This is a trademark of those Flappy Bird-esque games and any game from Ketchapp for that matter. In Captain Rocket, there are no power-ups to help your character become invincible for a temporary period of time, to make him move slower, to make the rockets disappear briefly, etc. It’s as simple as dodging the rockets and returning to the mother ship, wherever it may be.
Likewise, this is another hallmark of these titles – YOLO definitely applies here because once you hit an obstacle, that’s it. You’re done. Game over. And there’s no way to get extra lives either by watching videos or completing daily challenges. To put it succinctly, that’s not how Ketchapp rolls.
It may actually be counterproductive for you to jump from one rocket to the next one. Instead, you can try “rocket hopping,” which means skipping one rocket per jump you take. This may take a bit of practice, but as long as you can jump over one rocket and land on the next rocket, you’re on the right track.
When playing Captain Rocket, it’s a sound rule of thumb to stay as high as possible, because it could become dangerous if you stay too low for too long. That could be very dangerous and cause you to lose the game when you bump into a passing rocket. And you definitely want to stay high if you want your score to be high, or to be more exact, better than your old high score.
If you’re “practicing,” or not playing too seriously, then we advise you to leave your Internet connection on and help the developers by letting them display their ads. But if you really want to beat your old high score, then that’s when you can switch your phone to airplane mode or turn off your Wi-Fi – we know those ads can be a big distraction, so playing without them from time to time is alright in our book.
This is our last tip, and one that could save you a lot of headaches. A lot of the high scores on the Game Center or Google Play are hacked, and you don’t want to chase those ones – scroll a bit further down and you’re sure to see a lot of scores you can realistically beat out, just as long as you practice well, but not to the point of draining yourself out.
