Fast-paced, reaction-based, "twitch" games have always been my thing, but rarely have they ever been this simple. RunGunJumpGun blends the brutal level design of a twitch game, the accessibility of an automatic runner and one of the most intuitive control schemes ever conceived. I first played it in early September, just after it launched on Steam. Despite having just two inputs -- shoot and jump -- there's an awful lot more to the game.
Ostensibly, it's an automatic runner -- think Canabalt or the upcoming Mario iOS game -- but with a wealth of gameplay mechanics and ideas added on top. You're always just running, gunning or jumping, of course, but through intelligent level design and a masterful difficulty curve, it stays fresh and taxing throughout its 120 levels.
Today, RunGunJumpGun is out for iOS and Android, and it's perhaps the most challenging, rewarding and downright fun mobile game of the year. Before its release, I spoke with the team behind the title, ThirtyThree Games, to find out how they managed to get so much game out of just two buttons.
