## What is Gate Rush?

Command the formation. Outsmart the gates. Storm the citadel.

Gate Rush is an army-tactics arcade game with a promise almost nothing on the App Store makes: no ads. Not between runs. Not for revives. Never.

FORMATION TACTICS
Switch your army's shape at any moment and change the rules of the run:
• WEDGE: a spearhead that hits 20% harder in the siege but bleeds more on hazards
• PHALANX: a shield wall that shrugs off obstacles at the cost of charge power
• FLANK: split into two columns and take BOTH gates of a row at half strength
Reading the road ahead and switching at the right moment is the whole game.

HOW IT PLAYS
• Steer your army through multiply, add, subtract, and divide gates
• Jump barricades with a tap, dodge obstacles, grab shields, rage, magnets, and clones
• Chain good gates to build combos
• Upgrade weapon tiers from spears to gold-plumed commanders

STORM THE CITADEL
Every level ends in a siege. Your army charges, clashes, and the survivors are decided by real attrition math, formation multiplier included. Win, and pick 1 of 3 perks from a pool of 8 to shape your next run. Endless levels, endless builds.

MADE DIFFERENT
• Original hand-built engine, not a licensed template
• Hand-tuned art direction: warm oranges, deep blues, gold accents, editorial type
• Procedural music and sound, generated live while you play
• Works offline. iPhone and iPad. iOS 16 or later.

FAIR MONETIZATION
The full game is free. Coins earned in runs unlock army skins and arena themes in the Armory, and buy a once-per-run revive.
Gate Rush Pro is a single $3.99 purchase, once, forever: every skin and theme unlocked, the exclusive Gold Commander skin, 2x coins, and a free perk re-roll after every boss. No subscription. No ads either way.

From the maker of Ring Sort.
