## What is Rockhopper?

Rockhopper is a space mining game. Fly your little ship through a 3D asteroid belt, land on a rock and turn it in your hands to find its crystals and ore. Tap to break them free, but mine too hard in one spot and the rock cracks apart. And all the while, your oxygen is running down.

BUILD YOUR SHIP
Crystals pay for new parts. Pick your next upgrade in the Garage, fill its meter, then fit the part yourself in a short hands-on minigame: wire the engine, solder the scanner board, forge a pickaxe, fill an oxygen tank, tune the shield. Every part changes how you fly and how you mine.

NEW SECTORS
Max out your ship to travel on: from the Belt to the icy Frost Reach and the molten Cinder Reach, each with rocks that play by new rules.

NOT EVERY ROCK IS A ROCK
Alien ships hide in the belt disguised as asteroids. Land on one and it is a fight: take the turret and win with your Gatling gun and railgun. Ship-to-ship combat only, with sparks and scrap, no blood. Win and you keep the salvage; lose and you drop some crystals and fly slower until your ship is repaired.

A PLANET EVERY DAY
A new planet to drill every day, its layers different each time. Steer the drill down to the core and bring back what you find.

MAKE IT YOURS
Ore buys new paint for your ship and new gear for your astronaut.
