BULA RUSH VI is out: drive Florida, bar to bar

A whole new game for grown-ups: drive between real kava bars, run three nights of jobs with the crew, outrun five-star chases and the King Tide.

BULA RUSH VI is a whole new game, and as of tonight anyone can play it. You drive a stretch of Florida, slam shells in real kava bars, and stay one step ahead of the Kava Kops. It's a cartoon chase game with cartoon weapons, so it's for grown-ups (18+).

Why we built it

BULA RUSH is a quick run through one bar at a time. We wanted something bigger you could sink into: streets to drive between the bars, a story, a crew, and kava bars as the places where you're safe.

The crew, and the story

Story mode is three nights of jobs from Lucky, 23 in all. You start as Turko, who can smooth-talk his way out of most things. Close out Night 1 and JRock joins, with her squirrel. Night 2 brings OG out of retirement ("Same tux. He still buys the round."). Finish all three and Anne turns up, because nobody says no to Anne. Each one has a move of their own, and in a bar you can tag a partner in for a burst of extra points.

Prefer no story? Free roam has no clock. Lucky texts you side jobs, bars run happy hours, and you bank your score from the pause screen inside any safe house.

Five stars, and the King Tide

Cause enough trouble and the stars stack up. At five, a Kops helicopter holds a searchlight on you, a news chopper starts narrating your run, and an armored truck rolls out that takes three rockets to stop. Every rocket homes in, and the helicopters can be shot down.

Drive around for too long, or skip ten kava bars in a row, and the King Tide comes in. A wave rolls in from up ahead: be in the air when it hits, then stay out of the water. Any kava bar is high ground.

The little things

The street pulses to the radio, and moves made on the beat build a streak. Hit KAVA for a few seconds of slow motion and chain big moments together. The game saves when you walk into a kava bar, so Resume last game picks up where you left off. And every run ends on the front page of The Bula Bulletin, which you can share or send to a friend as a dare.
