FAQ RUST BUSTERS · Co-op Arcade Shooter
Do I need an account?
No. Each stage's best score, stars and clears are saved in your browser. Logging in with a GameNow account merges them into your account, keeping the higher value of each.
Can my friend join after we have started?
Yes. Opening the link or entering the room code puts the friend beside you with 2.5 s of invincibility. More robots appear at once, but the current area's gauge and boss health stay as they were set when it began; the next area is sized for two.
What happens if I hit a civilian?
You lose 1,000 points (never below zero) and a heart, even while blinking after a hit. Only bullets count; explosions never hurt civilians. A civilian who gets across unhurt gives 500 to every player and sometimes drops a medkit or grenades.
Why did I get only one star?
A continue limits that stage to one star. Two stars need a clear without continues; three also need 3 hits or fewer, averaged over both players in co-op.
What if my connection drops in co-op?
Your commando stays on the field, standing still, and your seat is kept for 30 seconds; the game reconnects you to it in the same browser tab. If you leave the room, your commando is removed and your partner carries on alone.
