    Lub vs Dub: A 2 player (and single player!) game with a lot of heart!

    'a brilliant blast of twisting platform genius' - Pocket Gamer

    "A smart twist on the common endless runner genre" - IGN

    'at its most hilarious against other payers' - iPhoneClub

    Lub vs Dub is an award-winning competitive 'infinite runner' with a twist - two players run at the same time, on the same device! Run, Jump and Flip around either side of the central ECG line, collecting hearts and using power-ups to boost your performance, and hinder your opponents!

    Winner of several ‘Best Game’ and ‘Best Tech’ awards at 2013’s Scottish Game Jam, Lub vs Dub merges the simplicity of infinite running, with the competitive battles of racing games in a slick, minimalist, heart-beat themed world. All of this on one device where both players hold the iPad between them and battle it out in real time.

    And if face to face competition isn’t your thing (or you just want to practice on your own) there is a full featured single player mode with it’s own gameplay style, power-ups, leaderboards and achievements.

    Features:

    Frantic & fun 2-player competitive battles - on the same device!
    Single Player Mode - full featured game mode with unique gameplay!
    Slick, fast, and gorgeous minimalistic Retina Ready graphics!
    Universal Binary - play the game on your phone or iPad!
    GameCenter - Leaderboards to climb and Achievements to earn!

    Let me know what you think, and whilst it has a pretty robust single player - please give the 2 player a try with a friend/family member/cat, thats the award winning bit!

    A6WX69NYHTMH redeemed. Thanks! Can't promise I'll be able to try out the 2 player mode right now, but you can bet I'll post some impressions in a little bit. :)

    Thanks. :)

    About moving the thread: Even though nothing's in concrete, normally when apps are universal, threads are made in the iPhone/iPod touch section. Games with threads that are only in the iPad section are usually considered iPad Only. Plus, you'll get much more exposure here. ;)

    That said, since this indeed a universal title, you're entirely free to create a second thread (that won't replace this) in the iPad section if you want to. :)

    Only played single player so far absolutely love it. Very well made and executed. Style-wise (not gameplay-wise) like PUK and Bitless.
    This is a proper high score runner which takes skill, precision and some luck (and no IAPs). Would be great to see the leaderboard swell.
    I'm Off on holiday next week and this'll replace OLO to play with my kidz on 2 player. Absolute peach of a game. Hope it does well.

    Reminds me that I'd love to see Vib Ribbon on iOS. Russian Dancing Men is fundamentally the same game, but I'd still love to see the original VR.

    I love this "clean" art style :) I played it and it is a really nice endless game. If you like games as Super Hexagon, then it is a good choice.

    While the single player mode in itself is challenging, reaction-testing, heart-rate increasing fun, I made the mistake of checking out the 2 player mode by myself and cannot wait until I play this with my girlfriend. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say if you own an iPad and are into side-scrolling endless runners, you have to own this. This and Canabalt. That's it. While I do love a lot of other endless runners, these are the bare necessities. Canabalt for that (still) unparallelled experience and this to scratch that multiplayer itch. It's seriously that good.

    Other than that, what I want to say can't be said any better than the above mentioned quote. So I'm posting it here again and shutting up:

    “a ridiculously solid, polished and complete entry... a triumph of game design” - Calm Down Tom

    This just came out of nowhere and (no pun intended) stole my heart. What a stupid bargain for a dollar without IAPs! Highly, highly recommended.

    There's a whole lotta love in this th--yeah, I'll stop. :p

    Trust me guys...it hasn't been said in this thread, but I'm with everyone who says "endless runners have gotten stale and I don't want anymore". No. Make space for this. Like I said above: You need it.

    You...stay away from me! :p Oh God...I'm already second on the leaderboards. *sees SOS & Andy waving from afar and runs away*

    Is it possible to change the buttons so I can jump by tapping on the left side?

    Not at the moment, but we can probably add that function into the next update as we already support it happening with the 'concussion' power in 2-player :)

    Screenshot 5 shows the jump button on the left side ?!
    Good i waited a minute to look for an answer. In this case,
    no buy until it's available. Too much used to that layout.
    Any video ?

    Thank you and thanks to Sanuku.

    Since the update should be coming (change buttons) and i can't
    resist to a good runner, i'm buying it in this very minute.

    Gameplay looks buttersmooth with good controls and excellent music.

    Edit: plays great but i'm too confused with this layout. Since there isn't (yet, i hope) a screen
    orientation, i tried to play it upside down but it's not comfy at all. Eagerly waiting.
