Nostalgic as crud
Rust bucket is an AWSOME game. It teaches you mechanics purely through play in fact when I was going through the tutorial I didn't even realize it was the tutorial until I saw the achievement. The enemies all look unique and it's easy to remember how they move how they attack and how to how to best attack them while also not getting: crushed from above, crushed onto a wall, trapped between sentient statues, combust, slimed, teleported onto, bashed in the head with a living skull, getting killed by vengeful pigs, chomped by a murderous chest, chomped by slime gators, fungus slimed, and probably other ways of dying I haven't found yet. And of course the amazing pixel art which reminds me of the countless hours I spent playing nitromes flash games on the family computer a few years back. Basically what I'm saying is download this game now
A great concept
Rust Bucket to me was a very new concept. The game is part puzzle, part rogue like, and it seemed to me that the game reminded me an awful lot of playing chess.
Now I got this game when it first started with only one level set and a pretty basic endless dungeon mode, and I'm very glad to see good work being done on the level sets, because I don't really like the endless dungeon.
Just recently I completed the fourth level set. The set was very difficult especially the third from last level, but I was able to complete it eventually by looking up a small walk through at one point.
The endless mode I feel doesn't reward the player very often for playing it. In a game like binding of Isaac there is usually some sort of payoff in every room, or some sort of encounter that you get locked into. In rust buckets current endless, we only ever find coins from smashing pots and the ones lying around, and that's really the only reward to playing.
I'd like to see a reward for defeating all enemies in a room, more unique rooms even at lower levels, something interesting in my starting room occasionally, maybe some sort of boss rooms or challenge rooms that lock you in and you could get a special weapon for completing them?
I really like this game and recommend it to anyone looking for a nice puzzle game.
Great puzzle game
I haven't found a puzzle game this good since Pixel Defenders. It's turn based so you have plenty of time to think, and it's not difficult to learn quickly either. Great pixel graphics. Five stars from me.
