Blast Rush LS is an enhanced console version of the original mobile title Blast Rush, a fast-paced 2D shoot-em-up that turns the typical bullet hell approach on its head. Rather than offering a limited number of emergency-use bombs, Blast Rush LS gives players unlimited access, encouraging them to rely on bombs as their main form of attack to tear through constant waves of enemies in rapid, high-impact bursts.
Players can choose from three different ships, each equipped with its own set of three bomb types, for a total of nine unique explosive styles. Complementing these are mechanics like a sideswipe gust attack and the time-slowing Hyperdodge, giving players a versatile arsenal for surviving the onslaught and climbing the leaderboards. Enemy formations emphasize sheer density and dramatic movement, flooding the screen with twisting patterns that demand both aggressive play and sharp decision-making.
Blast Rush LS features a “Standard” mode with over 40 handcrafted levels, an “Endurance” mode where players tackle randomized levels, and “2-Minute” variants of each for additional high-score hunting.
To match its classic arcade inspiration, Blast Rush LS sports a clean 16-bit-style pixel art aesthetic and a pulse-pounding chiptune soundtrack. The original version of Blast Rush is also included as a fully playable mode, preserved as part of the package for historical completeness. For those extra curious about the game’s origins, players can explore a bonus-packed Library that includes development notes, concept pixel art, a full music player, and more behind-the-scenes content.
Blast Rush LS is designed to deliver fast, replayable fun—whether you're dropping in for a few minutes or aiming for the top of the scoreboard. It’s a sharp, explosive love letter to arcade shooters with a modern design twist.
Blast Rush LS is NOW on the Nintendo eShop.
