Perhaps you've seen my "Recycle Rush" play-by-play (wonderful little game, by the by). Now, here's my "Stage Rush" play-by-play.
Kendall, you're on camera. Put on your shoe.
*clears throat* Now that I got that out of the way...
First thing I saw after clicking "Play": Logan is all by his lonesome.
Did he get distracted by schoolwork/a new book, and the others left him behind?
Anyway, Lonesome Logan needs to get to the stage (hence Stage Rush). There are hordes of fans scattered in his path. You know, we have lines for a reason.
It's your job to steer him away from their light...beam...things. Basically, he's avoiding their eyes so he doesn't get violated.
You also have 3 VIP passes on hand, which are automatically given to anyone who sees Logan.
This will, um, bribe them into not tackling him.
You can grab extra passes along the way, as well as musical notes (which are bonus points).
But if you run out of passes, and someone notices you?
Right then. On with the show.
I busted out laughing as soon as he started...doing whatever this is.
Mighty inconspicuous there, dude.
Luckily, these fans (who mainly consist of twins) do not have working peripherals.
Logan: "If I just stand verrry still, they will never know I am here! 😃"
Side note: You know those movie scenes where a prisoner escapes at night, and they try to dodge the big searchlights? That's what this reminds me of.
And holy cannoli the girls' screams are irritating. I'll stay away from their weird glowing auras, if only to prevent them from screeching.
...Is that what this game is trying to show us? How annoying we can be...?
Once I'd eluded the searchlights fans, this is what it told me:
Ah. So Logan is actually early, and the other boys are late. Now that makes a bit more sense.
By the way, the VIP passes don't refresh for each guy. Therefore, if Logan only has 1 pass, so does Kendall. Although, confusingly, if Logan has 0 passes, Kendall magically has 1.
Oh well.
Anyhoo, here's the rest of Big Time Rush, merrily prancing after their bandmate.
And here's a screenshot of the first time I escaped with 8 passes (the most I ever salvaged):
It's sad how accomplished this made me feel.
The difficulty increases as you go from Logan, to Kendall, to James, and finally to Carlos. Which is amusing to me, because it implies that Carlos has the hardest time maneuvering the fans. I couldn't blame him, though.
I felt agoraphobic just looking at his situation.
The poor boy doesn't even have his Helmet to protect him.
I've got you, Carlitos.
Much better. (Side note: Is he wearing two watches...?)
After what I believe was my 5,397th attempt, I finally hustled all 4 guys to their dang stage. This was my prize:
They made it there on time, yet it still says "Game Over."
Makes sense.
I don't have an account with this site, but I clicked "Login" anyway.
The site Big Time Crashed.
I also checked my closet, hoping to find Big Time Rush. Sadly, I discovered nothing. If I had been able to log in, I'm certain they would've been in there.
You know what? It's fine. I got the boys to their show, and that's all that matters! In fact, I'm pretty sure I can call myself a pro gamer at this point...
Final Thoughts: This one definitely seems harder than "Recycle Rush." Also, Recycle Rush has many more levels. That said, Stage Rush's graphics are cool. I give it a 5/10.
Here's the link, if you want to try it out for yourself. Unfortunately, it's not mobile-device-friendly, so use a computer.
