Shooty Rocks is a 3D endless space shooter inspired by the arcade classic Asteroids. Survive for as long as you can shooting apart or avoiding asteroids as they orbit the Earth. Be aware though that since you're flying around a planet the asteroids could come up from behind! Compete against your friends on the Game Center leaderboard and share your high score death cam selfie on Twitter or Facebook. If you're lucky blowing apart an asteroid will reveal a shield power-up! Collecting this will give you a life line should you collide with an asteroid later. The shield is strong enough for a single impact but after this will need to be replaced. We have lots more features to add in the future so get in touch if you have any ideas! Any questions or problems you can find us on twitter @shootyrocks
