- It's officially game over for Rochard with studio Recoil Games shutting - 19 February 2021
Recoil Games appear to have filed for bankruptcy a while ago and sadly a casualty of that is their game Rochard, which has now been removed for sale. Read the full article here: https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2021/02/its-officially-game-over-for-rochard-with-studio-recoil-games-shutting
- Game Over - 17 February 2021
Dear Rochard customers, Recoil Games has applied for bankruptcy quite a while ago. We've been trying hard to find a new home for the game. Unfortunately there were no offers that would have enabled the bankruptcy estate to close the deal. The bankruptcy estate will soon be closed and the publishing agreement with Steam will be terminated. This means Rochard can no longer be purchased on Steam. However, the game will remain available in your Steam libraries as is. Thank you for your understanding.

- The Latest Humble Bundle Keeps On Getting Bigger - 25 September 2012
Just because there've been a lot of humble indie bundles over the last few years doesn't mean they're any less of a good deal. The latest humble bundle offers a crapload of good games, all for whatever price you want to pay. For as little as you want, you'll get EFF , (Wait, that's not a game! That's the very cool Electronic Frontier Foundation ), Vessel , the first Torchlight (hard to play that now that the sequel's out, but hey, it's cheap), S.P.A.Z. , Shatter and Rochard , a game I've always wanted to play but never had a chance. Throw down anything above the average price (currently $5.84) and you'll also get Dustforce , Bit.Trip Runner , Gratuitous Space Battles , Jamestown and Wizorb . That sure is a lot of video game for six bucks. Humble Indie Bundle 6
- Humble Rumbles Anew: PWYW Torchlight, Vessel, SPAZ - 18 September 2012
Somehow bearing the numeral ’6′ after it, despite there having been at least 40,000 Humble Bundles by this point, the latest in the wildly successful series of pay-what-you-want indie grab-bags is go right now. Torchlight is the headliner, which is some funny timin’ what with the sequel being pretty darn close now, and it has sterling support from Rochard , Space Pirates And Zombies (aka SPAZ), Vessel and Shatter. Pay more than the average – which currently sits at around $5 – and you’ll get Dustforce too. (more…)

- Wot I Think: Rochard - 23 March 2012
We somehow overlooked Recoil Games’ charming gravity-troubling puzzle-platformer Rochard when it boinged onto Steam last November, but a few recommendations belatedly made their way to my curious ear recently. So I looked it up, and in turn I had a good time. Here’s why. (more…)
