User Reviews

Rust Bucket is praised for its art, puzzle design, and addictive turn-based gameplay, with solid replay value and interest in future updates or a sequel. However, pervasive issues threaten the experience: progress-saving and level-select bugs erasing advancement, intrusive and sometimes explicit ads with ineffective removal, sharp difficulty spikes and level-specific bugs, and general stability problems. If these are addressed, the game has strong staying power for puzzle/strategy fans.

Pros

Stunning art style with clever, handcrafted puzzle level design and engaging turn-based mechanics.
Addictive and engaging puzzle gameplay with intuitive swipe-based controls.
Solid replay value across puzzle and endless modes with many levels.
Strong long-term appeal and potential for future updates or a sequel.

Cons

Major progress-saving/level-select bugs that wipe progress and prevent continuing.
Excessive ads (including sexually themed ads) and a non-working ad-removal option.
Difficulty spikes and level-specific bugs that make certain stages feel impossible or buggy.
Stability issues and crashes, plus launch problems and reset bugs across various modes.

Such a fun puzzle game but it glitches and crashes way too often especially when you get into higher levels

I would love to see more content added to endless like weapons, enemies, etc. but since that’s extremely unlikely I’ll have to look for another game. It’s a shame though, because even with the relatively little content this game has, years later I still really enjoy playing it.
