Rocket Boy 2D for iPhone Released

Rocket Boy 2D, a game from PowPowGames, in development since mid 2009, has been released yesterday. The game consists of an action side scroller with a RPG way to calculate stats and damage. Players can unlock over 70 items to equip, including 35 powerful weapons. The hero is a young man equipped with a jetpack, a handful of guns, and a Pod that casts powers such as meteor or lightning. Right from the start, there are 3 different worlds to explore, with each many different maps that display 5 layer parallax scrolling.

The enemies vary from aliens to super human soldiers to brain eating zombies. Each race has its weaknesses and strengths. Players can advance and level up in the different worlds at your own rhythm. As the player advances, there are more enemies and they are much stronger and tougher than earlier levels. To keep up, you have to upgrade your stats every time you level up. The player chooses which parts he wants to evolve in, making the game unique for each.

Control wise, Rocket Boy 2D brings a new, never seen before control method. The player moves very fluently from left to right using the accelerometer, and shoots where she or he points his fingers. The powers are called from simple buttons and the jetpack is activated with the thumb. Overall, it controls very fluently and is very fun to play.
