Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop News

What’s that? When is this game ACTUALLY coming out? I know, you’ve waited long enough but less of the sass alright? Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop will be officially open for business in November 2024!

We will be waiting for you on your first day but brace yourself for some dark humour, challenging modules and well… it’s a roguelite so… death.

But I promise you, it’s really fun! Check out our new trailer to find out for yourself…



We’ll have a demo for you to try real soon but for now, pack up your tool box and wishlist now!

Oh and if you want to keep up to date with the latest shenanigans, head on over to our Discord Server and meet your fellow Devotees. See you there!

Just a few bug fixes:

• Fixed a soft-lock in tutorial when receiving manual.
  
• Fixed a soft-lock when skipping Fence dialogue.
  
• Fixed Droose being able to run on Wilbur's head.
  

... and a quality of life change:

• Halved required key-hold time to skip dialogue.
  

Thanks to those of you who have played and provided feedback so far, much appreciated.

To those who haven't yet, feel encouraged to (and sorry you missed out on Droose standing on Wilbur's head).
