Before you ask, yes, I know about RUA, but I came up with the idea for this game before I had heard of RUA. It was at a Game Jam in San Jose 2 years ago that was sponsored by Touch Arcade.

Once someone told me about RUA, I decided that my idea was still different enough to warrant continuing with it.

The game is inspired more by the artwork and world of Avatar than RUA.

I think RUA is a great game too and I enjoyed it, but I've added lots of unique elements and features in Unicorn Rush that I think you'll like!

Give it a try!

Thanks!

I never thought this would see the light of day! It's been sitting in the Game Jam forum since the Earth was born.

Default Game Impressions

The game is pretty, with very intuitive controls, and runs incredibly smoothly on my iPad 1G.

While primarily a fan of Endless play, I do have to give the dev credit for the concept of courses. So beyond simply trying to get your best possible score on any of these given runs with their own thematic ideas, how quickly can you reach the end of a given level?

Good stuff.

4/5

Default Gameplay Video

Here's the first gameplay video. It's not a full-blown trailer, but it'll give you a feel of the game in one of the fixed length courses.

There is also an endless level/course.

The video is a bit jerky because it was recorded over AirPlay while playing the game on my iPhone 4S. It's smoother on actual devices.
