- General info about controls - 22 October 2021
Hello, fighters! Thank you to everyone who bought the game and left a review or posted feedback on the forums, you guys rock! Now, part of that feedback pertained to the keyboard support which we’d like to address now. We haven’t properly communicated this but due to the limitations of the engine we are working in and the problems caused by the general settings in our game, we are not currently able to implement the ability to change the settings on the keyboard without generating additional problems. What does this mean? You can freely change the mapping on assigned/connected controllers, while the original keyboard settings are not editable. 2-Player Mode In 2-player mode, the situation is as follows: - You need two controllers to operate - You cannot play with two people on the same keyboard. We are very sorry if this caused any confusion. Stay fighting, brave warriors! https://store…

- Devlog #4: Don’t lose the plot - 12 August 2021
HIYA Fighters! First things first - huge thanks to people who wishlisted the game and/or backed the Kickstarter, you guys are awesome. Developing Okinawa Rush has been a long but joyous journey and now we’re finally at the finish line and it feels so rewarding. Plotting the course Ok but enough of getting side-tracked. Before Okinawa Rush was even a fully formed idea, I knew that it needed a solid story. I think that in this type of game you need to have something driving you forward to progress through the levels and it can’t just be the want to finish it. That’s why right off the bat, you have a compelling reason for revenge, a clear villain in the Black Mantis Clan, and an interesting setting to explore. Then as the plot unravels it leaves you wanting more, which keeps you playing, even when the game gets hard, and when you get through that part where you died 100 times already, you…

HIYA Fighters! Steam Next Fest is coming to an end. This is the LAST CALL to take part in our Speedrun Contest (more info HERE) and test the demo :D We got a lot of great feedback, but the more suggestions we get from you, the better Okinawa Rush will be on a release day. ALSO if you’ve missed the developer’s stream, on which Steve and David, creators of Okinawa Rush, were playing the demo with their commentary, then don’t worry. Starting from… now... we broadcast that video here on Steam, so you all could watch it :) Till next time, Fighters! https://store.steampowered.com/app/777670/Okinawa_Rush/
- Devlog #3 Bosses - 18 June 2021
HIYA Fighters! Thank you all for leaving comments and sharing your feedback regarding the demo. We work hard to ensure you’ll like the game so no critique is too small for us to consider. We’re really committed to making Okinawa Rush the best it can be so don’t hesitate to drop a few words of your impressions in the comments section. And now, without further ado... Bosses Welcome to another devlog! Today we’re here to talk about a few of the bosses of Okinawa Rush. We’ve already covered the heroes so it’s only fair that we move on to the baddies. Of course, there’s the Black Mantis Clan, it has many members of different shapes and kinds, plenty of them of extraordinary strength and skill, but they’re not the only adversaries standing in your path. Today we’re going to focus on 3 encounters you’ll face on your journey: Rock Man, Jubokko, and The Kung Fu Masters. Let’s Rock with the Rock…
- NextFest, new demo, SPEEDRUN CONTEST, and more - 16 June 2021
HIYA Fighters! As always thank you all for the feedback! We appreciate each and every comment, so don’t hesitate to leave your impressions and questions under this post or at the forums. This game wouldn’t be possible to make without the support from the community so we take every bit of criticism into consideration (and feel honored to hear your praises). A Festive Demo Steam Next Fest is upon us and so we’ve decided to treat you guys to a new and improved demo of Okinawa Rush! In this iteration, you get to play through Tutorial, Stage 1, and Master Challenge!, where you face off against The Kung-Fu Masters.

To celebrate Next Fest and the release of our new demo update we’re running a Speedrun Contest. You can compete in 2 categories, and yes, there are…
- Devlog #2 - Heroes - 27 May 2021
HIYA Fighters! Welcome to another devlog, this time about the heroes of Okinawa Rush. Before we get to that though, I’d like to once again extend my gratitude to anyone who’s supported the Kickstarter and/or wishlisted the game on Steam, you’re the best! For anyone who has not checked out the demo yet, you can download it HERE. We love hearing from our fans so make sure to leave any feedback on the Steam forums, we appreciate every comment! Heroes As you know, in Okinawa Rush you get to play as one of the 3 characters: Hiro, Meilin, or Shin. Each with a decidedly different playstyle, move-set, and personality. This made me think that a short devlog elucidating some of the differences between the heroes may be a good idea, to give you a better feel for each of them. It’s also good to familiarize yourself with each of them if you don’t choose to pick them, just to know their strengths whe…
- Okinawa Rush demo - UPDATES! - 25 May 2021
HIYA Fighters! As you may have noticed - we’re still updating and improving the Okinawa Rush demo. They’re mostly small upgrades and fixes, but we also managed to sneak in two major improvements! Firstly, we got some negative feedback in regards to the jumping mechanic and we decided to take a closer look at it. Thanks to the latest updates, it’s now more comfortable to control the jumping direction while in the air. And it makes Okinawa Rush even more fun to play :) Secondly, we love classic, difficult arcade action games and platformers. But it’s obvious that not all players are into the current incredibly hard gameplay of the demo. So, from now on, when you start the demo, you can choose from various difficulty levels, called ranks :D Check out the demo and see for yourself. Do not stop leaving us feedback. Your opinion has a real influence on Okinawa Rush and will make the game even…
