Latest Steam announcements

  • Windowed - 21 April 2026

    Windowed and a few other small changes. Still testing for crashing.

  • All the changes discussed in yesterday's push... - 17 April 2026

    All the changes discussed in yesterday's push, but actually in the build.

  • Update notes for April 15 - 16 April 2026

    Still working on the crashes...this push is a test on that. We were able to add a crash log file that should help us identify it better. Dimmed colors lights added to each player to identify who and where you are faster. Slowed Lamp tracking may be better. Altered spawn point of lamp to prevent players from hitting themselves Fixed a few lighting/stage set issues with Blackwater falls Fixed a few issues with the IceLevel Tweaked a small issue with the stage select

  • Temporary change from 4th to 3rd person - 1 April 2026

    We've determined that crashing occurs when all four players are activated and playing the game, but was not occurring when 1, 2, or 3 were activated and playing. This only happens in builds on Steam, not on builds without Steam. For now, we've scaled back to 3 players while we figure that out.

  • Crashes? - 24 March 2026

    We're hoping this fixes the crashes. Let us know if you still experience them and when if you do.

  • We kindly advise you to stay out of the mines - 4 March 2026

    We also recommend not dancing in traffic just because the new collision particles are satisfying. This update is us fixing bugs. A lot of them. Not all of them. Not. All. Of. Them. Powerups are now consistently collectible! You really are the last moth standing again. The second to last moth can't rise from the grave and keep causing mayhem anymore. The bubble shield power up is centered on every character when its being used to repel the light. The wand will usually zap your friends. Mountain Stage has some stunning waves. Sound waves, we mean, not actual waves. That would be silly. This is Appalachia! We have hills. The UI works consistently for controllers and keyboard (one player only for testing wasd if you want to give it a go) We can track the light better because it has a trail and our eyes like following light. Amazing, right? Seriously though, you don't want to spend too much…

  • GDIM Demo Day: End of Fall Semester - 9 December 2025

    This update contains the final updates of the Fall 2025 semester from this capstone group. UI and usability improvements have been made, two additional levels, and a new power up. More thought was given to the position of power ups, general level design, functionality, and set dressing. There are still a few lingering issues, primarily with power ups, that we'll keep working on. The two new levels are Blackwater Falls and a Wintry Ski Slippery Ski Slope. We hope you enjoy testing them out!

  • Blackwater Falls Map - 19 November 2025

    New map (Blackwater Falls) ! Touch ups on playability of existing maps. UI updates. Bug zap wand stun is working, as is general lamp cool down stun.

  • November Updates - 6 November 2025

    Bug swatter:That pretty little wand players can grab now shoots electric! It'll be able to stun your other players. It (probably) doesn't yet. Lamp cool down:When playing with others, it use to be easy to continuously spam the throw button to defeat your friends. Finally, we've added a cool down. You'll freeze for a few seconds each time you get the light and be unable to throw it. Ha! We're sure you'll find another way to cheese it.Lamp respawn:It used to respawn at the center when a player died. Now it stays where that player last was and seeks out a new player from there. Fall 2025 Credits:A new group of students at WVU from the capstone group of game design and interactive media onboarded this August into the project. The credits are now updated for them. Mountain Stage:We saw during our playtests that this level needed to be revisited. The light kept escaping! It should be light pr…

  • Summer 2025 Session Update - 12 August 2025

    A few small improvements made to Light Rush during our summer session at the studio:Settings are now in the right style, whether from the pause menu or main menu.Settings now contain a sound slider that adjusts and saves the level of most of the sound. We're going to say most. A few sound tags may have escaped. If you catch them, let us know which ones?Controllers usually work in the UI. If not, using the mouse for a moment will reactivate them. If you spot a specific place that they break, we need to know that too. Music is now present for all map stages! ːsteamhappyːKeep an eye out for updates on our other Steam projects: Chumps Chained, Derby, and GDIM Arcade!Follow us on the web for info on our latest events: https://www.monrivergames.com/

  • Introducing Light Rush on Early Access - 26 May 2025

    Hey World, MonRiverGames here. We're a small non-profit organization run by faculty, students, and community members of the Game Design and Interactive Media program at West Virginia University. Most of us are not professionals. We have non game dev day jobs and/or are hoping to one day have this as our day job. Our professors and senior level community members teach us, but we also teach each other. In many ways, we're a learning cooperative. This information is important context to playing any of our games. Please keep it in mind. Today, we're releasing our first game on Early Access and on Steam in general. To be honest, we weren't sure which of the many projects we've been cooking would get this honor. It could have been Derby, Chumps Chained, or the GDIM Arcade. This is not a finished game. It is an Early Access game that we need your help to finish. You can help by playing and rep…

Short description

This game is in Early Access. In this four player versus (local) multiplayer game, you are a child of Mothman frolicking with friends in Appalachia. Unfortunately, a dangerous lamp relic carelessly left behind by humans attracts to your kind. Throw it and run or you will explode!

About this game

This a multiplayer couch versus game that embraces Appalachian Vibes and Cryptid Wonders in aesthetics and gameplay. It's bright, colorful, and inspires action. Your goal, as a mothman-esque creature (and perhaps other cryptids in the future) is to survive by not exploding. You do that by throwing a light at each other. Because, moths are attracted to light, but we've decided the reverse is also true in our world. The light artifact, left behind by some careless campers, always wants to seek cryptids out to uncover and destroy them. Poor lil fellas! They can never catch a break. As the timer beneath your character ticks down while holding the light, so does the time you each have left in the round. If you hold the light for too long, you will explode and be out of the round. But you're a cryptid! A simple thing like exploding can't keep you down. You'll be back together again in time for the next round. Which of your friends can survive the map and stay away from the light the longest? You'll have to play to find out. Our game maps feature several popular tourist attractions in the state, such as New River Gorge and Raven's Rock. Parts of each map will either hurt or help you in your goal. There are collectibles that appear that can also help you. Our studio is student and community run. We're learning to be professionals, guided by a few mentors and friends from other studios with more experience. Please do keep all of that in mind as you play any of our games. Because of this our process works in parallel with a university schedule, so we'll minimally have updates to share with early access participants at the end of every semester. We may have more some semesters. We intend to polish the 6 maps we currently have, tighten game play, continue to make our UI more understandable, and bring in timed events if a level takes too long. We want to ensure levels are always 5 minutes or less. We are in a good a position to dream up new maps and fun mechanics as well as we continue to make this worth your time and ours. We'll be focusing on promoting real life areas in Appalachia with this game and its neat mythology. As this is an early access game, we understand t…

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $0.99
  • Highest observed: $0.99

Light Rush's USD price history spans from Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $0.99, the highest is $0.99, and the first visible tracked price is $0.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Light Rush's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.99, from Oct 5, 2026 through Oct 5, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $0.99. The latest run records $0.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $0.99
  • Current list price: $0.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Light Rush at $0.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
