Rocket Jump

Rocket Jump is a bloody tough nut to crack. If you're a fan of simple but tough to beat games, and can afford to replace a few thrown controllers, try your luck with it. Apparently it can be beaten in half an hour but I spent more than an hour on the first level. Rocket Jump's a fantastic game for masochists. Mechanics are simple but the game requires absolute precision and is very unforgiving of even small mistakes. If you like a challenge, give it a go.

- Very rigid controls - No checkpoints - You fall back into the very start of the game repeatedly This game could be fun but chose not to. I can't quite figure out how to jump over the first spikes with these awful controls, and every time I don't make the jump I fall straight to the beginning losing all progress and having to climb back up for a few minutes. Screw that.

I am terrible at this game, but I can't really blame the game for that. This is one of those super difficult platformers where you propel yourself by shooting your little canon in various directions to give yourself the thrust you need to get up the platforms. It's definitely tough and not for the faint of heart, but it is well-designed and allegedly fun. I will say, I felt like the 2 chord piano soundtrack was mocking me after a while.

Fun mechanic, but the game gets really boring after an hour or two. Definitely worth 0,39 euros though.
