Music Reactive Side-Scrolling Platformer Rush Bros. Drops Onto Steam.

Digital Tribe Games, an emerging indie publisher have announced that Rush Bros., a side scrolling action game featuring music-reactive level design, is now available for Mac and PC on the digital download service Steam.

Rush Bros. will be available for a limited time at $8.99 as well as in a special 2-Pack Bundle at $14.99. The suggested retail price for Rush Bros. is $9.99 (£6.99, €9.99, 249p)

Rush Bros. is a platform racing game like no other, featuring both local and online competitive play between two players, with fast and furious reactive level design where the music you play directly affects the movement of traps, obstacles and backgrounds while playing. Rush through unique levels jam-packed with puzzles and obstacles while trying to thwart and crush your competitor in a breakneck race to the finish. Online Multiplayer supports cross-platform play between PC and Mac gamers.

In Arcade mode you can learn the levels and race against ghost versions of yourself to perfect your best times. Remix allows you to alter your gameplay by turning on Fast Forward to speed everything up or Survival Mode where the stakes are even higher, as there are no checkpoints and once you lose your life, you have to restart from the beginning.

Featuring select tracks from international music sensation Infected Mushroom, players experience 41 levels of hardcore side-scrolling platform racing action, including a special themed level where you play as Infected Mushroom founders Erez Eisen and Amit Duvdevani. Alternatively, turn DJ and rock out to your own MP3 or OGG digital music library.

Rush Bros. gameplay seems very reminicent of N+ and Super Meat Boy, so expect a lot of smashed keyboards and monitors out the window should you decide to pick this title up. We’ve had to order in replacement keyboards for the poor soul reviewing this game, you’ve been warned.
