RockBelt
A downloadable game for Windows
v1.0.4.1
An eight-player strategy game in which the goal is to capture the opponent's core cell
Rockbelt is a strategy turn-based board game for two to eight players designed for local multiplayer. The goal of the game is to capture the opponent's base, bypassing the loss of your own chips.
Rules
Movement points
The rules of the game are as follows:
A player can only manipulate one chip per turn.
The player has 2 movement points, which can be used as follows:
- [1] Movement of one square
- [2] Movement of two squares
- [1] Turning
- [2] Wall Push
Restrictions
A chip can only be turned 90 degrees and only once per turn.
You cannot turn toward a wall when you are adjacent to it.
A move can be transferred to next player by spending only 1 point if a relocation has been made.
You cannot return to the point from which the relocation was made in the same move.
Shot
Each move or turn results in a shot. Its length is equal to the distance to the wall on the map.
If the shot hits an enemy player, that player turns into a wall.
Control
Before making a move, select the chip you want to take an action on.
Press the left mouse button (LMB) to activate movement mode and select a new position for the chip.
Press the right mouse button (RMB) to activate the rotate mode and select the direction in which you want to rotate the chip.
Hold down TAB to see the player's nicknames.
Hold down ALT to see the board coordinates, player's last moves. With Alt pressed, mouse left-clicking will create a ping on the cell that all players will see.
Connection
The game supports both dedicated server and hosted sessions (listen server) right inside the game. However, the first method is temporarily unavailable to regular players due to inconvenience.
To start a session, just select "Host Session" in the main menu and click "Host".
To connect to your friend's session, you need to be able to connect to their computer. This can be accomplished by:
- By opening ports (7777)
- By using a local network (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, physical LAN cable).
- By connecting to a virtual LAN (Radmin VPN, Hamachi).
Session search can take up to a minute.
The developers tested the connection via Radmin VPN.
