TL;DR
Stern celebrates Rush pinball with developer showcase stream highlighting deep rules and multiball mechanics before vaulting.
Synopsis
Stern Pinball hosted a celebratory gameplay stream featuring Rush pinball before it enters the 'vault' (discontinued production). The stream showcased multiple expert players demonstrating Rush's complex rule set, including mode selection via color-matching, multiball stacking mechanics, time machine progression to 2112, and album-based combo systems. Developers Raymond Davidson (code), John Borg (designer), and others explained design philosophy emphasizing both casual accessibility and competitive depth, with references to influences like Getaway and intentional mechanical complexity.
