Gunslinger Studios has spun out of Industrial Toys and raised $1.4 million in funding to create one-hand, one-minute multiplayer games for mobile devices. Gunslinger’s first game is Exiles of Embermark, a fantasy warrior-dueling title.

The funding is a rare one in the highly competitive $36 billion mobile game industry, but Gunslinger has a new kind of game that you can play quickly. You equip your warrior and go into a multiplayer duel with another human-controlled warrior. Each player takes a turn attacking or defending until only one warrior is left standing. You can make all your moves using just a single hand, and finish the game in a minute.
