About the game

Fly the Pebble Pup through a belt of tumbling space rocks. Zap a big rock and it breaks into smaller, faster, more valuable ones. Scoop the sparkles, clear the patrol, chase your best.

Pebble Patrol is a bright, friendly take on the classic rock-blasting arcade game, rebuilt in full 3D for in-flight entertainment.

You pilot the Pebble Pup: turn, thrust and zap your way through a wrap-around field of crystal-studded asteroids. Every large rock you hit splits into two medium ones, and every medium into two small ones — and the smaller they get, the more they are worth. Clear the whole field and the next patrol begins with one more rock than the last.

Break rocks quickly and a chain bonus builds. Sparkles drift out of every rock you crack, and gift pods drop a Bubble Shield, a Triple Zap or a Star Magnet. Prefer the purist version? Patrol Setup has a Classic run switch that turns all of it off and plays the straight, original scoring instead.

Three ships per run, a Blink jump to get out of trouble, eleven languages, full gamepad support, and it runs entirely offline from a single file.

How to play

  1. Big rocks break into smaller ones.
