Rakete

Mario von Rickenbach – 2012

A spaceship flys through a parkour

Up to five players control the thrusters of a rocket using simple foot pedals.

Together they have to steer the craft through a cosmic landscape. With its rough pixel graphics and its simple game objective, »Rakete« recalls computer games of the early 1980s. The fascination results from the special interface of the game: Only through coordination and quick reaction of all the players will they succeed in landing the rocket on the platform.

»Rakete« won the Experimental Gameplay Competition in Berlin in 2012.
