Space Rocks is a neon take on the classic arcade shooter. Your ship flies around one fixed screen, and the field around you fills with rocks and saucers. THE THREAT Rocks come in waves. Shoot a large rock to split it into medium ones, then into small, fast fragments. Clear the whole screen to start the next wave. Each wave is denser and faster than the last. THE ENEMY Saucers cross the screen and fire at you. The small saucers aim, so keep moving. THE VIBE Crisp, glowing neon vector graphics and a driving rock soundtrack, with arcade sound effects for every shot, blast and thruster burn. FEATURES: Arcade-Style Rules: Wave-based play, rocks that get faster as they shrink, and an extra ship every 10,000 points. Inertial Physics: Thrust, rotate and drift through the chaos. A quick thrust kick gets you moving fast. Wraparound Space: Fly off one edge and appear on the opposite side. Any Device, Any Orientation: Plays on iPhone and iPad in portrait or landscape, with more play area on bigger screens. Smooth 60 FPS: Glowing vector visuals with instant controls. Menu and Pause: Start from the menu, pause any time, and mute the music. High Score Chase: How long can you survive?
