About
"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.

Reviews
Seeing Blackrock come to life has been amazing. My dad has been working on this game for a long time, and it's honestly really fun to play – even for someone who doesn’t usually go for action shooters. You command these cool autonomous units and fight against creepy alien stuff, and the visuals are super intense (in a good way!). There are also hidden secrets if you look closely, which I really enjoyed discovering. I’ve seen how much effort and love he put into this, and I think it really shows. Definitely worth checking out – not just because I'm biased (of course i am, how can i not?), but because it's genuinely a great game.
Bu taktiksel yukarıdan aşağıya nişancı üs savunmasında BCF'yi duyarlı Blackrock'lara karşı yönetin. Braveling'leri konuşlandırın, Glimmergrub'larla savaşın ve Blackrock her şeyi mahvetmeden yok edin.

Fragmented Soul: Blackrock is a well balanced but also challenging 2D tactical squad shooter packed with a bunch of useful features that make every encounter intense. The game is full of detail and crafted with a lot of love. Satisfying gunplay with a dark atmospheric vibe that really pulls you in. The dynamic soundtrack makes things match up even more. What impressed me the most so far is the story mode. One playthrough seems not enough. The Skirmish Mode is tough and fun too, but I'm really excited to see more Storyline. The map design is clever and varied, and the Infinity Mode keeps the action going endlessly. This game knows exactly what it wants to be: fun to play
The game is very captivating. I am very excited about the upcoming story. The normal mode is perfect the get into the gameplay and the mechanic of the game. The hard mode is trickier but fun to play but i have no chance in the expert mode yet. So I will play more to get better and try different strategies. I am also happy to see more maps with different mechanics and new enemies. The easter eggs are also very funny.
Dropped a grenade, everyone exploded, including me. 10/10 very smooth & fast paced tactic shooter, love it. <3
