Obviously rockets. Duh…

Though I'm not sure if they are all going the right way…
They were all fired different directions for the sake of not having to aim. It's an easier solution to not aim. It is the easiest solution.

EDIT: Aww, you changed the title and description. :unsure:/>

Sorry for the unexplained post…

Its just how to rotated rockets are 'rendered';

For the sake of simplicity I chose this method, but I don't know if I like the result.

This would probably be better as a post in Media or attached to whatever "engine" it's in.

It is not written in any engine, this is just a concept of a new game I want to make.

I made a little test with 'real' rotation and not shearing, and it looks not very good…

You could make a pretty good asteroid clone with this
