Description

Rocket Bytes+ is a 1-bit, precision, rocket flying, rage inducing, reverse-platformer, where you control a group of rockets who need to collect energy and bring it back to their ship (a bigger rocket) so they can fly it safely back to their mothership (an even bigger rocket). Fly through over 30 hand-made levels in the main, Halloween, and plus campaigns, or create your own to share with friends with the built-in level editor.

History

Rocket Bytes is the Playdate exclusive "sequel" to Rocket Bits, a smaller project created by PossiblyAxolotl earlier in the year. While the original game was meant to be played using a Wii guitar controller, the controls lent themselves well to the Playdate's crank. In May 2024 a version called "Rocket Bytes+" released featuring 10 exclusive levels on Playdate Catalog and itch.io for $4 CAD/$3 USD.
