Rustbucket Rumble Beta – Bring on the Recyclables

<p>Let&&num;8217&semi;s face it folks&comma; recycling is something we do because we know its right help out the Earth we live on&period; But its not very exciting to think of all our recyclables becoming new material&period; Sure&comma; we all know &lpar; it&&num;8217&semi;s radical that our recycled paper can become new notebooks and packaging without tearing down more trees&period; But the thought lacks a certain entertaining element in it for most kids and adults&period; The Rector Studio developers decided to create a game that could change your mind about the entertainment value of scrap metal&period; Does using left over pieces of metal to create an enormous fighting robot interest you&quest; If it does then <em>Rustbucket Rumble<&sol;em> is just the casual action game waiting to be played&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>In the story&comma; humans made the earth a mess and left for a new planet&period; What they left behind was the machines that once served them without reserve&period; The arch-rivals robots of the Robotic Engineering Debot &lpar;the Red team&rpar; and the Blucom Discarded Plastics and Metals &lpar;the Blue Team&rpar; decided they could have their own robot battles&period; Each company is now searching for materials they can use to build a gigantic and powerful robot to blast the other team into oblivion&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;03&sol;rustbucket-rumble-large&period;jpg"><img class&equals;" wp-image-80323 aligncenter" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;03&sol;rustbucket-rumble-large-300x169&period;jpg" alt&equals;"rustbucket-rumble-large" width&equals;"407" height&equals;"229" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>This 2D side-scrolling and team-based combat game is fun to play when you&&num;8217&semi;re in the mood for a bit of silly fighting&period; With six different robot fighters&comma; and each one equipped with their own stats and weapons&comma; there is a robot for every fighting style&period; Working as a team&comma; the three players must attack the opposing company and literally turn those players into scraps&period; Once the enemy becomes a can of recyclables&comma; you bring them back to your base to help build your team&&num;8217&semi;s giant robot&period; There is a catch&comma; each player&&num;8217&semi;s robot has a set time to re-spawn with full health after becoming a recyclable can&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Speed and thinking ahead are key in <em>Rustbucket Rumble<&sol;em>&period; Using a keyboard to control your robot can slow you down&period; Since the game supports controllers&comma; I highly recommend using the controller if you have one synched&period; Making your moves as fast as you can is vital&comma;

Their health and speed are clearly marked and each one&&num;8217&semi;s abilities are fairly easy to handle after working through the tutorials&period; Playing 3 vs 3 is fun because there isn&&num;8217&semi;t too many players hogging up the map and there is enough chaos with the recycling going on the two sides&period; I was impressed by a few players helping each other out after someone became scraped&period; The robot left standing on the team&comma; while the others were re-spawning&comma; would rush over and send the can to a safe place so they could heal away from combat&period; The only thing lacking from this simple-yet amusing game is a chat feature&period; There is really isn&&num;8217&semi;t time during the fights to talk but having a few key or button-set words would be helpful for teams to be able to coordinate better&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;03&sol;05012332&sol;Rustbucket&lowbar;rumble&lowbar;forest&period;jpg"><img class&equals;" wp-image-80324 aligncenter" src&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;cdn&period;bagogames&period;com&sol;wp-content&sol;uploads&sol;2015&sol;03&sol;05012332&sol;Rustbucket&lowbar;rumble&lowbar;forest&period;jpg" alt&equals;"Rustbucket&lowbar;rumble&lowbar;forest" width&equals;"369" height&equals;"197" &sol;><&sol;a><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>This colorful maps are reminiscence of the children&&num;8217&semi;s TV shows like <em>Bob the Builder<&sol;em>&period;
