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 - and signed a contract with the GOX CORPORATION to venture out into the asteroid fields of deep space to mine for valuable resources! Your job will be to harvest those rocks and not get killed in the process. Ancient seeker mines and alien marauders haunt the asteroids and will try to stop you! And if the asteroids don't crush you, or the aliens vaporize you, the interest payments might bury you anyway...

Player-visible changes
- Added tabs to the Options screen. The options screen was getting pretty crowded, so I broke it into tabs with a selector up top.
- Added a Geiger counter to the game. Your ship is now equipped with a Geiger counter which will click near radioactive or exotic asteroids. There is no impact on gameplay, but I think it's cool and adds some atmosphere to the game.
- Added jump-to-section buttons to the tutorial. Their behavior is still pretty rough and I will need to spend some time improving that, but they work pretty well already.
- Added a reminder to the player that if you have the reverse time powerup, and you pick up another reverse time powerup, the powerup is cancelled (because two negatives make a positive!)
- Made some performance improvements. I'll need to do yet another performance pass soon to hunt for places which aren't well-optimized.
