Rust bucket is an AWSOME game. It teaches you mechanics purely through play in fact when we were going through the tutorial we didn’t even realize it was the tutorial until we saw the achievement. The enemies all look unique and it’s easy to remember how they move how they attack and how to how to best attack them while also not getting: crushed from above, crushed onto a wall, trapped between sentient statues, combust, slimed, teleported onto, bashed in the head with a living skull, getting killed by vengeful pigs, chomped by a murderous chest, chomped by slime gators, fungus slimed, and probably other ways of dying we haven’t found yet. And of course the amazing pixel art which reminds us of the countless hours we spent playing nitromes flash games on the family computer a few years back. Basically what we’re saying is download this game now.
We haven’t found a puzzle game this good since Pixel Defenders. It’s turn based so you have plenty of time to think, and it’s not difficult to learn quickly either. Great pixel graphics. Five stars from us.
Brilliant mix between action and puzzle. Clever! Can’t stop playing.
Great puzzles and game mechanics. Will keep you busy for hours.
We really like this game. Very strategic and addicting. Perfect game in our opinion.
Our favorite Nitrome game by far! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add more levels.
One of the most engaging chess-like puzzlers out there. Good fun. Really well-designed levels. We just wish there were more because infinite mode is kinda boring. Still, 5 stars.
We love Rust Bucket, it’s an awesome game that requires you to learn first, and learn again, and again, through actual tutorials and then through trial and error.
Minus the Ads we loved the game, we were sad when we finally finished it but a bit of relief also lol.
We love this game quite a bit but now it crashes when ever we try to load it, which makes it unplayable, if this is fixed we’ll give it the 5 stars it deserves.
This game good but we want to be able to customize our character.
We personally enjoyed playing this game, but it was ruined every time there were 10 second ads everytime you died.
Would like to see an update though. Also, we have no idea what coins are gathered for. Haven’t seen anywhere to use them.
Rust Bucket to us was a very new concept. The game is part puzzle, part rogue like, and it seemed to us that the game reminded us an awful lot of playing chess. Now we got this game when it first started with only one level set and a pretty basic endless dungeon mode, and we’re very glad to see good work being done on the level sets, because we don’t really like the endless dungeon. Just recently we completed the fourth level set. The set was very difficult especially the third from last level, but we were able to complete it eventually by looking up a small walk through at one point. The endless mode we feel doesn’t reward the player very often for playing it. In a game like binding of Isaac there is usually some sort of payoff in every room, or some sort of encounter that you get locked into. In rust buckets current endless, we only ever find coins from smashing pots and the ones lying around, and that’s really the only reward to playing. I’d like to see a reward for defeating all enemies in a room, more unique rooms even at lower levels, something interesting in our starting room occasionally, maybe some sort of boss rooms or challenge rooms that lock you in and you could get a special weapon for completing them? We really like this game and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice puzzle game.
Rust bucket is such a challenge and we love it! Problem is, the restore purchases button does not work.
When we first started play it was fine until we beat the whole game. We didn’t think there was going to be 10 lvls. We’re just asking if u can put more lvls.
Weak for a Nitrome game. After the first few levels, it gets very confusing, so trial and error means dying every few seconds, and there’s an ad after every. Death. That gets old fast.
Don’t get. No instructions. Died same place every time. Timing? Why? Totally senseless. Bad UX. Glad it’s free. Bye. Cool graphics tho.
Used to love this game, super fun. Now it constantly crashes. Can’t even play it. Please fix.
Beware. We found our son watching some kind of "ad" having to do with virtual reality porn. Complete with 17+ language. This mom is coming for you Rust Bucket.
Can’t play the game It closes as soon as you try to open the app Would have been a great game like redungeon but turns out you can’t play it Waste of time downloading and memory space.
Nice little game, with forced ads between levels. No thanks.
We used to play this all the time, but now when we try to get into the app it goes to the purple loading screen and then it kick us out. We would love to play it again, we really liked the bow and bombs.
Get ready to have ads constant popping up.
As soon as we open the game it gets stuck on the loading screen and then kicks us out, playing on an iPad Air and other games run just fine, don’t download unless you want to gamble on it working.
Doesn’t work it gets on a purple screen then gets off the app fix the iOS 7 glitch.
Great game, but current version crashes every time you open it. Please fix!
Lol it doesn’t even open. Can’t play it, crashes. Way to go.
The games shuts down and closes as soon as we launch it. Can’t play at all. Also trying to rate and review this game took us several tries cuz it keep kicking us out of rating it.
We really like this game. It’s an excellent puzzle game. It’s very challenging and fun to play. The turn based strategy makes it even more fun. We would definitely recommend this game.
It’s very difficult, but we have been eating for a game like this for a while.
Awesome little game! Get ready to be challenged to think ahead! Lots of ads after you die a few times, but nothing to quit over! We highly recommend it!
We had a good time playing this game! No problems launching it on an iPhone 6.
To people complaining about ads: go to airplane mode and become ad free.
Good game, great concept. Love it.
We love how this game makes you think ahead and plan for success. Unfortunently ever since the new update we can no longer open up the game while all the other games we have open perfectly and play seamlessly we have a iphone 4 and we would love if you fix this new and upsetting glitch thank you.
We loved this game. Unfortunately, recent updates have added incessant advertisements that overwhelm an otherwise excellent game. Every three deaths or so, a blaring ad offers us the same obnoxious app over and over. When stuck on a tricky puzzle, this came mean an ad every minute or so. This jarring interruption makes carefully planning a strategy very difficult. Typically, Nitrome games have higher standards in filling their games with advertisements. We’re disappointed that this is the path they’ve taken.
Not worth keeping on our phone with advertisements after each level.
Theres still the icon to remove the ads but doesnt do anything. You now have to play with annoying popup ads. Instant delete.
Game crashes on every start up, 5/5.
It would be a 5-star game, however watching an ad every minute is just to annoying. We’ve tried to purchase ads free addon, but the purchase button does not work.
We don’t usually enjoy getting into games on our phone too much but this game is just an all around fun game to play whenever.
This game is really amazing, all the levels are designed well to test the skill and knowledge of the player. Not to mention that level five is not glitched, we beat it a few weeks ago, and just went back and beat it again before writing this review. Don’t get discouraged, you can do it if you keep trying!
All levels are unique. Love this game.
