And we’re not stopping here. As long as there’s a community that enjoys this game, we’ll keep building.
The main item on our "Early Access list of promises" is now ready for testing. You can browse the library of models, place them in the scene, move and rotate them around to create your own maps! 
The community creations menu allows you to conveniently browse and play maps created by other players. It also allows you to easily find the "latest" uploaded creations or the "recommended" ones that we'd like to highlight.
Special thanks to the few early creators from Discord that helped us iron out the initial bugs by submitting their awesome maps! 🙏
We added a few camera effects and new HUD to increase the sensation of going fast. As you build up speed the FOV increases, the edges of your screen become blurry and speed lines begin rendering around your character. The new HUD displays the amount of boost and nitro you currently have and also has a decent flame VFX to support the feeling of "being on fire"
We added a dedicated starting hub called "Training" with a couple of levels that teach new players the basics. We also implemented a new system for input which automatically detects whether you are playing on keyboard and mouse or controller and displays appropriate hints for controls mapping.
As we are nearing the release of the game we started considering other aspects, such as the lore. You can now find RocketEx containers scattered around the hubs and tracks. You will soon learn more about this company, what it does and what it stands for.
Hello Rocket Maniacs!
The biggest part of this update is the Rocket Island HUB. What is the Rocket Island? Its like a tropical zen garden where you plant your seed of skill and water it with rocket fuel. Enjoy chilled out onboarding through immersive training sequence, explore the islands, collect tokens, solve puzzles and uncover secrets and hidden bonus levels.
Yes! You can now fly! And man is it fun. We have re-designed a few older levels to accomodate this new mechanic and we as well as our Discord beta besters think its a lot of fun, don't take my word for it, go check it out yourself.
Another huge improvement of the "fun-factor" was adding a power-slide. With a simple press of a button you dash forward with 50% charge getting you that sweet feeling of instant momentum. Something in your way? No worries, during power-slide you are in "crush-mode" and you can easily handle slamming through a few boxes. Couple it with 2 perfect jumps and you are reaching the top speeds!
With the recent update and boost of the project identity we were also fortunate enough to start working with Simone Cicconi who composed a new set of tracks for our project. We love them and Im very confident you will love them too! Original tracks by Vaclav Travnicek will be still part of the game in other hubs / specific levels.
With the soundtrack we though it would be cool to also update some of the old sounds and boy did we nail it with the boostpads. Check level "Rush" or "Heat" to zip around like a super rocket ;)
Well and finally we made all necessary tweaks to claim the "Full controller support". It is definitely a different kind of experience when you want to take it easy and sit back, relax in your sofa and boot up RBM on a huge screen with a gamepad in your hands. We also toned down the default aerial control to make sure the controls feel alright.
If you have played this game before you will see A TON of other smaller or bigger improvements anywhere you look. From the re-design, improved performance, tweaked animations all the way to changes in UI and menu layout.
Hello Rocket Maniacs!
Oh man, re-designing the environments is so much fun because it instantly improves the game feel and this is perhaps my most favorite redesign yet. We are trying to make the environments easily distinguishible and want you to feel not only the visual difference but also the gameplay difference. Mountains now feature the snow canons which lower your visibility and also utilize the new modular tracks system as well as hanging physical platforms. You can find mountains in its own section in the campagin menu.
The first map is called Downhill and is a little bit of twist on the whole game, a kind of experiment to be honest. In most arenas you are trying to get up and in this one, you go down instead, we are curious about your feedback. Stay safe and enjoy the huge cuts :)
The second map - Ice Tower is packed with action, a lot of small platforms hanging from the construction, some possibilities for cutting have already been exposed by the elite beta testing team and we expect more to come as you dive into it.
Basically since the beginning of this whole project we are trying to figure out what is the best solution for the checkpoints, should they be mandatory or voluntary? Obviously we dont want to force people to follow certain path but cutting can turn into reducing the playtime drastically, one of the changes in this build is a new checkpoint prefab with minimal "footprint" which can be placed almost anywhere and is only used as "safe-point" for casual people. On this map it works great because it is so vertical, but wouldnt work on Downhill at all. Let us know what you think
For quite some time we are moving towards the velocity driven movement system and we constantly try to improve the game feel, braking is a relatively new feature and we are still figuring out where exactly this fits in the game. With the latest update if you press back during jump the player will no longer accelerate backward, it will come to a stop until you land. Especially useful for low-end to mid-end players on small platforms (must have on Ice Tower).
Merry Xmas Rocket Maniacs!
If you are on our Discord you know how excited I am about acrobatics. This is the first taste of how AMAZING the feature will be once fully realized. We made a very simple trick and just switched the animation of pack-in for a frontflip, I really love it, what do you think of acrobatics in our game? Is it a good idea? Let us know on our Discord.
You know we are working on the level editor in the background and this is one of the coolest toys you will be able to play with, fully modular tracks which let you create insane tracks. I hope the Xmas 2019 challenge is a good stress test, I had so much fun with it and I cannot wait what you will build!
Loooooooooooooong lasting boost is here, what does it mean? You no longer lose the momentum immediately, you can now cruise at high speed and enjoy the wind in your hair :) The next step from here is velocity driven movement system which (if you are interested) I can describe in detail on Discord ;)
Hello Rocket Maniacs! Buckle up, grab your cocktail and let's dive into the most epic update yet!
Do I even need to write anything here? Just marvel at this glorious picture above for a second. RBM is a great game, we all know that, but one thing that was missing was some really cool environment, well, not anymore, with this update you are about to experience this tropical pleasure!
And which map won the "first-to-be-redesigned" award? Lemon! That's right, one of the most fun and beloved maps had to be the first as it represents the tropical vibe the most. Build up momentum, collect lemons and throw them into the huge mixer, that is the concept in a nutshell. We have added one new cool feature - the conveyor belt. If you figure out how (it is not rocket science) you can turn it on and spawn a few extra lemons!
As if this update wasn't packed enough we included a few hidden statues which you can search for on the Lemon Island. We'd like to expand this concept into something like collectibles on more maps, so we are testing the waters to see how you like it. There are 3 hidden statues in the Lemon level, once you find them take a screenshot and post it to our Discord so people know you are the real deal!
The jump is essential to the game so that is why we decided to give it another pass. You can now brake if you press the oposite direction, the character no longer turns when you brake which makes it easier (especially for casual players) to make tight jumps as it it less confusing. We have also ramped up the visual turning speed mid-air so you no longer feel the character is rotating from a wrong pivot point - this doesnt affect the gameplay at all, but boy can you feel it.
We are constantly improving the game in all aspects and there are always updates down the line which work with these kind of updates, we have more plans for handles and that is why we have improved the looks and feels of handles as well as created some new fancy platform materials - I personally love the sun reflecting on the rubber pads - let me know what you think on our Discord!
Hello Rocket Maniacs! We are happy to announce yet another regular update, we are very excited about the new maps and hope to hear your feedback on our Discord. Quick summary:
I love grinding this level, the meta path is rather mellow getting slightly fast paced near the end, the Discord beta testers found out a great way how to cut the end part completely. Check #videos on our Discord.
Slighly on the hardcore side, we might tone this one down once we get some more feedback from you guys, anyway, some completely new obstacles and a lot of ways how to complete this level for sure, make sure to use the checkpoints, they come in very handy with levels like this :)
That about wraps this update, some cool maps and bunch of quality of life things, the next one is going to be far more sexy you can trust me on that! More info on our Discord, dont forget to join if you havent already!
What is up Rocket Maniacs! 
Because you have asked for it, we had to deliver! We are so happy and humbled that you loved this environment so much that you want it to be back in the game, we think it makes total sense and that is why we are bringing it online today!
Wonderland is a cool place, apart from really pretty surroundings you can look forward to traversing gravity defying obstacles in the very near future! (Stop by our Discord to see it live on stream!)
I have re-designed the design process! This map is build on a new concept which divides the level into "Sections" and I must admit I really like it, as it gives the player immediate orientation and you can track your progress while going through the level. It is medium-long length and I cannot wait to hear your feedback.
We also have some new customization options, thanks to Content Creators Nyks and Blancw we can enjoy the new levels with this sick swag!!
We now have more than 35 skins + the 2 original skins and the game is much cooler because of that. It was so epic it created a unique problem for us - the build was too awesome and it stopped working - that is the main reason for the dealy of this update, anyway, all is good and you can test the skins and let us know which one is your favorite.
Vortex is a map we created for our friends from Vortex, we are small indie studio and we appreaciate any help we can get and the best way to repay the favor is to highlight their work within our game, btw, there is also a Vortex skins for both Ricky and Zoe, check them out!
Cant wait to see your name on the leaderboard,
Hello Runners! If you have read the previous update post you know what is coming. We have polished and stabilized the build that was on the beta branch, fixed all bugs and today we release it on the main branch for everyone else to join.
We have received so much positive feedback from the beta testers and are curious what everyone else thinks! We cannot wait to hear you opinion. The best way to let us know your thoughts is through our official Discord. Discord is also a great way to get in touch with Content Creators and let them know how you like their skins and perhaps pitch your ideas for skins in the future!
