Our take on Rocket Rumble
Its defining structure is a race where checkpoint progress and damage to rivals both generate points, making the finish line only one part of the scoring system.
What is Rocket Rumble?
Rocket Rumble is a racing brawler for up to four players, combining track racing with attacks against rival racers.
Points come from passing checkpoints and damaging opponents, so finishing first is not the only route to victory. Tracks use procedurally generated obstacles, with item drops, boosters, ramps, and hazards changing each race. Racers respawn at checkpoints after falling from the course. Matches support local play on one screen and online play, with keyboard or controller controls and multiple gameplay modes. The game includes science-fiction themed levels, such as areas featuring robots, asteroids, and space pirates. Customization includes hats, glasses, badges, and suit patterns whose colors and sizes can be changed.
