About Popcorn Rocket

✦ AI summary

Popcorn Rocket is a fast-paced top-down arcade space shooter where you blast through the evil Nebula Empire using an arsenal of creative popcorn-themed weapons like butter, caramel, and cheese that each behave differently. Chain together special popcorn combo attacks to defeat food-based enemies and bosses while grooving to retro 8-bit and orchestral soundtracks in this wacky, fully voiced adventure.

Old School Arcade Space Shooting Combat
Play it old school like being back in the arcade in a fluid top-down space shooter which feels as smooth as buttery popcorn! Have fun blasting away old school style as you jam out to some rockin' 8-bit, 16-bit, and orchestral tunes just like playing arcade games at the movie theater!

Unleash The Flavors of Your Popcorn Arsenal!
Blast away the evil Nebula Empire with a variety of popcorn weapons like butter, caramel, kettle, cheese, chocolate, and much more! Each popcorn weapon functions differently from rapid fire, spread, homing, lasers, and even nova bombs which will help turn the tides in your favor in your battle to save the galaxy!

Popcorn Combos!
Use the special kernel weapon in your popcorn arsenal and attach it to enemies to unleash the POPCORN COMBO system! Chain Popcorn Combos to get rid of multiple enemies efficiently and to rack up extra points, bonuses, and lives!

A Wacky Cast of Characters and Spaceships!Take control of Colonel Kernel and the Popcorn Rocket crew as you battle against the evil Nebula Empire ruled by the evil Dr. Nebula, Cholesterol Commander, General Gluten, Major Metabolism, and much more! Battle against ships based on the different food groups such as Pie Fighters, Blueberry Bombers, Pie Destroyers, Cupcake Crushers, and more! Fully voiced with silly food based jokes, puns, and dialogue put the cheese in cheesy which will provide a fun and comedic experience, making you want more popcorn!

Are You Up For the Challenge?
Popcorn Rocket is no simple bag of microwave popcorn as it's a shoot-em-up with a capital "S". Your spaceship piloting skills must be at their best to avoid the multitude of calories the Nebula Empire throws at you! Battle challenging food based enemies and bosses which will test your mettle and if you're not careful, the Nebula Empire will clog your arteries! This isn't a place for simple microwave popcorn, you gotta bring your full buttery movie popcorn to this show in order to survive!

A humorous plot and gags are hidden under a generic and oftentimes unfair shoot-em'up. The story is loaded with food puns and is really amusing. It involves an evil guy and his empire's desire to control space. However, a solitary ship and its squadron stand in their way. Best of all, everything comes with professional-sounding voiceovers. Despite the fact that the squad has four members, you only get to control one single ship. The gameplay is straightforward and adds nothing new. You have a basic attack, a secondary attack, and a bomb. I recommend that you enable rapid fire in the options because smashing the button for every single attack does not sound like fun. While the bomb is extremely rare and should only be used in extreme circumstances, the secondary attack can save your skin many times if used correctly. One drawback is that the ship's speed is very slow, which makes evading bullets difficult. The secondary attack launches a single kernel that sticks to an enemy but does not cause damage. The trick is to defeat this the same enemy, which sets off a chain reaction that destroys everything nearby. Kernels must be collected first from defeated adversaries, but they appe…

Pop-corny story, but difficult gameplay. If you're looking for a casual shoot-em-up, this is not it. I write this having just defeated the second boss. My only real complaint with this game is that you lose all the kernels and nova bombs you collect when you die. I look forward to completing the game and eventually writing a more complete review.
