About the Game

CREATE AND THROW ROCKS.

Pull rocks from the islands around you. Charge up your throw and launch them at your opponents. Smash them with a rock, or let the flying fragments finish the job!

FIGHT YOUR FRIENDS

Battle with up to 6 players or fight against bots. Hit your opponents with your rocks or their fragments to score points. Get the most points to win!

POWER-UPS

Collect power-ups flying around the arena:

  • BIG ROCK: Create larger rocks. Like rock, paper, scissors, bigger rocks always win!
  • TRIPLE ROCK: Throw three rocks at once. You can block one, but can you block all three?
  • BOUNCY ROCK: Rocks bounce once with a satisfying ping-pong effect.
  • SHOTGUN ROCK: The rock explodes into tiny fragments after you throw it. There's no rock to throw back at you!
  • SPIKEY ROCK: Spread spikes around the impact point of your thrown rock.
  • AND MANY MORE!

And combine them:

  • BIG + BOUNCY ROCK
  • TRIPLE + SHOTGUN ROCK
  • AND MANY MORE!

USE THE PHYSICS

  • THROW YOURSELF: Throw a rock and fly backwards! Use your rocks to jump, dodge, and reach new places.
  • THROW ROCKS BACK: Catch rocks thrown at you and send them right back!
  • BLOCK WITH ROCKS: Hold a rock in front of you. Incoming rocks smash into it and break apart!
  • USE THE WORLD: Pull rocks from more than just islands. Grab stones from lighthouses, rocks hanging from vines, and more!

EASY TO PLAY. FULL OF SURPRISES.

Pick up a controller, press one button to create and throw rocks, and see what happens!
