Become a rock in this simulation game
Rock Simulator is a video game from Vinco that, as the name suggests, lets you play rock. Unlike other simulation games, it requires minimal input from the players. As you take on the role of rock, your goal is to stay static until you level up.
However, this does mean that there is nothing in Rock Simulator for players to enjoy. As you reach certain levels, you can unlock new landscapes. You can also get new skins for your rock. However, to level up, it requires a permanent internet connection, as you need to run the game.
Gain something by doing nothing
Rock Simulator offers relaxing simulation gameplay. As you play rock in this game, you will be doing nothing but watch as time passes by. You have zero responsibilities, unlike other simulators. There are no controls to set up because there aren’t any. Your only task is to watch the image of a static rock. You cannot move the camera at all.
At the bottom of the screen is where your level meter is. This meter fills up as you watch longer. Once the meter is filled, you have completed the level. Completing certain levels allows you to unlock other biomes, including the desert, snowy mountains, grassy plain, and even the space. You can also change the look of your rock by unlocking other skins.
While it lacks gameplay, this simulator offers realistic graphics and map design. The visual comes rich with detail, which you can closely scrutinize—seeing as you don't have anything to do. Moreover, everything you see on the map—save the rock—moves realistically. However, the day/night cycle only works on the first location. Like the rock, the sun remains stationary in the succeeding landscapes.
Still rocks
All in all, Rock Simulator offers a unique game experience. However, if you are looking for the usual simulator gameplay, this is not it. It is more of an idle game, where you do nothing but wait and watch your rock. Note, however, that there is no offline save available. To complete levels, you have to keep the game running. It is, nevertheless, a relaxing game worth checking out.
