Hi pilots!
Looking over reviews, I see folks didn't like the oscillating stripes I originally used for the out-of-bounds field. Well ok fine. It only took 10 years but I finally replaced it. Thank you for your patience.
Release Notes 13 April 2026
Change out-of-bounds visuals from oscillating stripes to lil blobs. I never did like the oscillating stripes, and folks have complained that it makes them dizzy.
Add boundary glow when the ship is close so boundaries are stark and extra obvious.
Fix rocket explode sound
Cheers, Jack

Ahoy Pilots!
Gun Rocket was originally published in May 2016. It was my game published for sale. Soon after publishing, I sold the distribution rights and was not involved for years. When I got it back, I tore out the splash screen ad and largely left it alone.
I've been reflecting on 10 years as a game developer. As a part of that, I rediscovered Gun Rocket and remembered how much it meant to me. So I tried to play it, and it would not even launch.
So I am back to fix it. Patch Notes:
Fix game refusing to actually start. Updated from Unity Engine 5.5 (2018) to Unity Engine 6.3.
Removed multiplayer aspects. Unity shut down the underlying service a long time ago.
Fix rocket exploding if ship is at rest.
Fix "Egg-on" text showing bunk values.
Fix controller navigation on main menu
Add fullscreen / windowed resolution options
I've got some more cooking. Next on the hit list is to replace that awful out-of-bounds stripe visual.
Cheers, Jack
