TakusanWorks is bringing Shuttle Rush to the Wii U eShop this Thursday, the indie developer has announced.

Here’s an official overview of the game:

Shuttle Rush is a fast-paced labyrinth game where you will have to use strategic pathfinding to reach the exit while avoiding enemies, and using rapid maneuvering through different environments. You will need multiple attempts to reach new areas of each level by memorizing patterns (and, sometimes, by breaking those patterns) to arrive at the gate before time runs out.

View a few screenshots from Shuttle Rush above.
