ROCKET JOCKEY

ROCKET JOCKEY takes 2D platforming to new heights, challenging you to navigate increasingly tough levels using your trusty rocket launcher. And by tough, I mean seriously tough. Brace yourself!

Dive headfirst into the mesmerizing realm of Archon as you steer Sergeant Pepper through a barrage of challenges. Conquer the ominous Forest of Doom, traverse the ever-shifting sands of Kharé Underbelly, brave the frostbitten Kestrel Mountains, and delve deep into the Grave of Sinners. Your ultimate goal? Scale the towering Xarmoc Spire and find your way back home from this pixelated deathtrap.

To triumph over these trials, you'll need to master the art of rocket jumping. But here's the catch: rockets won't harm Archon's deadly denizens, so your best strategy is to dodge them like a pro. 

• Rocket Jumping: The core movement method and namesake of the game, rocket jumping is a skill that will take time and patience to master. Taking inspiration from the likes of QUAKE and Team Fortress 2, rocket jumping has never looked so good in it's new 2D world.

• Challenging 2D Platforming: Not for the faint of heart, ROCKET JOCKEY offers some of the most difficult platforming levels ever conceived. Unforgiving and down right sadistic at points, you'll be pulling your hair out every time you look at your death counter. While at first intensely frustrating, the challenge can be overcome with mastery of the rocket jumping system. Good luck.

• 12 Unique and Varied Levels: The challenge spans across 5 distinct and strikingly themed worlds, adding up to a total of 12 fully unique and keyboard-smashing levels. From the snowy peaks of the Kestrel Mountains to the dry dunes of the Kharé Underbelly you'll never experience the same moment twice. Apart from dying, you experience that many times no matter the level.

• Vast Range of Enemies and Obstacles: From "harmless" mountain bunnies to lumbering skeleton giants, each world offers a new challenge for you to master with it's own entirely unique gameplay mechanic. A large assortment of interactive obstacles are also sprinkled throughout the levels including jump pads, spike pits, cannons and patented Armadura Dynamics Arc Energy Casters.

• Collectables: Each level has three hidden Medals of Honour which can be found and collected with skill and dexterity. Only a true ROCKET JOCKEY can obtain them all!
