Does anyone else besides myself see the similarities between the two games here? Was this title in any way inspired by Chu Chu Rocket or is this just a coincidence? Just pretend the "mice" are "cubes" and you'll see what I mean:

The only main differences I see include the addition of the third dimension whereas Chu Chu Rocket played on a 2D board and there are no "cats" or other equivalent cube eating nemesis about.


Either way, I'm buying this one. I really enjoyed Chu Chu Rocket on the Dreamcast but sadly, there was never a PC version released.

It started out as a concept for controlling streams of cubes, a bit like a traffic manager. It evolved and became a bit more similar to Chu Chu Rocket over time.

It's however much different when you play it. Of course the third dimension makes a huge difference, but we've also got conveyor belts, split signs, warp points and more.

I understand. Thanks for the insight and I look forward to trying it once it's up for sale. Like I said, I really enjoyed Chu Chu Rocket so it's great to have something that resembles it (even somewhat) on the PC platform.

You can get Chu Chu Rocket on the iPhone or iPod Touch ;)

Yes, I'm aware of that but I don't own either device. I was hoping for a PC version but I guess this game comes close enough.

A chu chu clone on Steam would be awesome. In best case as local and internet versus/co-op (up to 4 with xbox controllers enabled).

So is this game only about puzzles or does it have the duel mode of Chu chu rocket?

Chu Chu rocket is more of a frantic multiplayer arcade game.

Rush is a relaxing (and sometimes complex) puzzle game.

But you don't have CATS! They are very important and you miss them... WHY? ;)

We're more of a poultry type of company, sorry.

Giant chickens chasing cubes of corn. Sounds good.
