Gameplay

Red Rush is a puzzle game set on Mars.

You must find all the gold on each stage to progress. You can find gold on the ground, or you must drill into rocks using your buggy to collect the gold.

Beware that you have a limited amount of battery charge in your buggy, moving and drilling will deplete the charge. You can pay to recharge your buggy at the solar charge pad (an "X" on the ground).

To pay for charge you need to have money. To get money you must sell some gold that you gathered. You can sell gold at the gold deposit/drive-thru.

Controls

You can use WASD or Arrows to move and Spacebar to drill.

Most screens use either Escape to cancel/pause, and Enter to confirm/unpause.

Cool! It is simple but effective. Maybe something difficult, it cost me to pass any of the screens. A great job!

The art style was very pleasing on this one, quite puzzle-like which was good. Good job!

Nice puzzle game. Loved the art and music, it would have been nice if there were instructions in game.

Great style and polish! I wish the puzzles were more intuitive, some required lots of trial and error, but very good overall.

The game is perhaps a bit difficult right off the bat, but this is solid work and a fine game! Great job!

A nice little game! I wasn't sure in the beginning what the goal was, but I eventually figured it out! :D Very nice sound effects as well as great, suiting and consistent graphics,

Good work. I really enjoyed the graphics and the puzzles, but as congusbongus just said, they involved much trial and error. Maybe a way to solve this would be an indicator, how far you can travel or planning your route in advance. Overall very good game.

Wow great music, art, and concept. Kinda difficult to start but it's tough to pace a jam game.
