You can help!

We would love to get more visibility for Rocket Wars and the easiest step right now is that ourr review score goes public. All you have to do is write a review for the game, and when Steam thinks that we have enough, it will show up publicly which will help new players know what the existing community thinks of the game. Once again, thank you for playing and we hope to bring you more updates in the future!
