About the Game

RescueQ is a Up-down rescue puzzle action game in which you and your buddy, a rescue worker, are on a mission to rescue people in distress.

During the rescue mission, Buddy will be blocked by various terrains and gimmicks. You are in charge of supporting your buddy as he navigates the terrain and gimmicks and paves the way for the rescuers.

The first step is to send your buddy to the person in distress. Buddy follows the route, but there are obstacles along the way that block his way. You must solve puzzles on behalf of Buddy, whose hands are full, to clear the way for him.

Once you succeed in getting your buddy safely to the distressed person, use the stretcher to carry him or her to the rescue point. However, obstacles may lie in wait not only on the way there, but also on the way back. Sometimes you may encounter accidents.

A wide variety of gimmicks will challenge you and your buddy, such as moving crates, operating lifts, holding back rushing water, and even moving trolleys.

Rescue operations take place in unique terrains such as basins, capes, snow-covered mountains, and even tunnels.

At each stage, the time taken to complete the rescue is tallied, and a rescue operation rating is determined accordingly. The higher the rating, the more ornaments are obtained as rewards, and players can enjoy dressing up.

It is a good idea to aim for the highest rating in all stages with the goal of acquiring all ornaments.
