Halfbrick Rocket Racing (2009)

Released under the casual "Halfbrick Fridays" lineup, Rocket Racing is a simple futuristic racing game where you control rocket ships in a 2D arena. Created as a simple to play, hard to master game with three controls: turn right, turn left, and go forward. Depth comes with the unique way in which your acceleration is controlled by pushing off walls, known ingame as a "Grind". Combine your grind with special boost panels and plan your trips around or through the disruptive cutout zones placed around most levels to aim for record times. Dynamic situations are made with the many courses available across the game's 6-tier campaign mode. In it, you'll be tasked to fulfill several conditions to proceed, each ending with a multi-race Grand Prix.
