Do You Need an Account or Subscription to Play Rockbasher?

Updated

No subscription is required to start playing Rockbasher. You can open the game in a browser and play the demo levels for free, with no installation and no advertising. A free account is only needed if you want to play all levels and keep your progress. The site's own wording is that you should "sign up to play all levels," and signing up is described as free.

What you can do without signing up

  • Play the demo levels in Easy or Normal mode.
  • Try the game immediately in a browser; the site recommends Chrome for best results.
  • Play without installing anything.

The site describes the game as "totally free and without any advertising," but it also separates demo play from full access. So the accurate reading is: free to try, free account for the full set of levels.

What a free account adds

According to the site, signing up for free lets you:

  • Get more levels to play.
  • Keep your scores "everywhere," i.e., across devices.
  • Save your progression.
  • Edit your own levels and play many more free maps.

There is a "Sign up" link on the site, and a separate Login option for returning players. The page does not state any price for the account, and no payment platforms are listed, so there is no evidence of a paid tier being required.

What kind of game you are signing up for

Rockbasher is a puzzle-action game. You control a small dragon-worm digging through a cave maze, collecting diamonds, gold, or tomatoes to score points and reach the exit. You use grenades, bombs, keys, and other items, and you can drop stones on the creatures chasing you. The site says it suits both children and adults, with hundreds of levels and an editor for building your own.

Two practical notes from the site: the last update listed is 13 June 2018, and mobile support is described as minimal for now, so a desktop browser is the safer choice.

Bottom line

Start playing for free right away on the demo levels. If you want the full level set and saved progress, create the free account — there is no indication you need to pay or subscribe.
