Feel empowered with unlimited screen-clearing explosives, then take on increasingly complex waves of enemy drones and RUSH to victory!

Fun to play and cute as a button.
Really rocks. Super fun! Cant put it down.
Blast Rush is a fun take on the scrolling shooter genre, has excellent retro visuals and a killer soundtrack. Highly recommended.
Good, fun shmup. Mechanics are made to work with the controls here, which you dont typically get with this sort of game on mobile. Its challenging and makes you strategize how/when to blast. We play it on our breaks at work lately, every day.
What a joy! We never thought Id get such a RUSH (get it) from bombin dumb-dumbs! Play this game.
We learned about this game from the creators podcast No More Whoppers (which is worth a listen btw). Because its his first game we were expecting something amateurish and barely working, but by gum he really made something fun. The basic concept seems to be to avoid enemy ships until you can launch a special move that will wipe them out. If we had to compare the game mechanic to something it would be a little like the gym battles in Pokmon Go where you jab jab jab as your special meter fills up. Its a good game for the commute – just start a game and rub your thumb all over the screen and see what happens. We recommend everyone get the IAP which unlocks a more powerful ship. It kind of feels like cheating to use the much more powerful weapon that we paid for. But at the same time it takes us back to our middle and high school days of pc gaming when we were so crappy at Doom we had to keep the cheat codes on at all times. Anyway this is great but we hope next time hell make a sick jrpg or point and click adventure game base on the NoMoWo expanded universe. Please make this happen.
We like to go fast fast. So we go fast. Thanks to mr Ray for making the game go fast fast. And thanks to mr Alex for turning the English words into Japanese even though we cant read it. It makes it go fast. Thanks guys! Also NMW is great.
Ive been following Rays work since his days at 1UP. Im so happy hes used his gaming expertise to make this great game! Download it now.
This game has great style and a cool system. The value is great as well. We recommend the DLC.
Fun shmup with some legit innovative ideas for touchscreen play. Cant wait for more from Bipedal.
We really enjoy this shooter. It reminds us so much of the types of games we played as a kid. Its challenging, at least for us, but we find it all the more rewarding when we get to that next wave. Its absolutely worth buying to support the developers. We cant wait to see what they come up with next.
Amazing time killer and hot dang is that some catchy music. Surprisingly pleasing to look at and reminds us of our SNES Biometal days.
Its clear that this game was designed by someone who understands and appreciates what makes carnivalstyle shmups addictive and fun to play. The style and design are top notch, the scoring system is accessible and fun to experiment with (hot tip: try using the gust side-shot while in hyper mode to boost your gust score), and the music is perfect. We cant recommend this game enough.
Super fun twitch shooter with some great music. YAY, RAY.
Controls well, has a lot of fun mechanics- sliding quickly to shoot sideways is our favorite), and is great to play in short bursts. Great game.
