Steam reviews

What players say

Players overwhelmingly recommend this quirky rock simulator, mainly for its relaxing, silly charm and the surprisingly varied mini-games.

Many players describe it as a relaxing, deliberately silly idle game about being a rock. Players praise the polish of the visuals and music, the calming atmosphere, and the variety of mini-games, with the rock-merging Tetris-like puzzle and the racing and breeding modes singled out. Several reviewers like that it is free and that multiplayer and VR are available. Some players say the game is simple and a clicker at heart, and that the mini-games are uneven. Others point to a lack of customisation options and locations. A few players mention that other players in multiplayer can be intense and very competitive. Reviews from the last year and the older helpful reviews agree on the overall picture.
