Hello Rocket Maniacs!
We have worked around the clock, grinding through sweat, blood and tears. Drinking rocket fuel instead of coffee to deliver this insanely packed update!
- OPEN WORLD - FLYING - POWER-SLIDE - TOKENS - NEW SOUNDTRACK - NEW SOUNDS - FULL CONTROLLER SUPPORT - OVERALL IMPROVEMENTS
The biggest part of this update is the Rocket Island HUB. What is the Rocket Island? Its like a tropical zen garden where you plant your seed of skill and water it with rocket fuel. Enjoy chilled out onboarding through immersive training sequence, explore the islands, collect tokens, solve puzzles and uncover secrets and hidden bonus levels.

Yes! You can now fly! And man is it fun. We have re-designed a few older levels to accomodate this new mechanic and we as well as our Discord beta besters think its a lot of fun, don't take my word for it, go check it out yourself.
Another huge improvement of the "fun-factor" was adding a power-slide. With a simple press of a button you dash forward with 50% charge getting you that sweet feeling of instant momentum. Something in your way? No worries, during power-slide you are in "crush-mode" and you can easily handle slamming through a few boxes. Couple it with 2 perfect jumps and you are reaching the top speeds!
With the recent update and boost of the project identity we were also fortunate enough to start working with Simone Cicconi who composed a new set of tracks for our project. We love them and Im very confident you will love them too! Original tracks by Vaclav Travnicek will be still part of the game in other hubs / specific levels.
With the soundtrack we though it would be cool to also update some of the old sounds and boy did we nail it with the boostpads. Check level "Rush" or "Heat" to zip around like a super rocket ;)
Well and finally we made all necessary tweaks to claim the "Full controller support". It is definitely a different kind of experience when you want to take it easy and sit back, relax in your sofa and boot up RBM on a huge screen with a gamepad in your hands. We also toned down the default aerial control to make sure the controls feel alright.
If you have played this game before you will see A TON of other smaller or bigger improvements anywhere you look. From the re-design, improved performance, tweaked animations all the way to changes in UI and menu layout.
Don't forget to send your screenshots to #hall-of-fame and MAKE SURE TO POST VIDEOS!!
