About This Game

The Rush is a horizontal shoot 'em up with an MSX inspired art style and plenty of that arcade excitement (without a hunger for quarters)!

Features:
  • 8+ Unique stages
  • Many enemies and boss fights that (I severely hope) are fun and challenging
  • 13 different weapons that can be mixed and matched with one another
  • 2 Playable ships with unique weapon variations
  • Some surprising exploits I decided not to fix because they can help you out
  • An easter egg or two...
  • An OST that was a collaborative effort between yours truly and my good friend BuckChickens
  • Controller Support from start to finish!

Controls:
  • Default keyboard controls are WSAD for movement, L to shoot, K to bomb
  • Alternate keyboard controls (which can be enabled in the options menu) use Arrow Keys for movement, Z to shoot, X to bomb
  • For either keyboard control method, enter is start/pause/confirm
  • On controller "A" is shoot and "B" is bomb, with "Start" acting as start/pause/confirm

  • Holding alt and pressing enter will enable/disable true fullscreen mode

Thank you for checking out The Rush! Do not hesitate to voice your opinions regarding anything in game.
