Variations on Rockdodger

Variations on Rockdodger (VoR) is a quick little game perfect for those looking to kill some spare time. The game involves guiding a space-ship through an asteroid field, but be warned, it's a challenging one. Even for seasoned gamers, it may take a while to master the gameplay. For reference, the best recorded time for version 0.3 is around 2 minutes by Josh Grams, who admits he's not the best at video games.

However, if the game seems too challenging, the latest update, version 0.3, includes a new feature that allows you to slow down the game's speed. The command-line option --game-speed=N% permits new players to enjoy the game while improving their skills without feeling overwhelmed. Setting the game speed to 0.75 or even 0.66 may be a good starting point for beginners.

This release includes some noteworthy changes, such as the fix of some rounding bugs that used to cause crashes on x86. Additionally, some tweaks have been made to the engines and explosions, and a new ray-traced font has been introduced into the game. Overall, Variations on Rockdodger is a fun and challenging game that is worthwhile playing for anyone willing to take on the challenge.
