Screenshots

From the Steam store

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
