Hello, friends of Membraine Studios!

A few weeks ago, we issued ourselves a challenge: make a kick-ass casual game in two weeks to supplement our revenue and enable further development of Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire (the $7,400 only allowed us to get so far, as you'd expect).

The result is RUSHD, a free-to-play Endless Running genre game for iOS.

We're polishing RUSHD up for release right now, but we would really like your feedback before we set it free in the world. To that end, we’re hoping you’ll play the web browser version and let us know what you think.

The web version of RUSHD is available here: http://membrainestudios.com/beta/rushd/

We're looking for any and all feedback and criticism. Feel free to post your thoughts publicly as a comment on http://www.facebook.com/membraine, or message us directly if you prefer. You can even email us via info[at]membrainestudios[dot]com.

We hope you enjoy the Beta.

Testing Notes
- Left-click and drag to move
- Right-click and hold to enter bullet time
- Achievements and Leaderboards are iOS only—they don't work in this browser version
- Store purchases are FREE for the Beta
- Only a subset of obstacles/tiles are included in the Beta

Its official. I suck at this game!

If you're finding the game too hard, try this:

1. On the Rushd title screen, click the Store button.
2. Click the 4,000 Cones button (the one that shows $0.99—don't worry, this will not be transacted, and the Beta is completely free). You should see your Stash of cones increase by 4,000.
3. Click the Bullet Time 1,000 button. You should see the first upgrade level indicator light up, and the price for the next level upgrade increase to 5,000 cones.
4. Click the Close X button at top-right.

This will increase the amount of Bullet Time you have available from the start of the game. So long as you then remember to use your bullet time, I reckon you'll find the game a lot easier.

I need the leaderboard so I can compete with TacComms!

Just wanted to let you know our new free-to-play casual game, RUSHD, has hit the App Store and is available for download now!

Can you escape the city? Collect cones and dodge traffic while travelling as far as you can! Use bullet-time to pull incredible moves and beat your friends on the leaderboards! Use the cones you collect to purchase upgrades in the store to help you collect all of the achievements!

RUSHD is the endless-running genre in its purest form -- duck and weave through traffic, collect sweet powerups, and try to get on top of the leaderboards. And yes, it's completely free to play -- you don't need to purchase anything to give the leaderboards a solid run, but we're hoping gamers will support us by purchasing an upgrade or two from the RUSHD Store.

The release of RUSHD is part of a broader strategy. More info about our plans for casual gaming, Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire, world domination and subjugation of the masses is coming, so we hope you’ll stay tuned!

To celebrate the launch of our new free-to-play iOS game, RUSHD, our original game for iPhone, Orbital Defence, is now completely free. If you missed it when it was released, we hope you enjoy it now.

Just downloaded Orbital Defence.... Thats actually pretty cool. Simple, but very well executed, and kind of adictive.

Thanks, CS! We were certainly very proud of OD's gameplay when we made it back in the day (only 3 years ago, but if feels like forever ago).

Hope you enjoy RUSHD, too! It's a very simple little game, but it's a lot of fun and a decent challenge—I'm lucky if I can get more than 200m, and that's only if I don't try to collect all the cones along the way (I'm not really an arcade-type gamer).

And if you're inspired enough to help us out, please purchase an upgrade or two from the RUSHD Store! RUSHD is no epic turn-based wargame...but it's an important part of our strategy to give you guys epic turn-based wargames.

Stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks about our plans going forward, including of course our flagship project Exodus Wars: Fractured Empire!

D-loaded both! Thanks

App Store weirdness. Try searching on "Rushd endless running" or even just "endless running" — it turns up in that search.

Or if you can't be bothered, this link will take you straight to the iTunes page for it: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/rushd/id562792483?mt=8

I did find it on 'Rushd endless running' but not just 'endless running'.... but now it has installed it looks like my screen is only showing about 1/4 of the app screen so I cant hit any buttons to make it work.

I dont. I only have an iPhone 3G (and, I hate it). But, it looks like this...

Yeah, you'll get that on the 3G. Sorry, CS, but the venerable 3G are now old enough that we decided not to target it as a platform.

Ageist!

Yeah. I figured as much. Not a problem. I should have upgraded a while ago, but due to a few issues I cant right now... and when I do it wont be an iPhone.
