Rush Rover 9+

Let me say this game is wonderfully entertaining, easy and fun to pickup and put down, and pickup again! With this being said, it seems the blue chests do not respond to opening attempts as if they do not exist at all. This does not render the game unplayable by any means, but is a small blemish on an excellent retro shooter; I’m hopeful this will be resolved by the developer.

This is an amazingly addictive roguelite/bullet-hell mashup. I'm very surprised that there's so few review here in the AppStore.
The only thing I could suggest to make the game better would be an option to turn the auto-lock off and let it be a twin-stick shooter like it is on Steam. Other than that, this game is absolutely perfect.
The amount of weapons and equips included is mind-blowing. I've dumped about 15 hours into this already and I'm still coming across items that I've never seen before. And the way that a lot of them work together is fantastic.
Fully recommended to fans of dual-stick shooters, roguelikes and bullet-hells. It's clear that the developer is crazy talented and has devoted an insane amount of time into this. $4 is a steal.

To those who don't know how to save your game and come back to it:;:
Go into your upgrade menu and hit 'main menu' - it will ask you if you want to save and continue later.
Doing this a few times every game is also a way to preemptively stave off any crashing issues you might have.

Rush Rover is an awesome little rogue lite made by one guy. There are tons of items, tons of combos, pretty much everything you could want from a rogue lite shooter.

My only complaint is that it doesnt seem to auto save and there isn’t a second stick for directional firing, instead there are three buttons, one that fires on the nearest enemy, another that will fire on the nearest object, and finally a button that will target the boss over weaker enemies. This works fine, but I prefer the option to have true twin sticks available. I don’t mind be fire buttons but I prefer being able to aim manually. Otherwise, 5 stars. For a $1.99 it’s a steal.
