Tumble Rush Is a Marble-Based Arcade Game with Tilt Controls and Retro Vibes
29.02.2024 - 09:47 / droidgamers.com / Game With
If Sonic The Hedgehog had come out in the era of tilt controls, there’s every chance that it might have looked a bit like Tumble Rush.
To put it another way, Tumble Rush looks—and sounds—quite a bit like Sonic The Hedgehog.
Sure, it’s 2.5D rather than 2D, and there are no loop-de-loops or checkerboard soilscapes—and there definitely isn’t a hedgehog.
But Tumble Rush does such a convincing job of recreating the frenetic sights and sounds of ‘90s console gaming that it would fit right in among the Sonics, Turricans, Shinobos, and countless other arcade hits of yesteryear.
Except it’s got tilt controls (though you can swap to touch controls if you prefer).
Let’s start with the story. It seems that the denizens of Ball Galaxy have been abducted by interstellar claw cranes and imprisoned in a vending machine. Only you can rescue them, even though you’re just another ball.
That’s it. That’s the story.
Described by the blurb as an “action marble maze”, Tumble Rush is a retro arcade game that sees you tilting your phone (or stabbing buttons) to steer an adorable sphere around holes and traps while collecting as many coins as possible in the process.
There are puzzles, too, and multiple modes. If you feel like a break from solving and rolling your way through the game’s hundreds of stages you can try a time trial, or see how you fare in the endless mode.
Plus, you can collect dozens of cute character skins for your spherical protagonist by spending the coins that you pick up during runs. It’s like gacha, but earned.
Tumble Rush is the first release by Canadian studio Juvenile Pursuits Inc., and features music from Sean “CosmicGem” Bialo—the composer behind Penny’s Big Breakaway, Chiki’s Chase, and Donut Dodo, among others.
If you haven’t already checked out the trailer, seen the graphics, and heard the music, do it now.
Download Tumble Rush for free on the Google Play Store or the App Store.

Check out the trailer for this cyberpunk-noir detective game with a hard-boiled private dick
One of my favourite 'jokes'to do is parody Raymond Chandler, i.e. I shout "She had legs all the way up to her thighs!" and then laugh at myself. Chandlers's trademark "blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window" kind of zingers are very hard to do well, so it's better to say you're doing Philip Marlow badly on purpose. The trailer for Nobody Wants To Die seems like it's self-seriousness is actually self-awareness. I mean, I kind of refuse to believe that hard-boiled future crime detective James Karra saying "I'm in the business of secrets... But it's more of an addiction... And I like 'em straight... No chaser..." while sipping from a glass of amber liquor isn't indulging in some amount of winking and nudging.
