Rock Drift
by Nebulark Studio · Action · v1.1.0
Fly Ember, a coral mining scout, through a wrap-around field of cracked rock: break boulders into chunks and pebbles, collect ore and keep drifting.
How to play
- Pick Classic, Sprint, Daily or Zen and press Play. Break every rock without letting one hit you.
- Rotate with the left and right arrows or A and D. Thrust with Up or W. The ship keeps drifting, and the field wraps at every edge.
- Hold Space to fire, or press F to lock auto-fire. Boulders take 3 hits, chunks 2 and pebbles 1. Each break splits a rock into two smaller ones.
- An amber ring marks the rock your nose is lined up on.
- Fly over ore shards to collect them. Every 5 shards charge a shield that absorbs one collision.
- Press Shift to dash: a quick burst you can't be hit during. It recharges in 4.5 s, faster with ore.
- Break rocks in quick succession to raise the chain multiplier up to x4. A hit resets it.
- Classic and Daily: 3 ships, and an extra ship every 10 000 points. Sprint: 90 seconds, and a hit costs 5 s. Zen: no death. P or Esc pauses. End run is on the pause screen. ? opens help.
- Your run is saved automatically: pick it up later with Continue. After any pause the field holds still for a short GET READY.

About Rock Drift
Rock Drift is an inertia space-rock shooter. Your little coral scout turns, thrusts and drifts through a field that wraps at every edge. The painted rocks are tough: boulders take 3 hits, chunks 2 and pebbles 1, and their glowing amber cracks spread with every hit until they split into smaller, faster pieces. Broken rock spills pale ore shards: collect them for points, to charge a one-hit shield (every 5 shards) and to shorten the cooldown of your dash, a quick burst that phases the ship through danger. Quick breaks build a chain multiplier up to x4, and from wave 3 comet drones cross the field lobbing plasma orbs. Classic gives you 3 ships, Sprint is a 90-second score attack, Daily flies the same seeded field as everyone else today, and Zen is a relaxed endless drift with no death.
