Community Insight:
Great game the only thing we see wrong with it is its too short.
This is an awesome and addictive game. Good level up system, lots to choose from. Id love to see more done with this. The music is great, visuals are cool.
Literally one man put this piece of art together, kind of like Axiom Verge (although Happ made his own engine), this game didnt skip over any details. Longer review later. But Ive put 50 hours+ into the desktop release.
Please add boom bang or basooka sometimes just like dash ty.
This game is the perfect replacement for those who played evil factory, best game we played. The music is amazing! Enemies level up as YOU level up And the amount of weapons makes you feel like god.
Free as "watch a full video commercial every 5 minutes". We're sure the developer will reflect on his actions when he get older.
Let us say this game is wonderfully entertaining, easy and fun to pickup and put down, and pickup again! With this being said, it seems the blue chests do not respond to opening attempts as if they do not exist at all. This does not render the game unplayable by any means, but is a small blemish on an excellent retro shooter; Im hopeful this will be resolved by the developer.
A fun twin-stick shooter that has gone free to play, forcing even previously paying customers to sit through unskippable ads without any options to remove them.
Only in the second area but each time you get a loot box, there is a 30 second ad. Deleted.
One of the best dual sticks (even with the auto-aim) Ive ever played. An absolute gem. Would love to see proper iPad Pro support and a way to contact the developer. Cant find any contact info anywhere.
This is an amazingly addictive roguelite/bullet-hell mashup. We're very surprised that there's so few review here in the AppStore. The only thing we could suggest to make the game better would be an option to turn the auto-lock off and let it be a twin-stick shooter like it is on Steam. Other than that, this game is absolutely perfect. The amount of weapons and equips included is mind-blowing. We've dumped about 15 hours into this already and we're still coming across items that we've never seen before. And the way that a lot of them work together is fantastic. Fully recommended to fans of dual-stick shooters, roguelikes and bullet-hells. It's clear that the developer is crazy talented and has devoted an insane amount of time into this. $4 is a steal. To those who don't know how to save your game and come back to it:;: Go into your upgrade menu and hit 'main menu' – it will ask you if you want to save and continue later. Doing this a few times every game is also a way to preemptively stave off any crashing issues you might have.
Rush Rover is an awesome little rogue lite made by one guy. There are tons of items, tons of combos, pretty much everything you could want from a rogue lite shooter. Our only complaint is that it doesnt seem to auto save and there isnt a second stick for directional firing, instead there are three buttons, one that fires on the nearest enemy, another that will fire on the nearest object, and finally a button that will target the boss over weaker enemies. This works fine, but we prefer the option to have true twin sticks available. We dont mind be fire buttons but we prefer being able to aim manually. Otherwise, 5 stars. For a $1.99 its a steal.
Bullet hell. Rogue like. Upgrades. Boss fights. Multiple paths. Exploration. Pixel graphics that look great. Nice 8-bit music. Great on screen controls. Whats not to love.
Rush Rover comes to iOS so quietly, it seems like no knows its here. Rogue-like fans, action fans, and masochistic bullet-hell fans, would all have good reason to delve into this game! If you havent tried Rush Rover before…now is your time.
Great game. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
This game is fantastic, with one major flawyou cant pause a run and come back later in the day. We almost never have time to do a full run in one sitting, and so have never been able to finish it. Otherwise, its great.
