Arcade-style shoot ’em up Blast Rush LS dropping on Nintendo Switch

Bipedal Dog is bringing Bipedal Dog to Nintendo Switch later this month, the studio has announced. A release is planned for June 19, 2025.

Blast Rush originally came to mobile. For the new “LS” version, the arcade style shoot ’em up has been enhanced for consoles.

Learn more about it in the following overview:

Blast Rush LS is an enhanced console edition of the original mobile game Blast Rush, a quick-hit 2D shoot-em-up that flips the bullet hell formula on its head; instead of giving players a limited stash of bombs to use in emergencies, Blast Rush LS lets them unleash an infinite supply. Players are encouraged to go all-in on destruction, using bombs as their primary weapon to blow through relentless waves of enemies in fast, satisfying bursts of action.

Each ship comes equipped with three types of bombs, offering a total of nine distinct explosive options. Combined with additional mechanics like a sideswipe gust attack and time-slowing Hyperdodge, players have a wide range of tools for surviving the chaos and chasing the leaderboard. The game’s enemy formations prioritize spectacle and density, with dozens of drones flooding the screen in twisting patterns that challenge players to be both aggressive and strategic.

Blast Rush LS features a “Standard” mode with over 40 handcrafted levels, an “Endurance” mode where players tackle randomized levels, and “2-Minute” variants of each for additional high-score hunting.

To match its classic arcade inspiration, Blast Rush LS sports a clean 16-bit-style pixel art aesthetic and a pulse-pounding chiptune soundtrack. The original version of Blast Rush is also included as a fully playable mode, preserved as part of the package for historical completeness. For those extra curious about the game’s origins, players can explore a bonus-packed Library that includes development notes, concept pixel art, a full music player, and more behind-the-scenes content.

Blast Rush LS is designed to deliver fast, replayable fun—whether you’re dropping in for a few minutes or aiming for the top of the scoreboard. It’s a sharp, explosive love letter to arcade shooters with a modern design twist.
