Rock Rats

What's new? • Selectable starting wave: skip over waves that you've cleared before, for an immediate asteroid frenzy! Clearing the starting wave earns a bonus similar to the score you would get from playing through the skipped waves, so scores are comparable. • Standardized game controller support: you can customize controls in the iOS settings, and make screen captures, recordings, or highlight clips with the controller's share button. • Haptic support, either directly on an iPhone or through an attached game controller • New daily and weekly recurring leaderboards • Three new achievements, for a total of 50 • Playing area aspect ratio is limited to at most 3:2, so game scores are more comparable between iPad and iPhone • Updates for compatibility with iOS 15+

Rock Rats now supports wireless game controllers! Prefer to do your rock-blasting with a full view of the screen? Pair your device with a wireless game controller. In addition to the popular Xbox One and PS4 controllers, any Bluetooth-enabled MFi controller should work. You have a choice of two control setups. The default scheme uses the left thumb stick or dpad for flying, but if you prefer to have forward and reverse thrust mapped to the A/B buttons, there's an option on the settings screen for that. Visit https://rockrats.davidlong.org for a full description of all controls.

Game Center functionality wasn't enabled during initial app submission. Oops :-)
