About the Game

Robots have invented rocket jumping and they need you to test it for them! Use your experimental rocket launcher and make your way up from their secret underground facility all the way up to the surface and beyond! Get ready for over 2500 meters of precision platforming, rocket explosions and smooth jazz. You will experience a whole lot of failing, falling and getting back up again through seven different zones in this punishing precision platformer.

No savescumming, no checkpoints... NO MERCY!
