The Rush

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

Features:

• 7 unique stages
  
• Many enemies and boss fights that (I severely hope) are well designed
  
• 11 different weapons that can be mixed and matched with one another
  
• Some surprise easter eggs and bugs I decided not to fix because they work in your favor
  
• A good(?) OST that was a collaborative effort between yours truly and my friend BuckChickens
  
• Controller support

Controls:

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

As this game is in early access, the latter half of stage 7 has yet to be completed. Steam achievement support will also be added in the future. I'm just one guy working on this in my free time...
