RUSH

This game reminds you of the game EDGE, but instead of making the cube move diagonally in an annoying way, your job is to use arrow tiles to make the spawned cube move the way it was meant to be.. kinda cool in premise, but it became tiresome along the way.

By all accounts, this game should be good - it has interesting mechanics, nice visuals, runs smoothly on modern systems, and has no major bugs - but ultimately, it fails in the most important area: the gameplay is simply not entertaining. The core idea is simple: guide cubes of different colors from their spawn points to their respective finish points using directional signs. And while you can control their path using signs, you cannot control their speed—and that speed varies wildly from level to level. Levels often involve cubes crossing paths, which leads to unpredictable collisions… unless you solve the puzzle exactly as the level designer intended, in which case the cubes conveniently avoid each other thanks to carefully tuned speeds. This turns puzzle-solving into a lottery, which seriously hurts the engagement loop. If you succeed, it doesn’t feel rewarding - more like you just got lucky. If you fail, it feels unfair - your path may be logically sound, but the cubes ...

Rush was already hard enough on Medium, finishing medium felt like tutorial what is coming next, (Hard) brain refuses to think, and actual challananges idk what to tell, brain just leaves body? Highly recommend this game to anyone who can think, it’s punishing, fair, and totally worth it.
