Rad Rocket

[b]60 minute review (in-depth review will follow after 10 hours)! [/b] This game! It's funny, it's frustrating but mostly it's frustratingly funny! [u]First experience:[/u] After 60 minutes all I can say is: "FFFFFFFFFFuuuuudge" since I dropped down again after a brutal climb where I eventualy panicked from making the right move/jump! And what do you get for it as a reward? A hat and a 300 meter drop back to the start. Silver lining: Atleast you will develop the needed skills for that first part pretty fast. [b]AND I LOVE IT![/b] [u]The game itself:[/u] In Rad Rocket you have to "climb" with nothing but your Rocket Jumping skills and you will be brutaly punished for making mistakes. There is no hand holding, no saving, no helping. It's just you, the jumping and your rising frustrations. [u]The real Silver Lining:[/u] But also, [i]and mostly[/i], the sense of acomplishment when reaching new heights, getting to learn the jumps needed for those parts, the sense of awe when faced with jumps that seem impossible to make. [u]The potential:[/u] This game has a ton of fun and brings back the good old "no-nonsense" platformer vibe. The potential is high, very high and I'm very curious what I will think and write after another 9 hours.

It's well made for what it is, and certainly fun to play. If you're into punishing platformers then you should definitely give this game a go!

An eleborate gist of a somewhat Newgrounds-ish game, fairly simple to pick up, but can take a while too master. The presentation is above avarage and no funny business going on with your FPS or anything. If you dont like overcomplex games with a steep-learning curve, or require more of that early 2000s NG simplicity. However mechanics feel a bit "floaty" at times these "floaty" elements are influential for finishing the game.

really enjoying this game 8/10 would play again

I decided to give this little gem a try and not disappointed! really enjoyed the challenge and felt I kept progressing. Don't overlook this one it's pretty sweet, rad rad rocket :)

Rocket jumping meets Getting Over It. Where you can make that clutch save and 3 seconds later mess up the next jump and plummet to a previous section. 10 outta 10, would accidentally replay all my progress again. Smiled the whole way down.

Digged the old school vibes, rocketing into space! Good music, punishing but rewarding gameplay. Give this a try if you like a challenge and a trip back to the retro games we all love.
