Editors’ Choice

In Rust Bucket, failure isn’t an option—it’s inevitable. A retro-styled puzzler from a studio that’s mastered them, this turn-based take on conundrums is tremendously fun. As you swipe through levels packed with peril, you’ll think long and hard about every move. But thanks to a generous checkpoint system, it’ll take no time to get back on your feet after the difficulty proves too much.

While Rust Bucket is an amazing game, and is probably the best example of Nitrome’s mastery of the turn system, but like all the others, I too found myself stumped. Not by the difficulty, but by the reset bug that happens every time you enter the level select screen. It really takes out of the whole game’s experience. This has happened to me twice while I was near the end of the castle world, and it’s extremely frustrating. Frankly, I’m surprised they haven’t fixed it already by the number of people who have pointed this out. Please fix it soon, so I can live to see the ending.

I loved it from start to finish (puzzle mode, that is). It had clever turn based puzzles, great mechanics, and an extremely easy to use control system. I encountered zero bugs and the ads weren’t intrusive at all. Probably the coolest thing to add to the game would be a level editor, but I understand if that’s a bit much to ask (I’ve done a bit of programming), so I’ll just say it’s a recommendation, not a must have.Personally I didn’t do much of the endless mode, but from what I saw it looks pretty cool. All around great game, thanks for the work put into it!

I can’t stress enough of how much I want a Rust Bucket 2. This game is hard, but not stupid hard (except level 37, it can go straight to heck) and I like that. I wish this game got more updates, it is legendary already and they could expand greatly on that (take notes, Nitrome). If updates have to be put on a sequel, I wouldn’t even argue. There is so much to go for this game and so much that can be done. I actually have no complaints about this game, it’s a must play.
