Void Rocks

Void Rocks

A minimalist, high-octane retro arcade space shooter powered by authentic zero-friction Newtonian physics!

Trapped in a dark sector of deep space, you must navigate a lethal asteroid storm, evade tactical UFO hunter squadrons, and fight for survival in the cold void. Blast massive space rocks into dense fragments, scoop up weapon upgrade capsules across 5 escalating tiers, and carve your initials into the local hall of fame.
