  • Abstract:  John Rochard is an astro-miner and spends his time cracking rocks to unearth the precious ore within. As the game says, 'Rock is hard, but Rochard is harder'. Something made very clear when his mining ship is overtaken by Space Pirates. You see, everyo...

  • Abstract:  Side-scrollers, while they still exist, have mostly become indie fare recently while larger companies focus on different genres. Enter Rochard, a side-scrolling physics platformer/puzzler that combines a slightly twisted sense of humor with some genu...

  • Abstract:  Please look past the title of Rochard. Yes, it's the protagonist's surname, but it's also a terrible pun using the words rock and hard. You see, the game takes place on an asteroid mining colony. Where you mine rocks. Hard rocks. Don't worry though, ...
