Tinertia is a rocket-powered game that is inspired by the rocket-jumping antics of games like Quake, Unreal and Team Fortress. However, it’s a game with no jump button. Tinertia is surprisingly addictive and very challenging, it makes gamers laugh while getting their butts kicked :). Indie games are all over the place but how many times have you seen a game where the main character is not able to jump? In Tinertia, there’s actually no jump button.
You play as Weldon, a small robot equipped with a rocket launcher. Weldon is stranded on a deserted planet and is under attack by the evil ARC. Master rocket-jumping to control your momentum and lift Weldon over deadly obstacles, outrun robo-bosses and ultimately escape off the planet.
Now this little robot, Weldon, may not be able to jump, but he does come equipped with a rocket launcher. The rockets make this little robot jump and propel across platforms like in a game of Quake. Beyond that, the rockets are also utilized to speed up Weldon, as if you were speeding through a classic level of Sonic of the Hedgehog.
Take a peek at the latest trailer:
