Rocket Blasters

Rocket Blasters is a space-themed shoot-'em-up where you pilot a rocket through the stars, destroying asteroids, enemy ships and occasional bosses to score points. The Dread Pizza Armada is planning an attack on Earth, and you must destroy as many of its drones as possible.

Scoring and combat

Firing costs one point, while hitting a target earns you two or more points depending on what you hit. Precision and restraint can raise your score more effectively than spamming shots. You can compare your score on the Rocket Blasters Steam Leaderboards.

Asteroids are obstacles, and enemy ships bring additional dangers. Armada drones attack with lasers; destroying them earns more points than blasting asteroids. The triangular Pizza Armada Battleships have arrays of lasers aimed behind them, so lingering there is dangerous. The rare, heavily armored Colossal Dreadnought fires an Annihilation Beam that destroys everything in its path, including asteroids, your rocket and its own drones. Finding its weak spot is key to defeating it.

Rocket upgrades

Your rocket starts with a single laser blaster. As you progress, you may encounter temporary upgrades by flying into floating upgrade gear. A timer displayed above your rocket shows how long each upgrade lasts:

• Triple Blasters: add two lasers to clear obstacles and enemies more efficiently.
• Side Cannons: let you attack from the sides while slipping past enemies and dangers.
• Energy Shield: makes your rocket impervious to danger for a short time.
• Destructo Beam: a recovered Dreadnought Annihilation Beam, re-engineered to fit your rocket.
