***Rock of Ages III: Make & Break*** is the third installment of *Rock of Ages*. Although it was announced to be released on June 2, 2020; it was later delayed to July 21, 2020 for different platforms.

## Features

The new protagonist is Odysseus, who sails with his courageous men who are also incredibly hungry. They find the Cyclops-island and a cave from which derives a delicious smell. They follow the trail and enter the cave, which is half covered by the Boulder from previous games. While the men eat, the Cyclops Polyphemus appears with his sheep and isn't amused. Like in Homer's Epic, the Cyclops starts to devour Odysseus' men and closes the cave entrance with the boulder. The men are now caught inside the cave with the sheep and the Cyclops, but Polyphemus lays down soon for a nap. The men discuss how they could break free and the first game begins! This starts the Tutorial for the Boulder-Mode.

Odysseus and the men construct a ball from the sheep and roll it down to push away the Boulder. The Cyclops is blinded with his club and Odysseus and the men cling on to the belly fur of the sheep and flee the island.

Polyphemus starts to throw rocks after the ship and finally lifts the Boulder which then smashes Odysseus. The men are thrown back on the island and the new protagonist is Elpenor. This starts the Tutorial for the Build-Mode and the Tower Defense game.

## Controls

### Standard Keyboard controls

* W-A-S-D - to go back and forth and left and right.

Alternative, players can use the **Arrow keys** for movement and **P** to Pause.

**Boulder-Mode:**

Use **Space Bar** to jump and **M** to toggle mirror

**Build-Mode:**

* Turn units with **Q** and **E**
* Sell units: **B**
* Start Boulder: **C**

**Note:** Players can change those settings.

### Gamepad controls

Both ways of control need a little practice since the Boulder also sometimes is a little unpredictable. Control also depends on the kind of Boulder used - there is the standard rock type which can roll pretty fast and break out easily from the course or the bouncy ball, which sometimes just bounces back or jumps too far. Depending on which course is played, the players will encounter all kinds of different obstacles.
