The Rocket Game Module is an early game Module that pre-dated the Arcade games by a significant time frame. The guest spends 5 Red LEGO Bricks to play a game. Owner gets 5 Transparent Bricks when this happens. Limit 25 Bricks per harvest.
The Rocket Game Blueprint can be "hatched" after 1000 clicks to an Alien Egg Module, the Blueprint for which can be bought at Grok's page. It takes 900 Transparent Bricks to make the game.

[edit] Game Play
The game consists of a spaceship which the player controls with the arrow keys. The spaceship constantly moves forward.
Along the game, the player will encounter two different types of obstacle. The first is a simple blockade that cannot harm the player unless the player collides with it. The second is an "alien" that, although similar to the first obstacle, can "shoot" at the player. If the player collides with or is shot at by an obstacle, then he/she will lose an amount of shield. If the player's shield reaches 0, the game is lost.
The player can also destroy obstacles by firing at them. The player only has a limited amount of ammunition, but destroying obstacles through this method gives the player points.
If the player can pass all the obstacles and make it to the landing area, the game is won and the guest receives a prize from Captain Lasse containing various Items, depending on the player's score. If the player manages to destroy all of the obstacles, then the player wins an Arcade Token.
[edit] Early Criticism
The game was criticized for its near impossible and unstable game play. The "aliens" came in very large groups, even at the beginning of the game. It was proven that even when you landed safely, you could still lose the game. Some people managed, even then, to beat the game back then after many tries. Even then, there was no reward for winning (although there was no fee, i.e. the five Red LEGO Bricks were not charged.)
As of today, the game is fixed. Game play is now easier and gives rewards to the player.
[edit] Themes
The owner of the Rocket Game Module can choose up to three game play themes.
- The first one is the most basic one, it features a red rocket, basic UFOs and purple meteors in a plain black background.
- The second one features a much better spaceship with more complicated graphics and better quality enemy ships. Features a Mars background. It is based on the LEGO Mars Mission theme.
- The third one is considered the oddest one. It features a spaceship that resembles a Star Wars Y-Wing, but the enemies are four-eyed Green LEGO Bricks, resembling Super-Earlings, which fire from their top of their heads. The meteors are brown-orange Bricks. The background seems to be Mars-themed again. The spaceship's long shape is sometimes considered a handicap.
[edit] Winning
If the guest manages to win the game, they get a message from Captain Lasse sending them prizes which contain Bricks. How many and what kind of Bricks depends on the gameplay theme.
If a player plays excellently, they win the Arcade Token. Once a player has acquired the Arcade Token, they will cease to receive any other prizes. It has not been confirmed exactly what actions trigger the Token, but the most likely condition is when the player destroys all of the obstacles or scores more than 250 points.
[edit] Cheat
- Spoiler warning: The following article or section contains information on a secret Networker or other hidden information.
There is a cheat in the Module that keeps the player from losing. The cheat is applied by first clicking anywhere on the Module that is not on the red button and typing in "iambuzz." The speech bubble should then display "Cheat mode is true." The player can then play the game normally, but the player does not lose when the remaining shield reaches 0. The player can then turn the cheat off by typing in "iambuzz" a second time.
