Rocky Mayhem News

Hi all,

As you may have noticed since Patch #11, Arcade has been the main focus and has had the most attention with new regular modes, updates and improvements. Therefore the way the menu is laid out and the way that the base game is accessed has been changed.

All modes will now be accessible in one hub when you press Play. Instead of having the base Asteroids game separate, it'll be listed with all the other arcade modes on a game-mode selection screen, named as "Classic", This seems more efficient than prior to the change as classic is finished and will not receive anymore major updates.

Please note that the new gamemode selection screen is a work in progress and not complete. With future updates I'll improve the UI and allow more space for future games and difficulties where needed. Therefore, next update will include these changes as well as Red Light, Green Light: Time Trial series.

Hi all,

This patch features a new mode for you to play, earn achievements and unlock cosmetics!

[h2]Red Light, Green Light: Normal[/h2]
Playable in Arcade Rewards: $25
This new mode is made from the classic children's game, Red Light Green Light. Your goal is to sneak past the S.E.S Brute without being caught. When the brute is faced away, make your way past him slowly. On random intervals, he will turn around and scan for movement. If you move, you die. After 75 seconds have passed, your ship's stealth system will run out of energy, leading to imminent death. Can you race against the clock to escape?

[h2]Red Light, Green Light: Time Trial[/h2]
Playable in Arcade Rewards: $75
Collect all 3 energy crystals and get past the Brute within 75 seconds to secure victory. If you do not collect all of them and escape, you'll only receive $25.
