Rocketcar Cup

The pitch

Rocketcar Cup is a fast-paced 2D arcade soccer game where rocket-powered cars battle for victory. Boost, jump, flip, and master aerial moves to score incredible goals in exciting one-on-one or team matches. Use skill, timing, and strategy to outplay your opponents, defend your goal, and become the ultimate champion. Easy to learn, challenging to master, and packed with non-stop action for players of all ages.

Controls & how it runs

Use the virtual joystick to drive your car. Press the blue button to activate Boost. Press the yellow button to perform a Hard Hit. Use W, A, S, and D to drive your car. Press Shift to use Boost. Press Q to perform a Hard Hit. Use the Arrow Keys to drive

Getting a run going takes exactly one press: Press start, up top, and the game boots inside this page — nothing downloads in the background and no form wants your details before the first jump. The cabinet is drawn for a landscape (wide) screen and listens to mouse, keyboard or touch, whichever the game prefers. This cabinet runs wide: landscape screens flatter it, so tip a phone on its side or hand it a tablet or desktop and let it stretch out. Given a fullscreen button, use it — scores look better at full size, that's just science.

Nothing whatsoever. Rocketcar Cup is an HTML5 game: hit the start button and it boots on this page, and shutting the tab sweeps the cabinet clean behind you.
