Rocket - One Month Later

Can you believe it's now been one month since Rocket launched on Steam? I've been very happy with the results so far and wanted to help highlight all the recent additions to the game. Since Rocket launched on February 19th, the game has gotten the following new features and updates:

New Game Mode called Arcade
New Rocket Weapon & Bomb Weapons (Dual Rockets & Rocket Bomb)
Controller Setup - Which to change which button does what? Now you can!
3 New Steam Achievements. 15 in Total Now!
New Mouse Option for Mouse & Keyboard Users that let you auto-fire your weapon by just holding down the Click Button on your Mouse.
Game now fully supports up to 5 Local Players (Keyboard Player + 4 Controllers) with Drop In/Out Multiplayer anywhere in the game by default.
Menus have been reorganized to be better adjusted
Steam Deck Docked option/mode added to help support when Steam Deck is docked
Various graphical & gameplay changes and improvements

What's Next?

This is just 1 of many new updates you can expect for the next few months. You will be able to find new game modes, enemies, achievements, ship upgrades and overall features added. But here is what is in the cards right now: Survive Mode - This will be similar to Arcade Mode, you start with nothing. Here you are given limited resources & no rocket regen. You will need to survive X amount of time in each level to advance to the next level. Every time you survive a level, you will be given a popup allowing you to choose 1 of 3 Ship Upgrade options. Each new Level takes a little more time and your rockets will be refilled. Don't have to defeat all the enemies or asteroids here, just need to survive and get out of harms way long enough to advance to the next level. This should make for some fun challenging gameplay. Expect to be able to play this new game mode sometime by May or June. New Ship Upgrades - You can expect several new fun Ship Upgrades to come to the game in the next few months. These will be sprinkled throughout the various weekly updates to the game. Here are some of the various new upgrades in the works:

Shield - A protective upgrade that temporarily prevents you from taking damage
Score Multiplier - An upgrade that will increase the Score you get in the game at the cost of having the game be harder.
New Weapon Options - Need I say more?

Fun Visual Mode Unlock - A fun new retro visual look is in the works for the game that can be unlocked. This will make the game look and feel like a classic game from the 70s & 80s. [previewyoutube=VET_PIiPSvI;full][/previewyoutube]

About Rocket!

This is an arcade style space shooter game, with heavy influences from the classic Atari game Asteroids as well as the gameplay fun and challenge of a Bullet Hell / Shoot Em Up. As you shoot down asteroids and fire on various enemy ships, you will gain various resources you will need to upgrade your ship with more powerful weapons and various upgrades. Don't forget to avoid space anomalies like black holes and supernovas!

Work toward upgrading your ship each time you play. Each play through builds up resources you can use to power up your ship, allowing you to score higher and explore further. Maximize your ship’s power to rank high on the online leaderboards!

Local Co-Op

Got an extra controller and a friend nearby? Check out the local co-op! Just pop in that second controller while playing and your buddy will join in on the fun. Can you both survive the depths and get a high score?

This game is perfect for Steam's Remote Play Together as well! Invite your friend to play through the magic of Steam without being in the same room!
