spacerocks

This is a little multiplayer game where you can fly around and shoot rocks in space. It may remind you just a little bit of another such game made in the late 70s. Maybe.

When I was leaving one of my previous jobs a couple years ago, I made this game after my friends at work kept asking when I was leaving. I was very sad to be leaving, and needed something a little cathartic. And what's more cathartic than trolling? The game had a countdown clock until 5pm on my last day, and the number of players slowly grew as 00:00:00 grew closer. When the clock finally expired, the game redirected the players to a video that I thought everyone would enjoy, and the office was filled with its soothing tones.

Running the game

You can play by visiting https://spacerocks.herokuapp.com/, but if you want to run the app locally, just clone the repo, run npm install, and then run npm start. Open http://127.0.0.1:8080 and you should see happy little space rocks floating aimlessly across your screen, blissfully unaware of their immediate peril.
