Last year we reported that Sebastian Gosztyla's new game, Dual, was theorized to be released sometime during the summer of 2014. Sadly that did not become a reality, but the good news it there is now an official release date.

Dual will be coming out on April 2, which is right around the corner. Dual will let you play a pong-like game between two people in real space. That means that your phone and your friend's phone will each make up 1/2 of the screen. As you shoot towards your opponent, they will have to defend by physically moving their phone.

This is an innovative and exciting-looking new app. Dual will be available for free with a single in-app purchase to unlock all features. You can check out Dualfor yourself this Thursday.

Sebastian Gosztyla, a programmer for such games as Guilty Party and Avengers Initiative, wanted to make games less escapist and more interactive with other human beings. After experimenting with different gameplay styles he has come up with Dual.

The game involves two players and each of their screens make up half of the play area. Players fling missiles at each other and attempt to doge them by physically moving and tilting their phones. The game communicates between phones using bluetooth or wifi on the iPhone and Android, which makes it a great play-anywhere-anytime game.

There is no set release date, but Sebastian Gosztyla is hoping to make Dual available sometime near the end of summer.
