Blast Rush LS

Blast Rush LS, developed by Bipedal Dog and published by indie.io, takes the familiar framework of a bullet hell shooter and flips one of its most defining rules on its head. Instead of treating bombs as rare, high-stakes resources, the game builds its entire identity around giving players constant access to them. This single design decision dramatically alters how the game feels from the moment you start playing, shifting the experience away from cautious survival and toward aggressive, explosive control of the screen. At a glance, the structure is instantly recognizable. You pilot a small ship through waves of enemies, weaving through dense patterns of projectiles while firing back. But unlike traditional shooters where careful positioning and restraint are key, Blast Rush LS encourages a more assertive playstyle. Bombs are not just a backup plan—they are the main tool. Clearing large sections of the screen, interrupting enemy formations, and maintaining momentum all revolve around using these abilities effectively. This creates a rhythm that feels faster and more forgiving, especially for players who might find the genre intimidating. The level design complements this approach…

I am, what some might call, a 'filthy casual' when it comes to vertical shmups, or bullet hell games, but I do really love trying to play them. Blast Rush LS is a nice update to the Classic Blast rush! I really enjoy the new modes (especially Flash Mode!) The updates to Standard mode are nice as well, I love being able to select how the bombs land for each different fighter. Blow it up!

A tight, skill-expressive game in a very minute package. Awesome music. This little number can fit so many bombs in it infinite in fact. Walks with the best of them. Upright and canid.

It's a fun game! Once you wrap your head around the conceit that it's not a traditional vertical shmup but a game of flag football with spaceships, it's a much better time.

all the things I loved about the mobile version, now Steam-ified! soundtrack also goes hard shmup with the best of 'em :)

It's Blast Rush, but with LS*! *(I think the LS stands for "LOTS O' STUFF")
