This edition contains DRM free Rochard v1.3 for Mac & Windows & Linux, Hard Times expansion, an awesome soundtrack (320kbps CBR and FLAC) and a Steam key! Service provided by Humble Store. Any future DLC packages will be included as well. By purchasing Rochard direct from the developer you support Recoil Games’ efforts to port Rochard to new platforms, as well as make DLC development possible.
You can also get Rochard from Steam, Mac App Store, Ubuntu Software Center, CDP.pl or Nuuvem.com.br. Distributor versions, prices, copy protection and extras may differ from the edition available on Humble Store. PS3 version is available only on the PSN store.

Win/Mac/Linux Games Sold Directly By Developers
“When selling directly, the developer has complete control not only over pricing, but over the pricing model itself. It allows us to do anything from a simple price reduction to wacky things like pay-what-you-want sales. When you buy directly from the developer, you also ensure that 100% of your money (minus transaction costs) goes towards supporting the developer.”
Your game is cheaper on Steam than in the developer page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
This is true. It would be unfair and short-sighted to directly compete on price with the distributors. Instead, we are offering a bit more value with DRM-free builds, at globally equal price. We provide links to the distributor pages, and you can choose between the lowest price vs. highest support for the developer.
will u guys put out some DLC or extra levels for rochard? i thought the ending was to much of a cliff hanger. and u could do so much more with it
We’ve been working on DLC containing some ultra-hard puzzles. Sequel is possible if we can find funding for it.
You guys should check Kickstarter.com if you run into funding troubles. I’ll be sure to help you out since I loved Rochard so much ! I think Iwont be alone
Kickstarter is not open for non-US companies, but I’m sure there are ways to arrange crowd funding scheme once the player base is large enough.
Try checking out IndieGoGo, maybe?
Yes, we will definitely consider IndieGoGo.
Nice game! I haven’t heard much of Rochard before, then I gave it a try and… Got amazed, awesome game! The kind of game that get me locked in a nice gameplay.
I would like to see it on other platform, Considering the small number of objetcs and the clean n light graphics, it could run well on PS Vita system. Have you considered this? At least a PSN (Vita) title will be nice.
I know this is on PS3 already but it could make use of some of Vita’s sensors, and portable gaming is fun, even more with a good game like rochard.
Thank you all. Skars.
The current version of the game uses deferred rendering, i.e., a bandwidth intensive rendering technique that enables complex lighting. We are converting the game to use forward rendering technique, which is much faster on some hardware. It would also enable multi-sampled anti-aliasing. We will definitely have a look at PS Vita once we have these technical issues solved.
If it get to a PS Vita box someday, i’ll manage to have an physical version to keep. Meanwhile I’m enjoying it on steam.
Hi, wonderfull game I would like to buy but I’m a poor person who don’t have credit card, paypal, google.
This kind o payment don’t exist in Uruguay.
Can tell me another method to buy the game like Wester Union ?
Thanks.
There are some South American banks supported on http://www.nuuvem.com.br/produto/846-rochard. We don’t handle any payments ourselves.
This game is incredible, I absolutely love it! The problem is, I purchased it through the HIB and now I would like to buy the soundtrack. (which is also amazing I might add) Is there any way I can buy the soundtrack without buying the whole game over again? Thanks!
Ignore my comment above ^^^ The indie bundle comes with the soundtrack!
I notice that the Linux version is now avalible on Ubuntu Software Centre.
It says “This edition will contain the Linux build when available”.
1 If I buy now, will I get the Linux version when available without having to pay extra/again or should I wait?
2 As it is avalible in the Ubuntu Software Centre when will it be avalible here?
Humble Store edition should contain the Linux build already — the text on the page must be changed.
Kudos to Recoil Games for making the game available in a multi-platform, and DRM-free manner. That’s the right way to go!
You might want to distribute the game through gog.com too. Retro and platform enthusiasts hang out over there. – just a suggestion.
Is Jon St. John’s voice acting in this supposed to be reminiscent of actor Sam Elliott? I almost thought it was him at first. “Sometimes you eat the bar and sometimes the bar eats you”
I had a look at some Sam Elliott clips on Youtube and I have to agree he has a great voice that’s quite similar to Rochard’s. I guess this is purely coincidental due to the southern accent.
great game, just completed it. really enjoyed. challenging without being too difficult. hope you guys can get a sequel out.
