Aqua Rush
Aqua Rush is a puzzle game with an underwater theme. It’s similar to Tetris
but instead of blocks falling from the top they here appear from the bottom
and move upwards. The blocks are meant to be bubbles and the player has to
combine them with static bubbles that are pre placed on the playing field.
Similar to Tetris, bubbles that cover the whole width of the playing field
burst and disappear. The aim is to make it through the ocean and reach the
surface. There are three different levels that are divided into stages. To
complete a stage the player has to clear the red bubbles at the top. The
levels differ in difficulty and have different pace, puzzle design and
distance to the surface.
Blocks work differently from Tetris. Here they are always three bubbles in
size horizontally and they can not be rotated. Instead the player uses three
buttons to increase the size and change the shape of the block. By pressing
one of the buttons the bubble it represents grows vertically. The idea is then
to get a shape that fits perfectly in the spaces and thereby being able to
clear large parts of the board.
In addition to the single player mode there is also a two player split screen
mode.
