together a video of some gameplay footage, which we will post here tomorrow, as well as a launch trailer for a bit later. So check back tomorrow to see Gun Fu in action! In the meantime, here's a preview of the game at iFanzine.
That's great news can't wait for this to come out so I can compete against other people's onslaught score Oh and how about the Icon was it decided on yet ?
Yeah, you'll probably notice it's different to the one you've seen with the beta. We tried a heap of variations, but we think the one we landed on represents the game and the art style quite well.
Here's the promised gameplay footage! This shows off the game's main mode, "The 10 Trials", in which the player goes up against increasingly difficult waves of enemies. There's a special place for players who can beat all 10 trials, in the "Hall of Immortals" leaderboard. We filmed it off-screen so you can get a feel for how intense the action is for the player.

It was a great experience testing and now with the game about to be release I can't wait for everyone to get in on this,not trying to brag (ok just a little bit) bit I still hold the title for top kills in onslaught on IPad so looking forward to some competition
Yup, loved the game concept, art style and general gameplay. However, it can get old quickly, due to a lack of gameplay differentiation.
Thanks for all the feedback and support guys! The game at launch with its two modes was intended to be very streamlined in its concept and execution, but as our testers have seen on the "Begin" menu, there is a third mode on the way, and we just might get a bit more crazy and different there. Today I'd also like to announce our release date - Gun Fu will be launching this Thursday, September the 8th! We're really excited for more people around the world to join in the global competition on OpenFeint and Game Center. We'll be back soon with the launch trailer!
Had a great time beta testing this game and can't wait for the big release! It's gonna be HUGE! This is SO fun to play! As the bad guys appear, you've only got a split second to shoot 'em before they disappear. You're going for your fastest time, and and if you fail, it's your own dishonor! It starts out slowly for the first few enemies, then it starts to get crazy! You don't have much time and there's no room for mistakes as the enemies get all around you and the fun is just off-the-hook as you shoot in different directions at the same time! It just feels so cool when you're doing that and the shooting sounds are so loud and realistic, it makes the experience really satisfying. Some enemies need more than one hit, which adds to the tension, as you find yourself going nuts shooting in all directions blowing everyone away as fast as you can! Heard the devs are cooking up a different mode or two to add to this already great game, so it's gonna get even more insane! I don't see how anyone would want to miss out on this game and I can't wait to play it when it's released! It's got a giant helping of that 'one more time' game play that keeps you coming back again and again 'cause you KNOW you can do it better next time! Just a coupla days to wait now.......
I too was a beta tester for this wonderful little gem. I can see all the spin-offs of this but none will ever be quite as epic as this. cant wait to hear all the impressions but you have mine right now. instabuy
