Our take on Satellite Rush
Audience approval shapes the arena run: putting on a show can lead spectators to throw weapons into the fighting space.
What is Satellite Rush?
Satellite Rush is a pixel-art, top-down science-fiction shooter set inside Satellite Moebius, an intergalactic arena and reality-TV stage.
Players control an abducted office worker while fighting aliens and robots programmed to clean or kill. Audience approval is part of survival: shooting and putting on a show can prompt spectators to throw weapons into the arena. Corridors are generated randomly, so routes change between runs. Permadeath ends each attempt, while some unlockables persist. The game also includes boss fights and upgrades, as players try to survive the arena and find a way home.
