Rocky Racers is a 2D top-down space racing competition. A large number of spaceships compete on a course surrounded by asteroids. In this race, it is not enough to just move forward; each ship can shoot at other ships or activate tractor beams to slow down other ships.
The game also allows you to race over a network using TCP/IP and IPX. There are nine courses in the game. The courses are Jupiter 500, Phobos Derby, Andromeda Cup, Mars Madness, Jovian 500, Mercury 2000, Black Hole, Asteroid Alley and Vortex.
