Full Release Notes
version 0.3.0 - 2021-01-29 Fri
Player-visible changes
- Added a tutorial so players can quickly learn everything they need to know to get into the game.
- Added a new enemy to the game - Time Bombs! These are larger than seeker mines, but they also seek the player, and will explode on contact OR when their timer runs out, with a very powerful explosion!
- Added a "power-up!" sound when the player picks up a powerup.
- Made some behavior of unstable asteroids independent of time warp.
- Added HUD scale option to Options Screen.
- Harmonized a bunch of icons so that the same symbol appears on the powerup object as on the scanner.
- Improved the operation of the Advanced Stabilizer so it becomes much more useful and valuable.
- Added an indicator to the HUD for when the player is using the Targeting computer.
- Added an indicator to the HUD to show the time warp factor and the direction of time flow.

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...
