Players like myself will still have to point the sticks in opposite directions, but it gives us a couple milliseconds of mental prep when aiming before firing.Ībove: There’s a Scanners joke begging to be madeĭeveloper: Crooked Tree Studios Publisher: Crooked Tree Studios My advice is to add an alternate control scheme where firing a rocket is bound to a trigger or bumper. At its worst it felt like my brain was being pulled in half. This means in order to rocket jump in a specific direction, the left stick must be pointing in the direction you want to go, and the right stick must be flicked the opposite direction (since you want a rocket to explode behind you, to push you forward).
The left thumb stick manipulates which direction the robot will go in, where flicking the right thumb stick fires a rocket. Out of all the games on this list, at times Tinertia had me wanting to throw the controller through a wall.
I love Tinertia’s concept of taking what was originally an unintentioned feature of one genre and make it the focus of another game’s design.Ĭurrently, however, the idea isn’t perfect. The explosion releases splash damage, which allows the player to ride a wave of inertia, adding height to the jump.
Rocket jumping is a technique players developed in arena style first-person shooters, Quake specifically, where a player fires an explosive projectile towards the ground just after the first few frames of performing a jump. In order to move from ledge to ledge, the character has to rocket jump across obstacles. Tinertia is a side-scrolling platformer where you play as a robot who can’t jump by normal means.

Platform: PC (Steam) - Available now through Early Access It’s clever as hell.Ībove: Not everything can be solved with rocket jumping, young man.ĭeveloper: Candescent Games Publisher: Candescent Games Gambrinous has hit this play psychology middle-ground, where you are given all the devious tools to create a sick maze of death, yet you want to craft the environment only deadly enough so the hero faces obstacles at a good pace. Depending on the type of character you’re leveling up, these cards contain abilities tied to either melee or magic. The second set of cards is for when the hero engages in battle with a creature. Since you can’t control which direction the hero will go, you can entice them down a certain path by laying down loot. During this phase you want to intelligently lay out rooms and fill them with monsters that the hero can take on in order to level up. These cards are related to monsters, gold coins, and rooms to build. The player is given two hands to play, one is geared towards construction. Guild of Dungeoneering starts off with two rooms on a grid, a boss monster at one far end, and the entrance to the dungeon on the other side. Irish developer Gambrinous is creating a card game roguelike around this pastime, where you not only get to play as a dungeon master but also as the hero traversing the catacombs. Scribbling out death traps and monster pits on graph paper, rather than doing math homework, is something every kid that grew up to be a game developer can relate to.
