Celebrate #RocketJumpingDay With Tinertia Today

“To see how a gameplay mechanic like rocket jumping has evolved throughout gaming history since the launch of Quake is really cool,” states John Romero, renowned game designer and co-creator of Doom and Quake. “Since its introduction as a means of explosively quick propulsion in the original Quake, so many games have uniquely utilized rocket jumping, the latest being the really fun Tinertia.”

Gamers and rocket-jumping enthusiasts are invited to celebrate in an all-day livestreaming extravaganza where @ReverbGames and notable Twitch livestreamers will demonstrate the exhilarating joy of rocket-jumping in Tinertia. Blasting off the Twitch livestream schedule for Official Rocket Jumping Day are:

In Tinertia, gamers play as Weldon, the inauspicious robot who is equipped with a powerful rocket launcher that enables players to propel themselves through a kaleidoscopic series of challenging industrial environments. Weldon is stranded on a planet controlled by the evil ARC that has identified him as a threat and is now prepared to destroy him at any cost. Geared for the streaming generation with easy to pick-up but tough-to-master mechanics, Tinertia challenges gamers to master rocket-jumping. Players will control the momentum, rhythm, and speed of Weldon to launch him over deadly obstacles, outrun robo-bosses, and ultimately escape off the planet.
