Read an independent review of the game:

"The whole game features a great 40s / 50s style atmosphere including intro, comic-style story sequences and spaceships that look like add-ons to old breakfast cereals. It's great." Read the full review at Smiling Mac Blog "Rick Rocket offers up some fairly convincing Buck Rogers/Flash Gordon style hand-drawn graphics, some VERY well orchestrated music, and enough action to warrant its $9.99 price tag... if you've been longing for a shooter that has you playing 'just one more level', this is one of the better choices to come along in quite awhile." Read the full review by Richard at Mac Gaming News "Rick Rocket is a fairly satisfying and fun shooter to play... the game has been well thought out and is a polished effort."

What others are saying about the game:

"A great little game - wonderful 40s and 50s style ships and quick, smooth gameplay." - Dawn, posted on MacUpdate.com "Games with asteroids and spaceships have been done to death over the years, but this game can't be added to that pile. When I began playing the game, I thought it would be a typical asteroid game but pleasantly surprised." - Lisa Callaway, posted on Helium.com "The Adventures of Rick Rocket took me by surprise. I first thought it was going to be one of those dumb, non-adventurous games that can't hold your attention. I played a few minutes, and bam it had me." - Ms. Glenda Bell, posted on Helium.com		"A thing that really struck me about the game was how original each level felt... the developers really go creative with the missions, and because of this the game never feels dull or repetitive. I give creativity and innovation a 5 our of 5!" - Shawn Schafer, posted on Helium.com "Each chapter has different obstacles to work your way through. The first chapter, Mysterious Meteors, has you destroy a series of meteors that are on their way to Earth. This was a pretty easy level, just like the old Asteroids game. I thought I was going to be disappointed since it was pretty basic but the next level, Lunar Landers, was totally different... The creativity of the scenarios, power ups and the story line within each chapter is very good." - Michael Riley, posted at Helium.com "Overall, if you want a fun space shooter, Rick Rocket has it all!" - Mica Wong, posted on Helium.com
