Rubberbandits video game announced for iOS and Android

The Rubberbandits... on your mobile phone? Yep, believe it or not, Limerick's finest will be coming to iOS and Android handsets later this year.

The app, titled 'The Revenge of Stephen Forward' is developed by Open Emotion a Limerick-based studio best known for their PSP Mini downloads, including the likes of Mad Blocker Alpha and Ninjamurai. We caught up with the team a few months back although they were tight-lipped on upcoming projects at the time.

For the official word on the upcoming title, we'll leave it to Open Emotion: "RubberBandits: The Revenge of Stephen Forward is an iOS, Android game based on Limericks most succesful Hip Hop group.

"With scenarios written by The Rubberbandits themselves. Jock goats that fire lasers, Free Willie O DJ from Jail for assaulting a dole queue – Play as Willie O DJ and assault a dole queue. This game will be an amazing amalgamation between Open Emotion (Well renowned for interesting Gameplay) and The RubberBandits for amazing humour.

"The game will launch in mid 2012, and a playable demo will be available at Games Fleadh 2012 on the 14/15th of March. This is a title we’ve been looking to make, since our company formed and we are stupendously excited about creating something truly brilliant! YURT!"
