Point boxes

Point Boxes are interactive objects introduced early in Rockitty.

Appearance
As the name suggests, point boxes are "box shaped" areas exposed within some areas of levels. Sometimes, they are seen on planets and in some cases, on lava. A number and colour printed on them tells players the number of points that can be scored.

Interaction
The points, as read on the point box, can be obtained if Rockitty rockets towards and successfully lands on one. When this happens, he will bounce off it and continue travelling until he reaches pink goo. As this happens, the colour of the point box will darken slightly, indicating that the points has already been hit and cannot be used again. When the level is complete or the player loses the level, the points from all point boxes Rockitty hits will be added to the player's score.

Point Balls
In level 13, point boxes take the shape of balls, which, like planets, can freely float in the area they are in until they hit a force field. The points will be awarded to the player if they hit the point ball once.

After the points are granted, the player can use the point balls to help move the explosives in the level, without having Rockitty blast into them, causing him to lose a life.
