There's a quiet relaxation to Rochard, both in the game and the character. Everything seems to be put together in a very well thought-out fashion that sometimes gets missed in these smaller indie titles but I'm getting a bit ahead of myself. It's not often that you find space mining at the center of a game, let alone one of the miners as your protagonist. Physics-based puzzle games seem to be a lot of the rage these days on certain platforms but rarely has a game used gravity as its main inspiration. Rochard is a game that combines both, often times in fantastic fashion.
