"They fall from the skies. They are not just meteors. They are alive. And they want everything."

- Commander Rhaegon Voss, BCF High Command

In Blackrock, you are the last line of defense - a Commander of the Blackrock Containment Force (BCF). Your mission: stop the spread of a sentient meteorite known only as the Blackrock, before it corrupts the planet entirely.

Dropped into hostile terrain with only a portal, a shard generator, and your launchpad, you’ll need to summon and command units called Bravelings — autonomous fighters born to resist the Glimmergrubs, the grotesque minions spawned by the Blackrock.

Features:

Command the BCF – Step into the boots of a tactical Commander with real-time combat control.

Fend off Glimmergrubs – Face swarms of corrupted enemies that evolve and swarm relentlessly.

Summon Bravelings – Use collected shards to deploy autonomous soldiers that fight by your side.

Upgrade Everything – Enhance your troops, defenses, generator, and your own combat skills.

Tactical Base Defense – Protect the generator, and outlast the corruption.

Fast-Paced Pixel Combat –  Shoot with precision in animated pixel style.

Destroy the Blackrock – The fight isn’t over until the Blackrock is destroyed.

Story Development Status:

The core narrative and world of Blackrock are actively in development.
While the foundation of the story, factions, and setting is already established, the full narrative experience is being expanded step by step.

New story segments, characters, and contextual events will be added over time, further revealing the origins of the Blackrock, the role of the BCF, and the greater threat behind the corruption.

Story development is tightly integrated with gameplay updates, ensuring that new narrative content grows naturally alongside mechanics, environments, and progression systems.

Sidenote:

Blackrock originally began as a small learning project to explore coding, game design, and the possibilities of GameMaker. Over time, it steadily grew into a larger experience - one that continues to evolve.

This is a long-term passion project, developed and expanded step by step.

Development is ongoing, with regular updates, gameplay improvements, and new features planned.

Thank you for your interest in Blackrock. The fight against corruption has only just begun.

Tiedote tekoälysisällöstä

Kehittäjät kuvailevat pelissään käytettävää tekoälysisältöä seuraavasti:

AI tools were used during development as a creative support tool.
They were primarily used for early graphical sketches and for code-related assistance such as debugging, helping me efficiently combine drawing, coding, composing, and story writing as a solo developer.

No AI-generated content is used directly in the final game.
All assets, code, music, and narrative content were created, refined, and implemented manually.

The use of AI was purely supportive and inspirational, serving as a catalyst for creativity rather than a source of finished content.
Transparency in the development process is important to me, which is why I am openly disclosing this here.
