About Rocket Rivals
Enter the arena. Outmaneuver your rivals. Be the last ship standing.
Rocket Rivals is a fast-paced arcade arena game where every turn matters. Pilot your ship through neon battlefields, cut off your opponents, dodge incoming fire and unleash an arsenal of powerful weapons.
Play solo against AI rivals or bring nearby Android devices together for local multiplayer battles.
BATTLE YOUR WAY
Your ship never stops moving. Turn, dodge and find the perfect moment to attack. Fire forward, launch side shots, drop obstacles behind you and grab powerful upgrades scattered around the arena.
POWER UP
Discover weapons and abilities including twin guns, lasers, homing missiles, bouncing bombs, turbo boosts, plasma attacks and more. Every match can turn around in seconds.
LOCAL MULTIPLAYER
Battle with up to four players using nearby Android devices. One player hosts the arena and the others join locally — no player account required.
SOLO & CAMPAIGN PLAY
Take on AI-controlled rivals with multiple difficulty levels, play quick matches or fight through campaigns to build your career.
RISE THROUGH THE RANKS
Win campaign battles to progress through six career ranks and unlock increasingly impressive ships to show off your experience. Ranks are cosmetic — victory still comes down to skill.
BUILD YOUR OWN ARENAS
Create custom battlefields with destructible and indestructible blocks, cannons, laser doors, gravity fields, teleporters and more. Then take your creations into battle.
FIVE CLASSIC ARENAS
Jump straight into battle across a selection of built-in arenas, each with its own layout and tactical challenges.
MAKE IT YOUR MATCH
Customize game speed, weapons, power-ups, starting ammo, campaign length, controls and other gameplay options.
Fast rounds. Wild weapons. Close calls. One survivor.
