Rocket Riot is immensely charming with some light-hearted gameplay behind it that makes for some exciting multiplayer battles.

Blast off and launch a ton of rockets in this charming pixel-style, "retrofaux" Xbox Live Arcade game from Codeglue.

 Rocket Riot, made by Dutch developer Codeglue, a is an XBLA title long in development. The game consists of a single player campaign, an endurance mode, several multiplayer modes and a ton of unlockable characters.

Story

The story revolves around a world where a pirate, named Blockbeard, has stolen everyone's legs since he lost his. An unnamed scientist then makes an invention where you can have a rocket screw up your butt. This enables you to fly, which is your source of transportation in Rocket Riot. You then go forward and fight through 80 levels in your pursuit of Blockbeard, until the final showdown. The story is told through mini cut scenes at the end of each of the 10 level sections.



Gameplay

The game is played  using the two analog sticks, one for movement, the other for shooting and aiming (Point at the direction you wish to shoot, and let go of the analog stick to shoot). The rockets then travel by arches, using the laws of gravity and inertia to dictate their paths. This ensures you to think, before you shoot. Then the player may pick up power blocks, which can help him defensively, offensively, or may even give him a disadvantage. The maps are pixelated and highly destructible. The environment will, however, regenerate over time. Instead of pixels, the players are made of polygons.

The main campaign consists of 8 10 level chunks, each with a main theme. For example; there is a military themed stage, and a haunted house themed stage (perhaps in reference to Castlevania). A lot of  levels consist of your standard deathmatch, but can also have different modes. There's modes where you have to find a person in the environment; a mode where you capture a football and throw it over a goal post; and levels where you have to destroy a specific objects. As the end of the game approaches you get a bit more variety ( the game will put you in a maze for example).

There are 80 different characters in the game, all of which are unlocked by killing them in any of the game modes. The characters range from zombies, soldiers, pirates, and even ice cream cones.

Multiplayer


Multiple players?!

The multiplayer consists of many of the modes you can play in the campaign. With team deathmatch, destroy the object, rugby riot, and, finally, golden guy. Golden guy is very similar to juggernaut, in which one person tries to obtain the golden suit. After obtaining said suit they fly around, disarmed, trying to remain alive as long as possible. If shot, he will lose the golden suit.
