- 1.1 Update Now Live - 7 March 2025
A content update for Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop has just dropped – what a time to be alive! Alongside the standard array of bug fixes and accessibility options, you’ll find seven brand-spankin’ new vending machines that will open up some fun and interesting playstyles. The Inflationator, for example, is all about quantity over quality, offering an escalating bonus for every job taken in the run. The Large Loss Nullifier, on the other hand, is all about scoring that one big fuck-up, turning your biggest penalty on the invoice to a positive number. You meant to do that, right? Rigggghhht. In addition to these are five new Omen upgrades. Some are geared specifically to supporting the use of Vending Machines, others designed to soothe specific pains, like Fatal jobs (go on, have a go at repairing the Reactor, don’t be scared). You’ll also find a new ship type, and a jukebox in the Speakeasy,…

A massive thanks to all of you for your support and continued feedback: we're constantly reading and discussing what you guys have to say, and it's proved invaluable in shaping the updates over the past few days and the updates to come.

- Uncle Chop's Rocket Shop is released! - 5 December 2024
Hey there! Beard Envy here. Well, today’s the day. Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop has now been released and is available to exchange for a reasonable sum of currency, as is customary. It’s been a wild few years getting here and the fact that it’s out there in people’s hands now doesn’t feel quite real. In some ways, it’s felt like a private little fever dream, so the fact that you folks are sharing in it now is wonderful and strange and viscerally terrifying. Sincerely, we hope you like it. We’ve poured our hearts into this project, so more than anything we’d love to know that we brought you folks a neat experience. It’s all we’ve ever wanted for it. So, if you picked it up, just know that we’re grateful beyond words. A looming, cosmic kind of grateful. The kind that might send you mad if you made eye contact with it for too long. Hmm. Anyhow. I want to give a heartfelt shoutout to all the pe…
- This thing? Oh, it's just our launch trailer. - 5 December 2024
Always thinking outside of the box, we decided to make a special trailer to mark Rocket Shop's launch. It's like our previous trailers, but this time we forced a middle-aged guy we found on the internet to record himself drinking beer and saying profanities in a southern American accent (our thanks to the very talented Scott Fortney). Check it out.
