We announced this back at SXSW, but decided to do a little more in depth look at the game on the blog. When our friend Jason Eisener mentioned he wished there was a HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN game, we set forth to make that dream a reality. Using games like DOUBLE DRAGON 2, RIVER CITY RANSOM and FINAL FIGHT as inspiration, we teamed up with Alamo Drafthouse and Game Salad to create a side scrolling 8-bit NES style bloodbath for the iPhone.
We also put together a full-sized cabinet version of the game for the SXSW premiere of the film.

More levels, enemies and bosses will be made available as free updates leading up to the film’s release May 6. We’re planning to release the game’s soundtrack on the website as well. And look for the brutal Jeff Proctor HOBO WITH A SHOTGUN poster to go on sale this week.
Hobo with a Shotgun: The Game is available here. (Note: It requires iOS 3.0 or higher and is compatible with iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, 3rd and 4th Generation iPod touch and all models of iPad)
We were fortunate enough to work with some amazing artists to produce posters for select movies at SXSW 2011. These were offered to attendees at the fest at our Austin location, but we didn’t forget about our online fans. We made sure to hold onto a few of each poster for everyone that couldn’t make it down to Austin and today, we are releasing them into the wild. There are only a small quantity of each poster left, so good luck!
