Rock Declutterer: Leafo's Rocky Challenge for Your Screen

 Tired of monotony? Looking for an engaging puzzle that invites you to clear your mind? "Rock Declutterer," the ingenious game developed by Leafo and available for free on itch.io, is the perfect answer. Inspired by the popular "Bubble Spinner," this title gives it a unique, and as its name suggests, rock-filled twist!

Your mission is simple yet addictive: clear the screen of these rock formations by launching other rocks of the same color to create groups of three or more. The physics of bounces and the rotation of the central board add a strategic layer that will keep you thinking with every move.

Gameplay and Modes for All Tastes

"Rock Declutterer" offers several modes to suit your playstyle and preferences:

• Classic: A single board where you'll find rocks of all colors. Shots bounce off the side walls, forcing you to plan your angles carefully.

• Modern: This mode starts with three rock colors and adds a new one each time you clear a board, up to a maximum of six. Each completed board also increases your score multiplier. Here, shots bounce off all walls and are spent after six bounces, demanding pinpoint precision and even more planning.

• Versus: An exciting two-player mode on the same screen. Prepare your skills for head-to-head rocky combat (available online in non-web builds as an experiment).

Intuitive Controls for a Smooth Experience

Controls are intuitive, whether you prefer using a keyboard, mouse, or gamepad:

• Keyboard/Mouse: Use the mouse or arrows to aim. Hold Shift to turn the cannon slowly. Click, press 'X', or the spacebar to fire. 'P' to pause the game and 'Escape' to quit. The game also supports touch screens!

• Gamepad: Use the D-pad or left stick to aim. Hold the right trigger to turn slowly. 'A' or 'X' to fire. 'Start' to pause. Hold 'Select' to access the menu (where 'A' allows you to quit and 'X' toggles the FPS counter).

• Versus (Specific Controls): In this mode, each player has a gun on one side of the screen. The left player uses WASD keys, while the right player uses the arrow keys. A fun mechanic is that a shot that bounces off the wall and hits the opposing gun will automatically fire whatever it has loaded, with a 10-second cooldown to prevent abuse.

A Personal Touch from the Developer

Although the developer, Leafo, humorously notes that they "ran out of time to make music 😭 HBA!", the game shines with its satisfying sounds when clearing groups of rocks and the engaging dynamics of the board. Player comments already highlight how fun and addictive it is. With an average rating of 4.4 out of 5 stars from 9 ratings and categorized as a puzzle game made with the LÖVE framework, "Rock Declutterer" promises hours of free entertainment and a rewarding challenge.

Don't wait any longer to start your own rock decluttering and discover the satisfaction of a spotless board!
