Gunman Lets You Play LaserTag With Your iPhone

Gunman is a augmented reality game for your iPhone which lets you play lasertag against your friends.

Laser tag meets urban paintball in an epic battle against your friends--a heart pounding adventure that puts you and your iPhone directly in the line of fire. You have been recruited by Shadowforce to join an elite unit charged with taking out rogue agents (your friends) in the local area. Find a quick hiding place (a balcony or a dark corner will suffice) and dig in before the shots start flying.

Here's the run down:
-The game can be played anywhere but is best played in well lit areas
-The game uses the iPhone camera with a scope overlay and requires OS 3.1
-Select a time-limit for a quick match or the unlimited option for an extended battle
-Specify your opponent's shirt color so that your enemy can be detected
-Both hits and misses are counted so accuracy is important
-Multiplayer mode requires a WiFi connection to connect participants
-When you get hit by your opponent your iPhone will vibrate
-When you need to reload your weapon, shake your iPhone
-At the end of the game, the scores are tallied in a mission summary
-Screenshots captured during gameplay allow you to review your best shots (and catch cheaters)
-You can save your favorite shots to your photo album or send them to your Twitter followers at the end of the match

The game is played in three modes:
One on One: Anyone is fair game. Specify your enemies shirt color and go wild. Our enemy recognition technology will take care of the body count, you take care of the shooting.

Multiplayer: A free-for-all WiFi bloodbath. It's you versus the world. Take out rogue agents in the local area and show them no mercy. The score matters, so watch your back.

Pro Mode: For experienced players who are too awesome for enemy color detection. In Pro Mode, your first thirty shots are saved for your review at the end of the match regardless of whether they are hits or misses, so make sure they are good ones.

You can purchase Gunman from the App Store for $0.99 (limited time).
