The Rush
SteamAbout The Rush
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
