Codeglue needs your help!
We’ve decided to create some cool Rocket Riot t-shirts to give away as prizes. But we can’t decide which we like best. So we would like you guys to decide for us. You can vote using Twitter. Tweet the hashtag you find under each t-shirt plus the Rocket Riot hashtag to cast your vote. E.g. tweet “I like the #bananaman t-shirt best! #rocketriot”. Or “The #smellybum t-shirt does it for me! #rocketriot”. We’ll collect the score next week and the top winning shirts will be printed as a prize for the competitions we will start soon! Oh, and if you don’t have a twitter account you can also leave a comment to vote for the t-shirt. Just please don’t break our site!
The Rocket Riot team
P.S. Click the thumbnails to see a preview of the shirt and click the #hashtags to automatically create a twitter message with you selected shirt in it!

Alright, some more reviews are popping up around the web! Here are four more of them, all with great grades!
SFX-360 review
Wonderwall Web review
Gaminator review
The Gaminator review is in Polish, but they were kind enough to send us some translations from the article:
“It’s only 800 MS Points, and you get a great action game with beautiful pixel-art graphics, straight from 8bits, awesome sound and gameplay that really owns!…”
“Must have for every action games addict! For anyone else, too…”
“Perfect game to play with you friends…”
Gamer.nl review
Last but not least, the Gamer.nl review is in Dutch. Here are some translations from the article:
“The art style and choice of colors is unmistakably inspired by games from the 8-bit era, which means Rocket Riot will probably invoke nostalgic feelings within a lot of gamers…”
“The controls are extremely simple but extremely accurate at the same time…”
“The unique retro look gives this game a bit more edge…”
Well, those are some great reviews! Thanks, everyone!

In case you were wondering what the lyrics to that wonderful Rocket Riot theme song are, wonder no more!
Retro’s never been old fashioned,
we are showing no compassion,
Here we go now, hold on tight!
Grab your jetpack and get with it,
wreck it, hit it, kill it, shoot it,
come on and let’s start the fight.
You had never so much fun,
killing meanies with your gun,
you like to shoot, so don’t deny it.
Shoot your weapon, and then reload,
till the last bit to explode
there’s no need to be polite.
So now you can sing along over your headset in all the online multiplayer modes! The other players will thank you!

Have we got a treat for all you Rocket Riot fans out there!
We are giving you some Rocket Riot ringtones for free! So even if your mom or girlfriend is bugging you or you’re hard at work, you can still enjoy the soothing sounds of Rocket Riot!
The music and sounds in Rocket Riot were made by a company called Sonic Picnic from Rotterdam, the Netherlands. As you have all probably heard: they did an awesome job of complementing the retro graphics and gameplay with their sounds and music!
Go check out their website:
Sonicpicnic.com
And now, without further ado: here are the ringtones! There are three flavors: ‘Rocket Riot, Rocket Riot’, the Rocket Riot theme song and the Rocket Riot theme song instrumental!
MP3 versions
M4R versions (for iPhone)
Download, unzip and enjoy! Think of us whenever you get a call!
