Title: Ecto-Rush, a new game I made!
Post by: uzo on November 03, 2014, 06:08:40 PM

As most all of you know, I own a game company. We put out our latest game just recently, and the Android version just made it up today. It's free, with no gimmicks or trickery. Just ad's to support it.

Ecto-Rush is a SHMUP meets Endless Runner. Boiled down the genre mechanics to their basics and combined it with randomized level construction and boss battles. No buying or grinding for currency. It's all about skill. Starts out easy, gets crazy!

If you try it out let me know what you think!

It actually gets to nightmare fuel level as you progress through the game.

Are there any bullet hell elements involved?

Thanks for making it ios 5.1.1. At least I'll be able to download it on my ancient ipad. hehehe.

We feel it is important to support older devices. I have all shitty out of date devices, so I know that feeling. I know a lot of people, myself included, who just can't afford the latest and greatest by far. It is challenging to program for that kind of mentality, and still attempt to end up with a high quality game even at the smaller scale.

It's fun, though I'm bad at these runner type games. hehehe.
Btw, does it really have to have an online connection?

If you're on Android, the option to remove the online requirement hasn't been added yet. We had issues with that on Android, but not iOS. It will come to Android as an update very soon.
