About the Game

Don't flip your ship! As the boom's crew, dodge sharks and other sea denizens as you push back on wind and cargo to keep the ship afloat during your perilous sea journey. Remember, balance is key or you will rock the boom...

Rock the Boom is a game about balance - you and up to three other players board a traditional Kuwaiti boom vessel (also known as a dhow) with the objective of preventing it from capsizing. Everything on the ship has weight, causing it to tilt, from players to cargo. Crates will slide, barrels will roll, and chaos will ensue, so it's up to you and your crew to coordinate or you might end up sleeping with the fishes 🐟

Catastrophic Cooperation

A tight campaign will feature several journeys that culminate into boss fights that will put your cooperative communication to the test.

A Hostile Ocean

Unpredictable weather, dangerous sea creatures, and bizarre cargo will keep you on your toes as you journey across the seas.

Different Modes of Play

Along the way you will unlock new game modes that will change the way you play such as survival mode, traitor mode, and even Puffer Ball!

Express Yourself

Besides different game modes, completing objectives will unlock cosmetic items that you can wear to customize your character and express your seafaring self.
