Forget traditional soccer games with 22 players running on the grass. Rocket League isn't for the average person. Gasoline, steel, and gravity-defying aerials meet here. You're driving a rocket-powered racing automobile while playing soccer. The stadium becomes an artful, chaotic, high-speed checkerboard.
Don't let speed scare you. Follow this path to master the arena.
Before thinking about flying, learn how to drive.
Accelerate & Boost: Your car has a limited amount of Boost. Collect the gold energy pellets on the field to fill your tank. Don't waste it!
Flip: Press the jump button twice in combination with the direction of movement. This is the fastest way to accelerate without using Boost.
Power Slide: Use this for a super-fast U-turn. A perfectly executed U-turn can save a game.
This is where the magic takes place.
To take off, jump up, tilt your car's nose up, and press the Boost button. You'll be very fast.
Hitting the ball in midair is the goal. This requires precise timing.
Demolition: Hit an opponent at full speed, and their car explodes. Brutal yet effective goalkeeper elimination.
Rocket League's esports fame is no accident. A strange but wonderful mix of:
Soccer: Simple rules, score in the opponent's net.
Racing: Fast, tire-burning maneuvers and spectacular crashes.
Flying Physics: This is the unique aspect. Your car can fly. That's right, fly, spin, and slam the ball down from above like a powerful dunk.
Popular Slope-themed Games: Slope Plus.
