Gameplay
The second sequel of Rubble Trouble plays the same as the previous games, and the player has some tools with varying ammo and has to use the tools to destroy abandoned buildings. Money is earned for every brick destroyed. Destroying nearby civilian buildings causes loss of money, and usually will result in loss of the level. Each level has a set amount of money the player has to earn, in early levels being less than the amount of money the player can gain on the level. Running out of tools to use or not being able to meet the set amount of money causes a game over screen to come up, and the player must restart the level.

Levels
Rubble Trouble Moscow has thirty levels, twenty of which take place on Earth in Moscow, and ten in space, presumably on a Russian Space Station, or an International Space Station, such as the ISS.

Level one Glitch
Sometimes if the player starts level one, and hasn't played it yet, they will come to the background of the game with a box reading "Press Space Bar to deselect tools", and "Skip" at the bottom of the level. The player is unable to play the game at this point, and has to refresh the page.

Same level/next level glitch
If the player completes level three, progressing to level four will bring the player to level four, except sometimes level four is an exact copy of level three.

December 16th, 2011
The name of the "second winter game" Nitrome mentioned in previous posts was revealed to be a Rubble Trouble game. The game is said to be released next week (between December 18th and 24th).

Trivia

 * Many fans guessed that the game would take place in Moscow, Russia, as seen by the buildings in the background. Some other guesses were Taj Mahal and Middle East, due to the building shape.
 * This is Nitrome's second game to have two sequels. The first was Ice Breaker, which is going to have four after the release of Ice Breaker: A Viking Voyage.
 * The game also seems to have a lot of influence toward Tetris, for through levels one through nineteen, sometimes the music will have bits of what sounds like the Tetris theme song. Also, the player plays "Nitrometris" in level twenty, and the music is very Tetris style in levels 21-30. Also, constellations can be seen every once in a while that look like the Tetris blocks. This is most likely because Tetris was originally invented in Russia.
