Our take on CRUSH
Rather than centering exploration or a story campaign, CRUSH uses a game-show premise and sends contestants through successive combat arenas. Its twin-stick, bullet-hell structure puts survival and pickups at the center.
What is CRUSH?
CRUSH is an arena-focused twin-stick shooter with retro-style pixel visuals.
Players compete as contestants in a game-show setting, moving through multiple arenas and fighting waves of enemies. Combat centers on collecting weapons and power-ups, with bullet-hell action and survival as the main challenge. The game supports single-player play and local co-op for two players. It is available through early access and is still in development.
