9 itemsAbout the Game
Rocketboat - Pilot is an action/adventure platformer which features a unique graphic style that mixes classic minimalist pixel art with modern 3D rendering techniques. The short, roughly one hour long gaming experience tells a humorous story with memorable characters while giving nods to nostalgic gaming and sci-fi clichés, conspiracy culture, the Illuminati, and even the hacktivist group Anonymous. Tying it all together is an 8-bit retro soundtrack influenced by the band’s music.
