Rush, MSX'in klasik uzay nişancı oyunlarından ilham alan grafiklere sahip, yatay olarak kayan bir shoot 'em up oyunudur. Kemerlerinizi bağlayın ve son derece uyarlanabilir Chameleon Quartz uzay savaşçısında ustalaşmak, uzaylı istilacıları tek başınıza yok etmek ve Rush'ı yenmek için gerekenlere sahip olup olmadığınızı görün!
An 8-stage MSX-style shmup with a bit of modern polish to it. Soundtrack is great, and selection of weapons is neat, with mix-and-match capabilities for shot+missiles. Personally, i find combo of triple shot + homing missiles on first ship being great on stages and decent on bosses. While checkpoints are optional, before respawning on checkpoint you get option to select with which powerups you want to handle checkpoint (oh, and did i forgot to say? after dying, all you really lose is your speed-ups), so even though disabling checkpoints makes this game much more comfortable to play for danmaku-leaning shmuppers like me (hitbox there is pretty lenient too! it won't really save you from occasional "sucker punches" from behind though that older style shmups are known for), there's still a reason to use them. There is an option to enable slowdown, however you won't really get to experience that much slowdown outside of late game or maybe higher difficulties. Game's scoring seems to be mostly about just grazing bullets, and, well... just shooting down things. Neat thing is, you can graze bullets multiple times, similar to Psyvariar revision (or, if we want to include an example that non-shmuppers would somewhat understand, Touhou 15). You get score extends every 10000 points, so you do in fact have a reason to score besides "number go big". Difficulty affects score multipler too.

I liked this game! Especially the unique graphics. I also love how accessible game settings are, like editing how much lives you got, and if you restart from a checkpoint or your last position, that's great for people with different preferences. Although I do think a continue option would be very beneficial for this game.
I love this game
good game but you cant ♥♥♥♥ the ship
Not for scrubs like me, this is for people who REALLY hate themselves and like pain. So if that's you go nuts! Hard to argue with free and I can't say it's a bad game since it's clearly made with love but imho... The weapon system has tons of options but none feel powerful and most are basically pea shooters or pea shooters in a different direction. Analog controls feel slippery but d-pad use doesn't feel as responsive as it should (but that could just be me). Suicide bullets from popcorn enemies moment one even on default difficulty, including powerup containers. Enemies can spawn in/move through/shoot through obstacles you can't, etc. The easiest part of stage 1 is the boss (by far) - so that'll tell you something (aka i don't get that kinda level design and pacing myself). So I'm putting "not recommended" because chances are if you're reading this far you're probably not one of the chosen ones who this is for. But hey if you are, more power to you, sweet prince, you are braver than I. :)
It pretty much plays like the Life Force series back on the NES, and just as punishing. Maybe slightly even more unforgiving in my opinion. It requires insane twitch reaction and I am honestly not up for it. I couldn't even get past the second level. It has a cool soundtrack. It's free as well. All in all, it can represent a stiff challenge for those willing to take it. Godspeed.
Very engaging game. I don't normally play side shoot-em' ups but this was very fun! --LG
