### 5/5 — Rush Rover

*2019-07-04, version 1.1.4*

This is an amazingly addictive roguelite/bullet-hell mashup. I'm very surprised that there's so few review here in the AppStore. 
The only thing I 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. I've dumped about 15 hours into this already and I'm still coming across items that I'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.

### 5/5 — Slick shooter

*2018-11-10*

Phone-friendly controls, great sound, graphics and gameplay.

### 5/5 — topissime

*2018-10-09, version 1.1.4*

ça faisait longtemps qu'on n'avait pas vu un si bon jeu!

### 5/5 — Hidden Gem

*2018-09-07, version 1.1.2*

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. 

My only complaint is that it doesnt seem to auto save and there isn’t 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 I prefer the option to have true twin sticks available. I don’t mind be fire buttons but I prefer being able to aim manually. Otherwise, 5 stars. For a $1.99 it’s a steal.

### 5/5 — Hidden gem

*2018-09-03, version 1.1.2*

Bullet hell. Rogue like. Upgrades. Boss fights. Multiple paths. Exploration. Pixel graphics that look great. Nice 8-bit music. Great on screen controls. What’s not to love?

### 5/5 — Rush Rover is on iOS!

*2018-06-24, version 1.1.2*

Rush Rover comes to iOS so quietly, it seems like no knows it’s here. Rogue-like fans, action fans, and masochistic bullet-hell fans, would all have good reason to delve into this game! If you haven’t tried Rush Rover before...now is your time!

### 5/5 — Truly A Hidden Gem👍

*2018-06-24, version 1.1.2*

Great game. keep up the good work. Thank you.

### 1/5 — Exquisite

*2025-10-02, version 1.1.8*

One of the best dual sticks (even with the auto-aim) I’ve ever played. An absolute gem. 

Would love to see proper iPad Pro support and a way to contact the developer. Can’t find any contact info anywhere.

Dropped the review to one star due to the disgusting advertisements added to the gameplay. Shameful doing this to paid customers.

### 1/5 — I paid for the game and now forced ads?

*2022-01-03, version 1.1.8*

I paid for the game before it became free, and now the game has forced ads? Such an atrocious action.

### 1/5 — Too many ads.

*2021-12-23, version 1.1.6*

Only in the second area but each time you get a loot box, there is a 30 second ad. Deleted.

### 2/5 — Was Great...

*2021-12-29, version 1.1.8*

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.

### 2/5 — Needs a lot of improvements

*2021-12-23, version 1.1.6*

Pros 
- Great gameplay 
- Intuitive to people who have played enter the gungeon 

Cons
- Everything is tiny hard to read the map, the text as well
- 3 shooting buttons, only one is required the big center one 
- non optional ads, I really don’t want to watch an ad once i die in the gameplay. I just want to start a new run. So either make it a paid app and no ads or add optional ads please try soul knight they handle ads beautifully also in app purchases.
- gun mods are great but no description so buying a mod is almost always a random upgrade.

### 3/5 — Fun but

*2023-07-19*

Fun game but every time you watch a video for the reward box, and if they still enemies in the room, you die and I have to restart the game please fix

### 3/5 — Bon jeu

*2021-12-28, version 1.1.6*

Très bon jeu mais j’ai souvent des crash en plein meilleur de la parti avec un message d’erreur. Impossible de retrouver ma parti car le jeu a crash pouvez vous fixer ce bug ?

### 3/5 — Needs Save/Pausing

*2018-09-06, version 1.1.2*

This game is fantastic, with one major flaw—you cant pause a run and come back later in the day. I almost never have time to do a full run in one sitting, and so have never been able to finish it. 

Otherwise, it’s great!

### 4/5 — Blue lockboxes broken after iOS 17 update?

*2023-11-01, version 1.1.8*

Let me 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; I’m hopeful this will be resolved by the developer.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2025-04-07, version 1.1.8*

Great game the only thing I see wrong with it is it’s too short

## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — I’d love to see updates

*2025-01-03, version 1.1.8*

This is an awesome and addictive game. Good level up system, lots to choose from. I’d love to see more done with this. The music is great, visuals are cool!

### 5/5 — One of the coolest one-man band games I have ever played

*2024-09-24, version 1.1.8*

Literally one man put this piece of art together, kind of like Axiom Verge (although Happ made his own engine), this game didn’t skip over any details. Longer review later. But I’ve put 50 hours+ into the desktop release.

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2023-10-07*

Please add boom bang or basooka sometimes just like dash ty.

### 5/5 — Needs more attention!

*2022-08-21*

This game is the perfect replacement for those who played evil factory, best game I played.

The music is amazing!

Enemies level up as YOU level up

And the amount of weapons makes you feel like god

### 5/5 — 开发者你好

*2022-04-26, version 1.1.8*

游戏很棒，希望能出中文

### 5/5 — Bon jeux mais aucune possibilité d’enregistrement

*2022-01-15, version 1.1.8*

Très bon jeu, bosses très dure ce qui le rend intéressant, mais dommage que l’on ne puisse pas enregistrer une partie en cours et que dès que l’on ferme le jeu elle se réinitialise, ce qui m’a valu de perdre plusieurs records 😕
Mais sinon excellent jeu pour un peu d’attente ou se détendre 😁

### 5/5 — Infomercial

*2021-12-28, version 1.1.8*

Free as "watch a full video commercial every 5 minutes". I'm sure the developer will reflect on his actions when he get older.

### 5/5 — Fantastic game!

*2021-02-18*

The game pixel art is stunning, the touch controls are really smooth and has good value as you can replay over and over with differents gameplay styles.
Highly recommended!!!

### 5/5 — Exquisite

*2019-12-10*

One of the best dual sticks (even with the auto-aim) I’ve ever played. An absolute gem. 

Would love to see proper iPad Pro support and a way to contact the developer. Can’t find any contact info anywhere.
