Tips for a better score
- After a crash you reappear in the centre, flashing and untouchable for about two and a half seconds; use that time to clear the rocks nearest you.
- Small rocks pay 120 points, nearly five times a big one, so chasing one big rock all the way down to dust earns 625 in total.
- Don't split every big rock at once; a screen full of small rocks, which move fastest, is far harder to dodge than a few slow big ones.
- Holding Space fires once but also thrusts, so for steady fire without drifting hold Z or Shift instead, or B on a phone.
About Rock Storm
Rock Storm drops your ship into a field of drifting space rocks. Turn and thrust with real momentum, then blast rocks into smaller rocks until nothing is left, and the next wave rolls in bigger. The screen wraps around, so a rock leaving the bottom comes back at the top. Three lives, no shields, all skill.
A free space rock shooter that runs in your browser. Category: Action games. Made for RetroWorld with original art and sound.
