The six games listed above will be increasing in price on or around Monday, May 13th depending on when Steam approves the price changes submitted.
These price increases are influenced by a number of factors including these six games haven't seen a price increase since 2022 or earlier. These are games that offer incredible value for their price even after the price increase, and also due to the inflation of almost everything the world over.
While these price increases are only a dollar or two each, if you've been considering purchasing one of these six games, this weekend before the price increases would be a great time to grab them!
Have a great weekend or day whenever you read this message!

Price Increase Effective Immediately to $6.99 USD, Later to $7.99 USD
Getting the price right for this unique indie title has been tough. Rock 'N Roll has been priced as low as $2.99 and as high as $12.99. Eventually it will find a median price tag at which I'll keep it at for good, and $7.99 seems like more than a fair price and a great value for the amount of content it contains. Rock 'N Roll will first be increased just one dollar to $6.99 immediately, and then $7.99 USD in September.
Remember to Rock 'N Roll once in a while. Too much heavy metal or too much soft rock isn't good for the soul. if you really wanna shake things up, you need to let loose and "Rock 'N Roll"! =)

UPDATE 2.32 - Small Fixes
Just a very small update that fixes some small problems with the game..
The main issue fixed was you should no longer get alarms to get moving faster when you're dead waiting to re-spawn a new ship.
The depth of smaller asteroids should always appear in front of bigger rocks now as well.
..Nothing major, like I said, just a small update addressing minor details of the game.
Rock ' N Roll Price Reduced By 45%! - Now Only $4.99!
After Rock 'N Roll has been set at $8.99 for a long time, I've decided to reduce the cost to just $4.99 USD! This is a game that I've put over 1,200 hours worth of work into and over 100 updates over the years! ..And you can get it for less than the cost a cup of coffee!
This is a very small update but massive in terms of the better controls you should feel when playing the main mission mode of Rock 'N Roll.

Rotation Speed has been increased to almost double the previous speed, so right from the start you'll likely notice a lot faster rotation speed of your ship. Remember that thrusting while rotating will help you rotate even faster as well as purchasing rotation upgrades to your ship at the Galactic Upgrade Station (G.U.S.) between waves of asteroids.
Also, the thrust speeds have been lowered to help players have much more control over their movement speed. Remember that playing with a controller is still the optimal method to help you have more control over your thrust speed as you can better throttle your thrust with the right throttle button (R2).
Hopefully these major changes will help players feel like they have better control over their ship and enjoy Rock 'N Roll more than ever before! ..I'd love to know what you think however, so please post your feedback below or on the forums here!
Enjoy and remember that Rock 'N Roll is great music.. and of course a great retro action arcade game as well! ;-)
Just a small update here that fixed the volume levels on the tutorial so the volumes are based on what you set in the settings with the sliders.
Also in this update is a fix to the bouncy shots power-up that somehow got broken in a previous update. You shots while using this power-up should now bounce off the edges of the screen and continue bouncing around until they hit an asteroid or an enemy as intended.
I've also added a small visual flair when you pick up a G.E.O.S. gem or any power-up in this small update.
Enjoy everyone!
Price Drop All The Way Down To Just $6.99 USD
My fight to find the best price to offer Rock 'N Roll at continues...
I feel that Rock 'N Roll offers fantastic value for any fan of relentless bullet hell shooters at $7. So I am cutting my current $12.99 price almost in half all way down to just $6.99 USD.
If you don't own it and combine this price with my current "Buy any ZaxtorGameS you don't yet own at 50% off! Bundle offer, that cuts the price even further all the way down to just $3.50 USD! And considering the amount of content I've added since launch with well more than 100 updates to date, I strongly believe that Rock 'N Roll offers superb value and replay value now!
Happy Holidays everyone!
Kickstarter For My Newest Title, A Love Story Backed Money Management Simulator!
Please check out and consider supporting my newest game in development now! Remember that just sharing the link to the Lem-Amaze kickstarter is also supporting it!
This game is a completely different direction for me in indie game development and I'd appreciate your support in any way that you can!

Update 2.25 has arrived, and Rock 'N Roll finally has a threat to motivate players to keep moving like I originally intended for Rock 'N Roll at launch more than two years ago!
Just as the G.E.O.S. gems are your only chance to save the Earth from the impending doom and made up of life magic, Azsloth is made possible from a dark magic traveling from the Earth back to where you are in space. Hope has already been lost back on Earth by the majority of the population where crime, murder and chaos has run rampant. Most back home do not trust you to be able to save them, and their fears and lack of trust formed in the despair of their hearts helps form the deadliest threat you've ever faced in Rock 'N Roll!
Azsloth represents the anger of the desperate and fearful billions of lives back on Earth who's spirits get angry when you don't stay motivated towards saving them. To them, positioning yourself in one spot and firing away represents laziness and no interest in saving them from the threat of the millions of asteroids.
Facing Azsloth will not be in your best interest if you are indeed wanting to save the Earth because his presence will likely mean the loss of your invaluable lives. To prevent him from being born from the asteroids, you'll need to keep your ship moving and keep the green cheetah and border green in color. The new UI now shows your current speed and your average speed. It is your average speed that is used to turn the cheetah to the green color which means you are safe from Azsloth being born.
The game continually checks your average speed versus the current number of asteroids on the screen. The more asteroids and danger that are present, the lower your average speed requirement is to prevent the spawning of Azsloth.
The game will give you three "Get Moving" warning with the dark magic energy all over your screen before Azsloth will form from any remaining asteroids on your screen. The more asteroids he consumes, the more health he will have! He has a variety of different attacks, so be ready for anything!
Even if you defeat Azsloth, you haven't actually won the battle yet as his death will leave behind lots of asteroids and also chunks of his body that will spell death to you if you collide with any of them! His body parts can be destroyed with the same attack that Azsloth is most vulnerable to when he is alive, so keep that in mind.
Also note that Azsloth is only in the Mission mode of the game and nothing has changed with the Hard Rock mode.
Good luck and have fun playing this new challenging version of Rock 'N Roll that should keep you on your toes and make your gameplay more exciting than ever before!
