About the Game

Get Your Rocks Off!


ROCKJACK is a new space shooter inspired by the classic ASTEROIDS from 1979, as well as other games in the genre, all given a modern refresh. Fast, fluid, immersive gameplay is our primary goal in creating ROCKJACK!

You're a gig worker in the distant future, scrounging a living as best you can on the interstellar frontier. Short on funds, you've decided to become a ROCKJACK - an asteroid miner - and you've signed a contract with the GOX CORPORATION to venture out into the asteroid fields of deep space in search of valuable resources! It's a dirty and dangerous job - ancient seeker mines and alien marauders haunt the asteroids and will try to stop you! But if you survive, there's a very tiny possibility that you might get rich!

  • Classic Arcade Action updated with better graphics, better physics, better gameplay, and a whole lot more attitude
  • Six different types of asteroids to harvest
  • Five different types of enemies to get in your way
  • Saucers drop over two dozen different types of powerups to enhance your asteroid-hunting experience - use their own technology against them!
