Our take on On Rusty Trails

The central constraint is that Elvis’s appearance governs how the environment responds: a mismatched look can disable platforms and save points or turn jump pads into hazards.

What is On Rusty Trails?

Play as Elvis, a robot navigating a hostile world where appearance determines how the environment behaves.

Change looks with the Shifty Suit: platforms may stop working, save points may fail, and jump pads may become dangerous when Elvis does not adapt. The platforming includes running up walls and ceilings, leaping across chasms, and moving through lava streams, alongside puzzles. Explore 6 worlds spanning rusty suburbs, deteriorating cities, and factories, with comic panels and illustrated backgrounds. The story follows an escalating conflict between two peoples. Fast levels also include high-score leaderboards for competing with friends.
