Crazy Desert Car is an exciting game in the arcade genre.

Rock adventure is a runner made in an atmospheric New Year's style. In the game you have to go through many dangerous obstacles, while maintaining the integrity of your stone and at the same time gaining experience points.

Also in the game there is an in-game currency, in the form of coins. With the coins you earn, you can change the appearance of the stone to your liking. There are other unique currencies in the game, collecting which you can unlock beautiful achievements and buy higher quality boulders. Buying a new boulder, you increase its strength, speed, as well as other useful characteristics.

In addition to interesting mechanics, the game has beautiful graphics, achieved by us thanks to the competent post-processing settings, as well as the use of high-quality PBR materials. The game has good optimization, thanks to which it will run smoothly even on the weakest devices.

How to play : Control your boulder to travel as far as possible and collect as many different in-game currencies as possible. Management in the game is as simple as possible. Use the A and D keys to control the boulder. Despite such a simple control, consisting of two keys, the game is very complex.

Each time it will become more and more difficult for you, but the further you go, the more coins, points and stars you will get. You can spend stars and coins to buy new boulders. By purchasing another boulder and selecting it, you can significantly improve the characteristics of your boulder, thereby greatly simplifying the game!

Rock Adventure:

In Brief:
This is a type of runner game that I've not seen before. The reason I say 'type' of runner game is because you don't lose your life as soon as you crash, like all of the runner games I'm familiar with, instead your rock is weakened after each crash and can take several crashes before you lose the game . As you earn gold, you can purchase stronger rocks that can withstand more impacts.

This is another game from the developer Ashoot, who has previously given us Cemetery Warrior 1 to 5, Invention 1 & 2, Space Bandits, The Letter, and more recently Grimland and yesterdays Mr Cube as well as several others. Todays game is a 172MB download, and once installed is 341MB in size.

You can see a video of game play HERE
The Game:
The aim of todays game is to navigate your piece of rock along an ice filled gully and survive for as long as you can, picking up several different currencies on your way, and attempting to avoid various obstacles that will inevitably confound you .

Unfortunately, I found Rock Adventure virtually impossible to play because the path ahead was obscured by a thick mist that was only a few meters in front of you. This made avoiding obstacles; especially with my reaction times; which have slowed as I've aged, nigh on impossible; plus, the game was relatively fast-paced right from the outset. Consequently I was constantly crashing into obstacles before I'd even had the chance to react and I rarely survived more than several seconds (crashing into virtually every obstacle in my path),. I did manage to survive for over 30 seconds just the once before my rock was weakened to the point the game ended and that was more through luck and not skill. There is an indicator in the top left of the screen that tells you how weakened your ball is. When the red line disappears, you get a window popping up that says:

''Defeat (Dear Player! I should give you a lump of coal , but take this card instead}} - love game creator''


Plus there are three buttons to the left of the message that say Continue (watch ads), which appears to be disabled. Possibly this is enabled if you manage to survive the first level, where a save point may be created; however, this is just supposition as I was not able to complete even one level (assuming there are a series of levels and not a continuous single level) There's also a Restart and Menu button.
(please see the eighth image below for details)

In the introduction above (below the download button and countdown timer it says there are only two buttons to use with this game i.e. A & D (moves rock Left & Right); however you use the Space bar to jump over certain obstacles; however, this appears to be bugged because more often than not the rock would fly off above the tree tops and just continue into a white out (see the last two images below) indefinitely (with the timer racking up many minutes) until you 'had' to close the game down by pressing Alt + F4 (unless you have a multi monitor setup, then you could press Ctrl + Alt + Del to access the task bar and close it that way. (Alt+F4 is quicker). The space bar is not mentioned in the introduction to the game, which you can read above; just below the countdown timer and Download button). .

These issues (at least for me) are a shame because, from what the introduction to the game states on the Itch.io web site (and above) , the game appears to have a lot of potential; especially compared to the runner game we received yesterday (by the same developer), with additional content such as using in game currency to get better balls of rock; e.g. Candy Rock, Gift Rock, Wood Flasher Rock, Mega Lava and Gold Rock; the more expensive the rock, the stronger it is meant to be able to withstand crashes and therefore you should be able to survive for longer. Also, maps are supposedly being introduced in an upcoming update; however, unless it's given away again at a later date once they are added, we won't see those.

There's also a secret, but you have to earn 150 stars to be able to reveal it. After over ten attempts I'd only earned 9 stars; though I did earn around 200 gold, so was able to purchase the next best rock (Candy Rock) above the default {standard) rock. There are several in game currencies that you can collect as you progress, such as gold coins, snow flakes, gifts, snowmen and stars; however, because I didn't progress very far, I couldn't say what you purchase with these these. The intro' above indicates being able to purchase achievements etc.
Notes on Security

I scanned a zipped copy of the installed game using Virus Total and it found zero hits from 60 antimalware engines.

I like the game but there are a few things I would like to change. First of all, there is way too much fog in the beginning of the game. There needs to be instructions on game play. There is no way to exit the game except to use Task Manager to quit the game. It would be nice to be able to save your game so you can continue later. I would also like to pause the game. Thank you Ashoot and GGAOTD for the opportunity to try out this game.

Dean Berglund,

Hi Dean

You can also press Alt + F4 to leave the game; that said, there's no excuse for not including an exit button to leave a game.

In the game I have found no exit button to quit the game.
You have to press the tasklist shortcut ([win]+[Tab] or [Alt]+[Tab]) to have the possibilty to leave the game.

Hi software-nutzer,
Please excuse the delayed reply; we lost a dear pet yesterday and I wasn't really up to even turning my computer on.

Thank you for this game. It installed perfectly on Win 10 64 bit.
Looks like a cool game BUT....
1) it begins with no warning
2) there is no on/off sound option
3) there are no instructions
4) there is only one speed, and that is fast. A Relax Mode would be good.
5) there is no exit. I had to use Task Manager to exit the game.
I would be nice if the developers could take these comments into consideration and update/adjust the game to make it a bit more user friendly. It would then be an awesome game to play.

This game is a fresh release - only 1 day ago at the time of this posting. The game borrows elements from Super Monkey Ball (Sega) and Marble Madness (Atari)

The ball rolls automatically and you have to use A and D to steer the ball and use the space to make jumps.

If there is one thing I would say is that the developer had a good idea of a running type of game of this type but the way the interface is developed it's more designed for a mobile phone or tablet compared to being released on a Windows desktop platform.

You can see references to it from within the app itself when you lose on a level. It asks you to watch an ad to continue from that point where the functionality is not present.

Also in the first level there is too much fog drawn in on the background to see where you're going. There was a part where I was to jump a ledge and I was too slow many times to jump and had to start over. Maybe I'm not getting the timing right?

This game is in dire need of mouse control using either the left or right mouse button to jump while the mouse movement has more of a precise control over the ball.

A good idea on a runner / Arcade type of game but needs more work as the game is slow paced and needs some more polish.
