Rocket Run
A downloadable game
Rocket Run is a 3D platformer where you use a Rocket launcher to blast yourself through levels.
Levels become progressively more difficult as you dash, slide, wallrun and rocket jump through them.
Game is now fully released! Updates may come if any major game-breaking bugs or glitches are found.
Speedrun leaderboard! https://www.speedrun.com/rocketrun
UPDATE: If you experience the following bugs: Not being able to move mouse and / or Continuously walking backwards off the platforms.
FIX: Go to options, select ANY% to ON and restart your game, I would release a patch but I'm writing university exams right now. Thank you.

potentially a good game but it very lacks controls - FOV and sensetivity. its very needed to be playable comfortably for everyone as its skill game.
i also i suggest to add:
- checkpoints
- doublejump (maybe add a shotgun in other hand that just dashes u in opposite direction of fire, once betwen jumps)
- imo pressing two buttons to rocketjump is overcomplication. maybe just increase explosion push. and leave this 2-button techtique just to be
Hello. First of all, this seems like a great game, however, I can't move my camera. It's just static and looking forward. I though this was a feature until I watched your speedrun where you are able to turn around etc. What am I doing wrong? Moving my mouse doesn't do anything, so I don't really know how I can turn around, which makes playing the game impossible as I need to look down in the first level to shoot myself up.
Hey thanks for the comment,
I'm sorry you're having this issue, have you tried reinstalling the game? That really shouldn't happen.
Also, did the camera not move at all? Even when you first loaded into the tutorial?
Thanks :)
Hey.
I reinstalled the game and unfortunately I still have the same issue.
When I load the tutorial, the camera just looks forward and there is no way for me to look to the left/right or up/down, no matter how much I move my mouse.
Okay, it might be an issue with the latest patch, if that's the case:
try go into options and select the Any % option.
Please let me know if that works so I know what to fix. Thank you!
Thank you!
When I selected the Any% option, it worked!
Hard but a lot of fun
Fun game but really hard. Level 1 and 5 are my favourite because you can maintain SPEEEEEEEED
cant even hold a against the wall. Dude barely slides and just falls straight off. Uninstalled lmao
Hey!
I'm really sorry you struggled with the game. Hopefully I can explain the mechanic and make it a bit clearer.
For the wall run: It's definitely possible, make sure you are hitting the wall just before the peak of your jump, and hold into the wall. You will know you are actually wall running if your camera tilts.
Also, if you are finding yourself always falling off, you can hold space after your jump to launch yourself up the wall.
I have a video of me speedrunning the game here, check it out for any section you are stuck on.
Thanks :D
It works fine for me?
Get good lmao
