"While iOS has a lot of really fun smaller-scale games in this genre, Rex Rocket is a rare example of a huge, fully-formed action-adventure game that doesn't make any compromises in its design. It's long, packed with secrets, and has plenty of optional challenges to keep you busy for quite a while." - Shaun Musgrave ABOUT Rex Rocket is a 2D platformer that has old-school and younger gamers alike praising its challenging gameplay, gorgeous pixel environments, and awesome power-ups. Toss in a catchy chiptunes soundtrack with some quirky dialogue (warning: random references aplenty!) and you've got yourself one of the most memorable retro-inspired indie games! STORY Be a space hero as either Captain Rexford or Rexanna! Your scientific transport mission takes a turn for the worse when the ship's AI goes rogue and releases all the deadly bio-engineered specimens. With the help of close friends, hidden power-ups, and powerful weapons, you must blast your way through a host of aliens and machines to take back control of the S.S. Montana before it's too late! FEATURES Gorgeous pixel art graphics with over 100 hand-crafted ship rooms! One of the catchiest retro soundtracks by Saskrotch! Collect tons of new weapons, upgrades, info nodes, and more! Filled with difficult bosses and platforming sections!

I was waiting for you to make a thread but didn't see one, so I posted it. For some reason the AppStore is giving me a link that won't work with the info=all coding. Edit: and I can't get Google to throw me the right link either, so I guess I wait. Oh and 688MB installed file size. Luciano1084 Well-Known Member May 8, 2014 1,515 0 36 #4 Luciano1084, Apr 18, 2015 Yeah I've tried posting before and always have issues.. So happy this is out.. I really hope this sells well ojtitus Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2010 3,228 5 38 Male Canton, Ohio #5 ojtitus, Apr 18, 2015 If you are on a computer and can post a native AppStore link, I can put in the coding. Apparently since I recently updated to iOS 8.2 in prep for the next Rodeo Games Warhammer game, the AppStore no longer gives me an link but it gives that little bit of info on my first post with the link. Yeah, I hope it sells well but being iPad only is really going to limit the user base but I can see why they made that choice with the amount of screen taken up by controls. Luciano1084 Well-Known Member May 8, 2014 1,515 0 36 #6 Luciano1084, Apr 18, 2015 Right, same here.. Yeah I haven't owned a computer in 3 years (since I started using an iPad).. Buying a Mac in a few months or I might just wait a bit and buy a steam machine ###.. So have you played yet? I'm about to get home and download this bad boy sugimulm Well-Known Member Aug 28, 2010 2,457 46 48 The last time zone for iOS game releases :( #7 sugimulm, Apr 18, 2015 Last edited: Apr 18, 2015 Holy Crap, looks friggin mean! Good find guys! There is a vid on the App Store, crazy good and can see why the file size is large, looks like 60 fps gameplay! Buying now! Edit: search Rex Rocket: Mobile. Sorry would post a link but on my iPad. Also, iOS 5.1 requirement, and yes iPad only ojtitus Well-Known Member Jul 7, 2010 3,228 5 38 Male Canton, Ohio #8 ojtitus, Apr 18, 2015 Yeah, I fired it up for a minute to run through the intro and it's going to be a fun fight to survive. psj3809 Moderator Jan 13, 2011 12,971 722 113 England #9 psj3809, Apr 18, 2015 Last edited: Apr 18, 2015 Ipad only ? Damn. That's pretty rare for a retro style platformer. I'll wait. Hopefully itll go universal Must have missed that post saying its ipad only ! Strange decision for a platformer to be ipad only though. Loading out on lots of potential customers coolpepper43 ð® Spam Police ð Aug 31, 2012 4,615 7 38 On the toilet #10 coolpepper43, Apr 18, 2015 I'm having a complete blast with Rex Rocket.Its finally here!!!! I'm about 40 minutes into it and the controls seem pretty good. This is a complete must buy for any platformer fan. This is a pretty hardcore metroidvenia megaman-like game. Somehow I predict Carter will review it and give it only 3.5 stars. lol ramzarules Well-Known Member Sep 13, 2014 2,112 128 63 Greece #11 ramzarules, Apr 18, 2015 Bought! I will suck at this game, it seems too hard but i'm always up for a good metroidvania with upgrades! And the evil laugh at the end of the Appstore vid.. I think Rex Rocket is made with love, so instabought! Now let's see if i survive.. mr_bez Well-Known Member Dec 20, 2012 2,053 3 38 #12 mr_bez, Apr 18, 2015 Here's the URL you should put in the appinfo. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/rex-rocket-mobile/id837986140?mt=8 Luciano1084 Well-Known Member May 8, 2014 1,515 0 36 #13 Luciano1084, Apr 18, 2015 Last edited: Apr 20, 2015 This game is ridicolously hard but AWESOME.. Controls could be tricky, especially boosting your jump by shooting down. Once you get the hang of them it's a blast.. What a beautiful looking platformer.. Soundtrack kicks ass as well.. A lot of buttons which is why it'll be hard on a smaller screen.. I really hope Robbie figures out a way to make it universal. Can't suggest this enough if your into platformers and obviously, own an iPad.. ### fatkit Well-Known Member Mar 10, 2013 90 0 6 #14 fatkit, Apr 18, 2015 Yes please make it universal I wanna play on my iphone too sapphire_neo Well-Known Member Jan 20, 2011 3,934 0 0 #15 sapphire_neo, Apr 18, 2015 Holy shit, that trailer! This recent quarter has been a glut of amazing iOS releases, I would even say going as far back as early Christmas/Thanksgiving.
